1. For the friend that’s always cold, then hot, then cold, then...
Goop
Self-Heating Inner Down Jacket
This jet-setter's jacket is our favorite new travel companion. The lightweight inner lining has a set of micro heating coils that charge on a simple phone battery. Style Hint: We love that it's a convertible three-in-one piece, so you can wear it as a vest (on warm days) or when the temps drop you can make it even cozier by zipping on the jacket's pair of long or short sleeves, which all fit in a tiny nylon pouch. Stash it in your tote and never be cold onboard again!
