It’s no secret that being benighted sucks. It’s even less of a secret that being benighted while unprepared sucks even more. Needless to say, you don’t want to be that unprepared person stumbling around in the dark, long past when you should be tucked cozily in bed. In these situations, having a jacket like the La Sportiva Coldai is indispensable. With a svelte weight and ability to squeeze in very tight spaces, the Coldai doesn’t take up much real estate in your pack while the 700 fill power goose down puffs up like a puffer fish, supplying much-needed warmth when you need it most. Most down jackets can be boxy, immobile affairs, but the underarm gussets on the Coldai encourage mobility and discourage the jacket from riding up. The two internal pockets provide adequate storage for your Clif Bars or phone while also doubling as a stuff sack, allowing it to be clipped to a harness easily. For a light and mobile jacket that will be there when you need it most, reach for the La Sportiva Coldai Down Jacket.
