Fuego Down Vest - Plus Size - Women's

Ripstop Nylon is a specially woven fabric designed to resist tearing and ripping. Its unique grid pattern of thicker threads prevents small tears from spreading, making it an ideal choice for outdoor gear. This durability ensures that your gear can withstand rough conditions, providing you with reliable performance during your adventures.

A DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish helps fabrics repel water, causing it to bead up and roll off rather than soaking in. While it doesn't make the fabric completely waterproof, it significantly increases its water resistance, keeping you drier during unexpected rain or wet conditions. This feature is essential for anyone engaging in outdoor activities.

The term 800-fill down refers to the quality and insulation capability of the down feathers used in the vest. A higher fill power, like 800, indicates superior loft and warmth without adding extra weight. This means you can stay warm in cold conditions while enjoying a lightweight and comfortable fit, making it perfect for outdoor wear.

Packability refers to how easily a garment can be compressed and stored in a small space, such as a backpack. A packable item is convenient for travel and outdoor activities, allowing you to carry it effortlessly when not in use. This feature is especially beneficial for hikers and travelers who need to maximize space and minimize weight.

Elastic binding is a stretchy material sewn around the edges of the vest to create a snug fit. It helps prevent cold air from entering and keeps the vest securely in place during movement. This design feature enhances comfort and allows for greater freedom of movement, making the vest suitable for various activities, from hiking to casual wear.

The combination of Ripstop Nylon, DWR finish, 800-fill down, packability, and elastic binding creates a versatile and high-performance vest. Together, they ensure durability, warmth, water resistance, and comfort, making it easier for you to enjoy your outdoor activities without worrying about the elements. This thoughtful design enhances your overall experience, allowing you to focus on your adventures.
