Lululemon is selling an 'insanely lightweight' fall jacket — shoppers say it's 'excellent for travel'

Whether you're flying across the globe or simply commuting to work, it's safe to say that the less we have to carry, the better. As an avid commuter myself, I'm no stranger to the frustration of wearing a jacket on a chilly morning only to end up draping it over my arm by afternoon.

Lululemon's new Pack It Down Jacket — a down jacket that can be condensed into a compact form — was designed to solve this problem. Lightweight enough for layering yet warm enough to be worn on its own, this jacket is a great, versatile option for all kinds of travel.

Not to mention, it comes with a small nylon bag to easily pack it up on the go. Keep scrolling to find out if this cozy travel companion is worth its $228 price tag.

The details

The pack-it-down jacket comes in the trendiest colour of the season — Lululemon is calling it "deep luxe" (AKA burgundy). It features a slim-fit silhouette in sizes 0 through 14, designed for casual everyday wear.

Not only is it water-resistant, but it's also windproof. So you can stay dry and comfortable during your travels, no matter the weather conditions.

As its name implies, the jacket is insulated with goose down (700-fill-power, to be exact) and feathers, providing lightweight warmth. It's also constructed with something called ThermoChannel, which helps eliminate cold spots and reduces bulk.

🏆 "Excellent for everyday and travel."

This "sleek and chic" Lululemon jacket seems to be the ultimate travel companion, according to countless rave reviews.

One customer shared that the piece is "insanely lightweight" while also praising the fact that it "somehow still works in cold weather."

Another shopper gushed, "It's travelling to Paris with me this fall!" — if it's good enough for Paris, it's good enough for me.

Someone called it the "perfect combo," considering it has a "super flattering fit" while being "very warm."

It runs true to size, but due to its slim silhouette, some customers opted to size up for extra room and comfort. While one person said they "love the length on this jacket," they also noted the "sleeves are a bit long."

The verdict

If you're on the hunt for a lightweight jacket that will also keep you warm, Lululemon's Pack It Down Jacket may just be the way to go. While it is definitely a bit more of an investment piece, ringing in at $228, it's well worth the price for what you get, in my opinion — and shoppers seem to share the same stance.

Whether you have a lot of travelling coming up or are simply looking to add a versatile jacket to your wardrobe for the fall, this jacket has you covered (literally).
