Women's Down Vests

A down vest can pay dividends long after the snow is gone. Natural compressibility creates real stow and go benefits for this versatile garment. Keep it in your pack to throw on and maintain heat while you relax and gather your strength. At the end of the day, at night around the camp, in the morning before breakfast, a key benefit of down is it’s natural ability for heat regulation, which will keep you in the comfort zone across a broader temperature range than a synthetic fill with a comparable rating. A down vest is not for activities where you will likely encounter excessive moisture, and so down vests from companies like Marmot and The North Face all come in water resistant fabrics and finishes.
