Sure, technical winter jackets are great for keeping you warm in freezing weather, but if you only don your winter clothes for getting around town like most people, paying extra for alpine features just doesn’t seem like the most economical idea. So if you’re shopping for a new jacket for the remainder of the season, it might be a good idea to skip the climbing jackets and pick up NAU’s Intersect Utility Down Sweater instead.
Billed as a “tailored twist to a winter staple,” it’s a puffy jacket that’s been fashioned to carry a low enough profile that it wears as unobtrusively as a sweater, allowing it to serve as the perfect everyday jacket during romps around town. Heck, it even looks almost like sweater, complete with a slim silhouette that should make for a more stylish addition to your urban outfits.
The NAU Intersect Utility Down Sweater is a lightweight puffy jacket packed with 800-fill goose down, allowing it to offer all the warmth you require during the season. A weather-resistant DWR surface finish allows it to shed both water and snow, while the same treatment on the zipper lets you open and close up the jacket without getting a freezing jolt. Construction is a blend of polyester and cotton, with a protective double wind flap zip to keep the wind and chilly breezes out. Features include two zippered hand warmer pockets, a drop-in internal pocket, a drawcord hem, and elastic cuffs.
Available now, the NAU Intersect Utility Down Sweater is priced at $260.
