Hi folks! Everyone was very helpful on my SF post so I have another question. The next packing list I'm working on is my April/May honeymoon in Italy. We'll be there for two weeks at the end of April and moving between a few climates. I've been to Italy before, including in the spring, but that was about 10 years ago now and my base was further south than much of this trip, so I am pondering my jacket situation. We'll be in Venice > Trento > Tuscany > Umbria > Rome. Venice and Trento, especially, will likely be a bit colder than the rest of the trip, but not extreme - around 55-60 F during the day.

Obviously the solution is layers, so I am trying to decide where to supplement what I have, and Uniqlo currently has their Ultra Light Down on sale in my favorite color. Would that be worth it?

Here's what I am currently thinking for layers that can be stacked/exchanged as needed:

• Rain jacket (hood, thigh length, big enough to layer under quite a bit)

• Uniqlo Down (would need to buy)

• Fleece Zip-Up

• Merino cardigan

• Button-up shirt for sunny days

My current similar jacket is an Eddie Bauer field jacket that I like, but is not as packable, in a less versatile color. Thoughts? Anybody have & love this jacket for similar temps of 50-60 F?

Hey everyone,

I recently picked up the Ultra Light Down Jacket from Uniqlo and wanted to share my thoughts on its performance in colder weather. I've been using it in temperatures around 15 degrees Celsius (that's about 59 degrees Fahrenheit) and lower.

I've found that while the jacket is impressively lightweight and packable, its thermal efficiency starts to feel a bit lacking when the temperature drops below 15°C. It's great for mild cold, but I'm curious about others' experiences.

Has anyone else found that the Ultra Light Down Jacket doesn't quite cut it for warmth when it gets colder than 15°C (59°F)? What temperatures do you find it works best in? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have for layering with this jacket to maximize its warmth.

Thanks!
