Our motto is: always be prepared (or is that Boy Scouts?). In any case, Uniqlo has the solution for when a trip takes you to every conceivable climate, and you can’t check a bag. A Uniqlo jacket, specifically Ultra Light Down Coats, is a packable jacket that you can ball up to make the perpetual travel companion and layering piece. The jackets are thin, but a lot warmer than they look, as well as rain-proof for those unexpected storms.
Speaking of looks, besides having the selection of the rainbow in colors, the collar also folds down from a crewneck to a v-neck, so the jacket can stay invisible if you choose to wear it underneath another layer. You know, for when that fashionable Dior coat that really wasn’t made for winter needs an extra layer of warmth. And the best part is that they’re inexpensive – the jackets start at $59.90, and the analogous vests start at $39.90.
