PATAGONIA DOWN SWEATER VEST (MEN'S)

The Down Sweater Vest by Patagonia is ultralight, highly compressible core insulation for cold mountain pursuits.

Impossible to confuse with the sweater vests found on golf courses and in bingo parlors, Patagonia's Down Sweater Vest comes packed with ultratoasty 800-fill down to trap heat during spastic alpine conditions. The minimalist design practically floats, and is so compact it stuffs into its own mesh-lined chest pocket (with carabiner clip-in loop). The innovative, superlight polyester shell, with DelugeŽ DWR (durable water repellent), provides wind and water protection combined with high tear-strength.

Quilted construction stabilizes the down, and zippers close the two hand pockets. With lightweight coiled zippers throughout and a drawcord hem.
