Drift Insulated Vest
Sale price $188Regular price $218On sale
The Drift Insulated Vest is a packable synthetic layer for cold starts, windy rest stops, and exposed transitions. It adds focused warmth around the core while leaving the arms free for climbing, camp work, and active movement. Low-bulk insulation continues to perform when damp and compresses into a small space in a day pack. A wind-resistant face fabric cuts convective heat loss, while stretch side panels improve breathability and keep the silhouette close enough to wear beneath a shell. Two hand pockets warm cold fingers, and an internal drop pocket keeps gloves or a map close at hand. The vest is built as a dependable layer to put on quickly when pace slows and stow just as quickly when the route turns upward.
