Albion employee here (design); it's a great product, love mine, v versatile. For packing so small, it returns a lot of warmth. Nice as an outer, or wear under a rainjacket to winterize (sorry to use that word), and I think this is where it excels; it's so small it layers with any outfit to keep things toasty when the temp drops - so yes, riding into the night would be great.
I don't bother with the stuffsack, it ends up in a tennis ball shape, but roll it into a cylinder to fit into a pocket and then use the hem shockcord to keep it rolled up neatly.
To set expectations, and depending how hot you run, it's not for freezing temps (unless worn as a layer), and won't replace a regular lofted puffer jacket if you're sitting around at night and not generating any heat.
It is quite fitted, but if sleeping in it, I think you'd just unzip the double zip sliders whichever way you need to get comfy.
Afraid they're not in Pinarello or Condor yet, but you're more than welcome to drop into Deptford studio to take a look - the new grass green colour is :)))

Anyone got much practical experience Albion Ultralight Insulated Jacket... how warm is it? Especially interested as a layer to have in the bag as a bit of extra warmth on overnight rides or even to throw on when having a kip (although I guess the cut may be prohibitive for that).
