Mountain Hardwear WindStopper Tech Vest - Men's
I Now Have a "Vested" Interest

I was late to the vest game, having never owned one before this piece (not counting a few components of misguided biz attire that I'd rather forget).
Vest's always seemed too puffy for my desired application of keeping my core warm while leaving my arms free for action. This unit proved to be a real game changer for me.
In addition to providing a bit of soft insulation (if a wee bit stiff, thanks to the Windstopper membrane), this thing absolutely keeps the winds at bay.
Excellent build quality (as usual for MH), great fit (5'6, 180lbs in a Med), terrific collar and lot's of well placed pockets have me wearing this thing all the time.
All in all, a wise in-vest-ment!
