Jacket suggestions?
Looking for a civilian jacket that maximizes the warmth-to-suitcase space ratio. Something that folds up easily into your rollaboard without being too bulky. Something that will get me through a winter layover in Chicago, or Buffalo, or Fargo. So, what's in your bag?

I carry a Barbour Beaufort jacket and have for many years. It's weather proof, not very thick and can be folded into roughly the size of your overnight bag and packed on top of. If I'm on a particularly cold overnight, I'll layer the sweater that I wear with my uniform underneath it and it's warm enough to walk anywhere. The acquisition cost of the jacket might make some people do a double take, but let's remember, we are rich airline pilots. I've had one for over a decade and it's just getting started. I'd rather buy 1 good thing than 10 disposable ones.
