Who else is done with their big fat puffer? I sure am, and cannot wait to swap it for something more gallant as we now slowly move into lighter weight outerwear-appropriate thermal territory. And this Nike one is so light, in fact, it'll fit in a pocket. But not at the expense at keeping you warm.

From its ACG stable, this stallion of a jacket is the dream of for transitional weather. Down-filled and quilted, the trail-tested "Lava Loft" sits on one's shoulders as soft and weightless as the feathers it's stuffed with.

Taking the brand acronym's "All Conditions Gear" promise very seriously, this garment is as welcome within a hiking 'fit as it as when worn out about town with a more casual getup.

We have Nike's signature Therma-FIT technology to think for keeping body temperature regulated and water outside. Available in either a classy all-black or a more attention-commanding neon orange, the Lava Loft is a no-brainer for all athleisure- or gorpcore-attuned shoppers out there, even nearly at $300 a piece.

It's another reminder of how high Nike ACG has recently set the bar, both for itself and competitors, lest one forgets its exquisite Olympic gear or sneaker-y mountain boots.

That said, expectations for whatever else the outdoor player is to present this year remain as high as the mountains it sees you climbing up decked in its gear.
