The single most important element for keeping warm? Core insulation. Patagonia's Down Vest uses a durable, lightweight, downproof and highly water-repellent shell fabric and high-quality down. Details include zippered handwarmer pockets, a drawcord hem, an interior zippered stash pocket and a stuff sack. Quilting lines complement the low-bulk, femininely shaped fit.
