The Alps & Meters Men's Touring Vest has an almost après-ski style if it wasn't more than acceptable to wear on bluebird days as well as around the ski town. Alps & Meters waxed the breathable cotton-blended shell for water-resistance that can shed snow spraying from skis, or even a light rain shower on an alpine trek. Polartec Alpha insulates the vest with a unique air permeability that begins to breathe right when you put the vest on, making it great for more athletic endeavors.
