Adam ★★★★★

I’ve been wearing this vest on chilly morning walks and the 900+ fill down keeps my core warm without any bulk. The Lycra hem stays put even when I bend or reach, which is a nice detail.

Harper ★★★★★

The Lycra arm holes are the standout detail—no more cold air sneaking in when I reach for things, and the 900+ fill power keeps my core toasty on brisk morning walks. It packs down small enough to toss in a daypack, which makes it my go-to layer for unpredictable weather.

John ★★★★★

I was surprised by how warm this vest is for how lightweight it feels. The 900 fill down keeps my core toasty even on chilly mornings without any bulk.
