Ultra Light Down Jacket
About Uniqlo’s jackets: Uniqlo's outerwear is function-first basics at scale: the packable Ultra Light Down line, water-repellent shells, and heavier down parkas, nearly all of it priced inside the budget tier. It is one of the few brands selling real down fill at these prices.

Our take
The Ultra Light Down Jacket is Uniqlo's best-known piece of outerwear: a thin, packable down puffer that stuffs into its own pouch and works as a mid-layer or a mild-weather outer. Owners consistently praise how little space and weight it takes up in a bag, and the price makes it an easy first down jacket. The caveats are real: the thin shell needs careful handling, it is not warm enough on its own in freezing weather, and Uniqlo offers no warranty.

The details
- Material
- A nylon shell over down fill that Uniqlo rates at 750+ fill power and reviewers list as 90% down and 10% feathers, with a water-repellent finish the brand notes is not permanent.
- Fit
- The cut is regular to relaxed, but owners report it sizes small by US standards; the common advice is to order one size up if you cannot try it on, especially if you plan to layer underneath.
- Quality
- Owners report it holds up well with careful use, but the thin shell is the trade-off for the low weight; reviewers class it as less durable than dedicated outdoor down jackets and advise keeping it away from snags and abrasion.
- Best for
- Travelers and commuters who want a cheap, packable warm layer for mild-to-cool weather rather than a standalone winter coat.
- Care
- Uniqlo's care label calls for a cold hand wash and no dry cleaning, so wash gently and air dry to protect the down and the water-repellent finish.
