As practical as it is, a good down vest really is one of life’s more enjoyable luxuries, and the Flylow Women’s Laurel Down Vest most definitely qualifies. This lightweight midlayer weighs in at just about half a pound, yet delivers serious warmth, making it equally well suited to big days in the backcountry as it is stopping at your favorite coffee spot for a pick me up. It’s stuffed with ethically sourced, RDS Certified 600 fill down, and it’s treated with DWR to help sleet or drizzle bead up, rather than soaking in. And the wind resistant construction makes it ideal for milder days when you want take a stroll around town. The tasteful colors and flattering silhouette complete the package for this outstanding lightweight layer.
