Key Features Explained
The stand-up collar adds coverage around the neck, while the drawcord hem lets you adjust the lower opening. The vest has three zipped pockets: two hand-warmer pockets and one on the chest.
The filling is a blend rather than down alone: 80% recycled 700FP down and 20% kapok, a plant-based filling material. The outer fabric is recycled ripstop polyester.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Size and layering: XS is the listed size for this option. Consider what you plan to wear underneath and check the fit information before selecting a size.
- Weight and length: The stated 404 g weight and 64 cm back length apply to size M. Do not treat those measurements as exact XS measurements.
- Filling: Check that the down and kapok blend suits your preference if comparing it with a vest using a different insulation type.
- Pockets: The design has two zipped hand-warmer pockets and one zipped chest pocket. Consider whether that arrangement meets your needs.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
This is a women’s regular-fit vest, listed here in black and XS. The available back-length measurement is for size M only, so it should not be used as the length for XS. Allow for the layers you intend to wear underneath when checking the fit.
Before You Decide
Confirm the selected option is the black XS, check its fit for your intended layers, and bear in mind that the stated 64 cm length and 404 g weight refer to size M. The filling is a down and kapok blend, not all down.
