| Who makes the lightest weight down coat for women? Packable a plus! |

| How warm do you need? There are a ton of down sweaters available. |

| Uniqlo. Bonus: it's cheap and folds into it's own little bag. |

| Patogonia Down Sweater or Down Shirt. |

Agree with the Patagonia Down Sweater. Super lightweight. The downside is that it is not windproof (hence the sweater moniker) so not good for outdoor activities in the winter. I can't use mine for skiing, even in the spring, but it's great as a casual jacket for most of the winter around here. |

I bought this coat and LOVE it. Love love love love love it.
Its very light weight, so comfortable, versatile, warm, very flattering (no horizontal stripes, form fitting, comes in petite) . I am thinking about buying a second one, in case they stop making them! http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/75230?page=ultralight-850-down-coat |

| I like my Uniqlo one. Inexpensive and works for a wide range of temperatures. |

You need to layer if going outdoor in cold weather. This is when you want the lightest and least bulky. Otherwise, a light down coat will not be enough. You will be better off with a heavier coat if you do not layer. |

l And about as fugly as they come. The Patagonia Down Sweater is great for this climate. I wear it on all but a few (very cold) days. |
