For added protection from weather and wear, the guys at Filson have added an additional reinforcing layer over the shoulders. Their Ultralights are insulated with PrimaLoft® Gold, which closely replicates the packability and softness of goose down better than any synthetic insulation available. PrimaLoft Gold’s most impressive performance attribute, however, is that it retains 98% of its insulating ability when wet, making this the perfect rain jacket this Fall. ($195)
