Super Down LT Vest | Verde

DESCRIPTION

Best Use: Packable Warmth

The Super Down LT combines our legendary Quixdown insulation with an all-new durable, matte face fabric, and updated styling for a significant update over our previous designs. The fabric is lighter, quieter, and more packable, while both the durability and tear strength increased by 50%. The redesigned baffle structure increases loft and warmth throughout the vest, while the fit is improved for standalone wear and layering.

Unlike typical down insulation, that use a shiny face fabric, the Super Down LT features a dull, matte finish, so whether you choose it in a camouflage pattern or solid color, it’s ideal for close encounters while hunting. Super Down LT’s fabric beads water and resists saturation thanks to the K-DWR water resistant treatment. The fabric takes on very little moisture and dries quickly after extreme use.

The Super Down LT is sized with a mid-layer fit, so it comfortably layers over a base layer and mid-layer fleece, yet it’s trim enough to layer under our rain gear in the same size. The vest features a new two-stage packability system. It self-stows in the right-hand pocket, with enough room to also stow the Super Down LT Pant. In this configuration it doubles as a comfortable camp pillow. If pack space is limited, a secondary cinch can be used to compress the vest to half the stowed size.
