As I so often talk about here on the blog, reliability is the name of the game as you dress for winter weather, especially when it comes down to bundling up with one of the best winter jackets for men. And where’s a guy to go to get that reliability, warmth and performance in his own wardrobe? It’s simple, really: Filson, longtime outfitters of rugged explorers and adventurers — and stylish guys like yourself, of course.

We’re all in luck today, because the Filson Winter Shop is the well-stocked place to go if you’ve been dealing with extreme winter weather and blustery cold already. You’ll find cozy sweaters and warm winter accessories aplenty within the Filson Winter Shop, of course, but it’s the Filson Pateros Down Jacket I’ve had my eye on as of late. The key is the ultra-lightweight shell fabric for extra mobility out and about this winter, yet it’s what’s inside the Filson Pateros Down Jacket that really counts.

Of course, the Filson Pateros Down Jacket has a relaxed fit so you can layer other essentials like a Filson thermal shirt or one of the best flannel shirts for men underneath, but it should prove plenty warm nearly regardless of what you wear underneath it (please, leave the T-shirt at home and choose something more sturdy, though). The key, of course, with the Filson Pateros Down Jacket is the warm 650-fill power goose down, the kind of natural insulation outdoors-minded folks have relied on for years.

It doesn’t hurt that the Filson Pateros Down Jacket includes handy features like flannel-lined pockets and an elastic drawstring cord waist for a secure fit that keeps out unwanted snow and wind. The hood itself also features an elastic drawstring for a snug fit on the most blustery days, and the snap chest pockets deliver crucial space for your EDC essentials.

For good measure, colors like a rich green Fir make the Filson Pateros Down Jacket a pick that’s as stylish as it is warm when it comes to the best men’s winter jackets. Yes indeed, when it comes time to layer up, make sure you’ve got the Filson Pateros Down Jacket close at hand.
