Ultra light down jackets

The best lightweight outdoor winter/autumn jackets ever?

Now I know this is not technically a gadget, but I’ve been amazed at how great these things are.

Ultra light down jackets are essentially a lightweight thin version of a traditional bulky puffer jacket that folds down into its own carry cover that is just the size of a tall beer can.

Believe me when I say that wearing these things on a cold day with just a tee shirt underneath will keep you toasty warm. They weigh nothing so ideal for the budget airline brigade who will always have a great warm jacket without the bulk when travelling.

I went on three day trip recently and the jacket was fantastic. The only bit of clothing to make my top ten but trust me, you need one of these.

Uniqlo do a great range from around £50.
