The Patagonia Women's Down Sweater Vest utilizes ethically sourced 800 fill power goose down to deliver reliable and lightweight core warmth for a variety of cold weather activities. A durable water repellent finish offers weather-resistance.
Due to the high loft and compressibility of the 800 fill-power European goose down the Down Sweater Vest can be packed into its own interior stretch mesh stuff-sack pocket (with reinforced carabiner clip-in loop) and pulled from your pack or a climbing harness when you need extra warmth. And don't worry about insulation migration; the quilted construction of the Down Sweater Vest keeps Patagonia's Traceable Down in place and stabilized. Traceable Down is verified by an independent third-party organization to be ethically sourced from geese that are not live-plucked or used in foie gras production.
The extremely lightweight ripstop windproof shell fabric in the Down Sweater Vest has high tear-strength and is treated with Patagonia's Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish for increased weather resistance. And the material is environmentally friendly as well produced with 100% recycled content. Elastic binding at the armholes combines with the adjustable drawcord hem to seal in warmth against your core and keep drafts out. Two zippered handwarmer pockets with water-resistant zippers are ready to warm chilly hands and stow small essential items.
With a regular/slim fit that allows it be worn either as a mid-layer or as an exterior layer in chilly-but-not-too-cold weather the Patagonia Women's Down Sweater Vest is available in a variety of color and size options.
