The warmth-to-weight ratio of the REI 650 Down Jacket 2.0 is hard to beat and we’re digging its aesthetic—we only wish it compressed smaller.

The REI Ruckpack 40 is a solid travel pack with a slick look, excellent carry, stealthy organization, and a metric ton of functionality. If you couldn’t tell, we like it quite a bit…but we’re not huge fans of the laptop compartment or the lack of strap management.
