Whether youre shooting chutes in the Chugach Range or trudging to the local coffee shop, this lightweight, exceptionally warm vest works overtime. 550 down-fill combines with an Omni-Heat thermal reflective lining for supreme heat retention in a lightweight, packable package. Although great for layering under a heavier shell during extreme conditions, its also a stand-up weather fighter on its own, with Omni-Shield advanced repellency to ward off the wet. A zippered chest pocket and hand pockets keep all your essentials secure.

Long and warm
I've had this for a week, and took it on my winter trip to Minnesota. It's been plenty warm, but when unzipped is not uncomfortable indoors or in the car. It is lightweight and compacts nicely. It runs a bit large, which is good if you need length (I do) but does also run a bit large in the girth (which I don't need). But it's still pretty toasty. Pros: Nice soft neck lining. Long, so goes below belt line Lightweight Warm Outside breast pocket Cons: No inside pockets No drawstring to cinch bottom. I have no idea about whether it is water resistant (thankfully). Seems to be good build quality, but time will tell.
