Down Sweater Vest - Women's

PFC-free DWR coating means that the material is treated to repel water without using harmful perfluorinated chemicals. This is important because it helps keep you dry during outdoor activities while being more environmentally friendly. Choosing gear with this coating supports sustainable practices.

The 800-fill rating indicates a high level of insulation, meaning the down is very effective at trapping heat while remaining lightweight. "100% virgin goose down" ensures that the feathers are ethically sourced from geese that have not been used in other products. RDS certification guarantees humane treatment of the geese, so you can feel good about your purchase.

Elastic-bound armholes are designed with elastic material around the edges, creating a snug fit. This feature helps prevent cold air from entering the vest, keeping you warmer during outdoor activities. It also allows for better movement, making it comfortable to wear.

Lofty down fill refers to the fluffy and airy quality of the down insulation. This type of fill traps more air, providing superior warmth without adding extra weight. It’s ideal for outdoor clothing because it keeps you warm without feeling bulky, allowing for greater mobility.

Zippered pockets are essential because they securely hold your belongings, such as keys, snacks, or a phone, preventing them from falling out during activities. This added security allows you to focus on your adventure without worrying about losing your essentials.

The combination of PFC-free DWR coating, high-quality down insulation, elastic-bound armholes, lofty fill, and zippered pockets creates a product that is warm, lightweight, comfortable, and practical. These features work together to keep you dry, warm, and organized, enhancing your overall outdoor experience and allowing you to enjoy your activities to the fullest.
