What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"This is my go-to vest for shoulder season layering or under a shell in colder weather. It’s light, warm, and the Cordura outer holds up to pack straps and long days in the field. Plus, the zippered chest pocket is super handy for my phone or GPS."When cold weather calls for added core warmth without sacrificing mobility, we reach for the Tradecraft II Vest. It packs synthetic VerticalX™ insulation for dependable heat retention in mixed conditions, while the abrasion-resistant Cordura® shell holds strong through rugged terrain, repeated layering, and gear-heavy outings.A fleece-lined collar adds comfort, and zippered pockets keep essentials secure. Whether layered over a fleece for high-output hikes or under a shell for alpine approaches, this lightweight insulator earns a permanent place in our cold-weather kit.
