Warmth without bulk

• Lightweight recycled ThermoBall insulation helps trap warmth without adding significant bulk

• Regular fit with clean armholes for comfortable layering and unrestricted movement

Weather-ready protection

• WindWall fabric offers wind resistance, while a 100% recycled polyester body and lining enable breathability

Exploration Without Compromise is more than a slogan—it's a badge that helps shoppers identify products made with significant recycled or responsibly sourced materials. To qualify, apparel, equipment, and accessories must meet 75% or greater recycled or renewable content by weight. This vest earned the badge based on its materials and construction, signaling a commitment to sustainable choices alongside performance.
