Patagonia Womens Down Sweater Vest Black (Spring 2013)

The light, high-lofting feathers in this Vest float just off your core, trapping heat without you knowing anything's there. Until, of course, you take off the Vest (and quickly put it back on). Its 800-fill-power down seals in warmth, and it's so compact it stuffs into a stretch-mesh internal pocket (with a carabiner clip-in loop). The innovative 100% recycled polyester shell with a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish provides wind and water protection as well as high tear-strength; quilting stabilizes the down. With zippered handwarmer pockets and a drawcord hem.
