A jacket with enough insulation to truly keep you warm tends to be a bit of a space hog in a suitcase. Not so the new Thinsulite “LiteLoft” Packable Jackets from Woolrich — the Penn’s Run jacket for men and the more fitted Belwood Jacket for women. The insulation is box-quilted under a featherweight, water-resistant, ripstop nylon shell. The jacket has an insulated, stand-up collar for neck-warming, a two-way front zipper for top and bottom venting, side-seam zippered hand-warmer pockets and an internal security pocket. The jacket packs into its own built-in stuff sack, making it a handy back-up pillow as well. Available in black or perkier colors. Packable jacket in women’s Belwood style (15070) or men’s Penn Run style (16051), $140, or 877-512-7305.
