But you'll also find a ton of lightweight jackets on sale in preparation for falling temperatures, including one style from Fjallraven that shoppers say makes the ideal fall-to-spring transitional layer.
Right now, Fjallraven's Keb Padded Insulated Hoodie is on sale for $187—a rarely-seen 25% discount on the normal $250 price. These hoodies have earned over 25 five-star ratings at REI from shoppers who say they're "seriously comfortable." Three colors—green, black, and tan—have been marked down in sizes small through 2XL, but only until the sale ends on Sept. 2, and that's if they don't sell out first.

This Fjallraven jacket strikes the perfect balance of weight and warmth. It's made from flexible but durable polyester and is filled with 60 grams of G-Loft Supreme synthetic insulation, which is known for its ability to dry quickly, compress easily, and wash safely. The jacket features an adjustable hood, hand pockets, a zippered chest pocket, and an internal stash pocket, and the cuffs and hemline have been elasticized to better seal off cold air. It's warm enough to wear on its own for brisk fall days but also makes a great mid-layer under a waterproof jacket for skiing and winter trekking.
Those who have worn this Fjallraven hoodie note that it makes an ideal companion for shoulder season. "It doesn't get too hot and will be perfect for fall and spring, too," a shopper said after wearing it all winter in New England. "The styling is perfect for casual wear and athleisure paired with a pair of joggers…fits me perfectly with plenty of space for shoulders and tight in the right spots near the waist."

Even across the country in Northern California, shoppers say it works exceptionally well. "The perfect jacket for San Francisco's chill," a shopper exclaimed. "This jacket may be in the running for my new favorite thing…It's lightweight, but it's just long enough to keep my backside warm and the hood is perfect when the wind kicks up. I wear it around SF, including light hikes north of the city in the Marin headlands. Its weight and versatility are just what I was looking for."
If you're looking for the ideal fall jacket, something that's warm enough for fluctuating temperatures but flexible enough for the daily grind, this Keb Padded Insulated Hoodie should be at the top of your list. Fjallraven's gear doesn't get marked down frequently, so when you find it on sale, you have to act quickly.
