Warm and light weight
The high quality is typical of Patagonia clothing. The vest is sharp looking and very functional. I have several vests and this is definitely one of the favorites. Like most of Patagonia's technical wear, it is well fitted and proportioned. Be warned though, the close fit does not leave much room for many layers of clothing underneath.
