What are some good travel jackets? I live in a very cold city but my client is in Arizona. I only pack a carry on and don’t want a winter jacket to carry around. I would just wear a light jacket but all the airport service parking lots are closed now. I have to park at the airport and it’s a long walk. I was thinking of getting The North Face Women’s Thermoball Eco Triclimate Jacket. It seems perfect but sold out everywhere. What are your suggestions?
