Light, yes. Warm, no.

By Rumdoodle Ranked #422 - Men's Vests August 18, 2009

Expensive, impressive, and a fit to kill for. But having tried this vest in a variety of chilly wet situations on the trail, I can say that I found no discernable improvement over just wearing my Backcountry.com wool jersey and a parka versus adding the vest. The warmth improvement is minimal, in my opinion, but it might just be the edge you are looking for, particularly in your 30-degree sleeping bag at night. Highly packable and of negligent weight. I would not recommend it for wilderness travel of any serious duration, even though the weight is so very very light. It is just too light to make a significant difference for the price.
