OK, it’s true. It never gets all that cold here in Northern California, but I sure was happy I was getting a chance to try out the Lands’ End Windfall Squall Jacket the other day. It was a freezing afternoon and I was on my way to watch my 4 year old play soccer on a wet and muddy field on a gloomy day.

I was pleasantly surprised by how warm yet not-too-bulky this jacket was. It comes in cute colors too.

The waterproof, breathable, performance-packed Windfall Squall Technical Snowsport Jacket for women. Unrivaled protection, comfort and style. Our exclusive AquaCheck nylon shell keeps you dry and comfortable even when your activities start to raise your body temperature. And the PolarThin insulation gives you our warmest protection without bulk. Along with the warm, dry protection, we’ve also built in a number of other features. Like a fleece-lined zip-up high collar, adjustable stowaway hood with visor, fleece-lined zip-close outer pockets, multiple inside pockets designed for cell phones and MP3 players and an outer chest pocket with waterproof zipper. There’s even a specially-designed ski pass attachment down by the left hand pocket. So altogether, you get a hardworking jacket that looks great too. 100% nylon. Machine wash.

Regularly $100, this jacket is currently on sale for $90. Check it out if you’re looking for something that is really warm yet doesn’t make you look like the Michelin Man.
