Patagonia Down Sweater Vest (2008)

 

Product Description

Features

Featuring an innovative shell material, our Down Sweater Vest is the lightest insulation we know of for staying warm in spastic alpine conditions. The minimalist design practically floats and is so compact it stuffs into its own mesh-lined chest pocket. The shell provides wind and water protection with high tear-strength to counter the abrasion of packstraps and gear slings. For exposed bivys, 800-fill down adds unsurpassed warmth. Includes two zippered hand pockets, lightweight coiled zippers throughout and a drawcorded hem.
