Patagonia Down Vest
National Geographic Adventure - January 2007
Light and airy, the new women's Down Vest is the perfect bit of fall insulation to throw under a shell or in your pack. Unlike most down vests, the shiny, baffled skin is extremely fine denier polyester ripstop and the innards are 700-fill goose down, so it warms you discreetly, without puffing you up like the Michelin Woman.
Specifications:
- Updated fabric package is more durable for alpine pursuits, but still lightweight; Deluge® DWR finish; Variable polyester ripstop yarns create crossdye colors
- Both the shell and lining fabrics are downproof, water-repellent and extremely lightweight; Lining is supple for comfort against the skin
- 700-fill-power European goose down insulation possesses an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and retains its loft after multiple compressions; Tapered 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 invisible zippered hand pockets lined with brushed tricot
- Drawcorded hem; Includes stuff sack with DWR finish
- Shell: 2.4-oz. 50 x (30 x 50) denier variable polyester ripstop fade with Deluge® DWR finish. Lining: 1.8 -oz. 50 x 50 denier polyester with Deluge®DWR finish
- 340 g. (12 oz.)
