Featured in Switchback Travel's Best Down Jackets Guide

"Plopping squarely in the lightweight category, this cozy down jacket boasts an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio, phenomenal fit, and relatively affordable price tag to boot. The synthetic insulation in moisture-prone areas (similar to ___'s pricier ___) has made this one of our favorite insulators for fast-and-light climbing trips and mountaineering objectives, but it’s also sleek enough to wear casually."

This just may be the ideal puffy for many backpackers.

In fact, it’s tempting to call the Accelerator the Goldilocks of down jackets, because it seems so ideal for camping in the mountains in the typically cool weather of summer and fall, or spring and fall in the desert Southwest: It’s not so thin and lightweight that it’s never quite warm enough for many people, but also not overly warm, which would make it unnecessarily heavier and bulkier.
