10 of the Best Packable Down Jackets for Men: Small In Size Big on Warmth

Buying Guides, Style

Packable down jackets for men are a great option during the winter. They make up a necessary part of any winter wardrobe. They’re lighter than their bigger siblings but still offer excellent warmth. Some of the jackets on this list have a fill power rating up to 900, which is great for any jacket.

But the main reason to get one of these jackets is for their convenience. Whether you’re boarding a plane or taking a walk, the ability to stuff your jacket into a small pack is a great option. Some of these jackets even have an interior pocket you can pack them in to. So you don’t have to worry about losing a separate bag.

Before we jump into the list let’s answer some relevant questions.

Packable Down Jacket FAQ

What’s a packable down jacket?

A packable down jacket is a down jacket that you can store away. These jackets will fold into a backpack or suitcase without adding too much weight. While any down jacket will be very light, most can’t fold into small areas for those times you don’t need it.

Are down jackets in style?

Down jackets are in style in the sense that they are never out of style. These items are too practical and too useful to ever go out of circulation!

How do you style a down jacket?

There are a few ways you can style a down jacket. One is to lean into the practical aspect. Pair it with a thick knitted sweater or flannel shirt, along with heavy boots and rugged jeans. Another option is to go for an urban look. Choose a hoodless down jacket and match it with a beanie and hoodie. Down vests also work well worn this way. Finally, a down jacket can look smarter if you choose a thinner style with no hood. Wear it over the top of an oxford shirt and chinos for a great look.

Is a down jacket smart or casual?

A down jacket is generally considered to be a more casual look. The best down jackets are more about keeping you warm and dry than helping you to look professional. That said, there are woolier jackets that will work with office attire. And these are also a good option for your commute.

Can you wear a down jacket in summer?

A jacket designed to be waterproof and warm, and is better worn in the winter months.

This means you can bring it with you on long trips, or out on the town. The power fill rating comes in at 750 fill power making it suitable for all but the coldest conditions.

The Rab Neutrino Packable Down Jacket ($265) is another great mid-range option. It features an 800-fill hydrophobic down.
