A good down vest is like having roadside assistance for your car: When you break down in the middle of nowhere, you’ll be thankful you have it. You can throw the Larry Vest on under your shell when a cold front blows in on the mountain, wear it tuning skis in the fall, and sport it day and night around town. The Larry Vest has all the fluff and warmth you’d expect from 600-fill down feathers and oversized baffling made from recycled taffeta but without the bulk. This packable vest has a high collar that blocks wind and European goose down to insulate your core.
