Good for running but not sure about hiking

By Maxpwr1 Ranked #907 - Men's Vests July 24, 2007

I live in Wisconsin and I tested it during one of my morning runs. It was 55 degrees outside and windy - the vest holds nicely. I was looking more into using it for my 200+ mile hike this year but being above 10000+, I don't think this vest will do the job. Perhaps, the lightweight R4 jacket will do the tric. However, it is 18 oz - so I am taking my Patagonia PuffBall (11 oz) for the trip since it works well last year - although bulkier.
