Solid Vest
By Barrett Wood
Ranked #3 - Men's Vests
September 26, 2008
I've been very impressed with this vest. It is thin but retains heat very well. The fabric is super stretchy and it repels water and blocks wind like a champ. I got it for use as a midlayer under my Epsilon SV and it fits really well despite the athletic cut of the Arcteryx as well as my Alchemy. This vest is comfortable, close fitting but stretchy, and very effective. Worth the money.
Note: it has a hem drawcord and an internal chest pocket, neither of which is listed in the tech specs.
