Sooner or later, everybody needs a lightweight down jacket. Whether for post ride relaxing, camping, or just going brewery hopping, nothing delivers more efficient warmth that the classic "puffy" coat.

The Bontrager Amundsen has a contoured fit for better on-bike comfort, plus more fill on the chest to keep your core warm, which as any experienced cold weather rider knows, is the key to staying warm.
