Patagonia: Men's Down Vest - Altrec.com Product Description:

The best way to keep your fingers warm is to keep your torso covered. Only when the core is challenged does it steal heat from the extremities. This vest's lightweight, downproof and highly water-repellent shell material is more durable this season. Details include zippered handwarmer pockets, a drawcord hem, an interior zippered stash pocket and a stuff sack.

Updated fabric package is more durable for alpine pursuits, but still lightweight; Deluge DWR finish; Both the shell and lining fabrics are downproof, water-repellent and extremely lightweight
Lining is supple for comfort against the skin; European goose down insulation possesses an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and retains its loft after multiple compressions
Regular fit allows for underlayers; Soft polyester knit lining at neck for next-to-skin comfort
Full-length main zip is backed by a no-snag draft flap; Spandex-bound armholes
Pockets: interior zippered stash pocket, two zippered hand pockets lined with brushed tricot; Drawcorded hem
Includes stuff sack with DWR finish
Shell: 2-oz. 50 x 50 denier ripstop polyester with Deluge® DWR finish. Lining: 1.8-oz. 50 x 50 denier polyester with Deluge DWR finish. Insulation: 700-fill-power goose down

Super warm and versatile I really dig this vest. It's so versitile and warm. I take it on every trip where cold may be a factor. The 700 fill down is light and lofts up pretty well. My only gripe is the zipper snagged the fabric one time and tore a hole in the ripstop polyester. I put a small patch on it and it works fine. I guess that just gives it character.

Great Vest, Poor Fit I spent some time deliberating on this vest over the course of several shopping trips to my local retailer. It is a very nice vest - warm, comfy and complete with the style and quality you'd expect from Patagonia. However, I'd definitely recommend trying this particular vest on in person if you can manage it. At 6 ft, 170 lbs, the L size was just a bit too small for me, and the XL was too big. On the last trip to the store I had my parents come along, and they verified the awkward fit. I'm right between sizes, it appears, so try to check this one out before buying. I'm docking a few stars therefore, because the cut could have been much better.
