Crushing down to around the size of a tennis ball, it is pretty safe to call the Craft Featherlight jacket 'packable.' In fact not only does it pack small, but it weighs virtually nothing, as the name suggests. For that you get a windproof and water resistant shell with mesh sides for ventilation, a full length zip and small rear pocket that also stashes the jacket.
Whipping it out when the weather turns we love it, with a very comfortable yet fitted cut, a long tail providing superb coverage and soft fleecey collar it is actually a pleasure to wear - not always the case with super-light garments.
Weight saving dictates there is no adjustment at the collar, cuffs or hem, with light elastic instead holding it all in place. This works out fine, as the ventilation at the sides and all the way down the back of the sleeves works a treat to keep the headwind off yet stuffiness to a minimum.
We did find it coming in quite small for size, so just make sure you try before you buy if at all possible.
An excellent - and almost undetectable - addition to your back pocket when heading out for spring, summer and autumn rides where you might need to shrug off a light shower or escape a chilly breeze.
