Our Fuego Vest is a fantastic blend of responsibly sourced, water-resistant down and a sleek design. It serves as both an ideal outer layer and a great midlayer. It's perfect for those in-between weather days when a full jacket isn't necessary. It also works wonders as a core-warming layer under a shell while skiing. The vest features an adjustable drawcord at the hem, two zippered hand pockets, and two interior stash pockets. The latest version has an updated fit, offering more room in the hips, chest, and waist for enhanced comfort and freedom of movement. Features include an elastic binding at the armholes, and it can be packed into its internal pocket. The specs are impressive: 20D giant-ripstop nylon with a DWR finish, 800-fill RDS-certified, water-resistant down, and a 20D giant-ripstop nylon lining. It weighs just 8oz (227g). The down is responsibly sourced, meeting the Responsible Down Standard to ensure ethical treatment of animals. This vest isn't just for winter; it's great from fall to spring and even on cool summer nights camping in the mountains. Plus, it's lightweight and easy to stow in its internal pocket whenever you're not using it.
How to use: Wear the Fuego vest on its own during mild weather or layer it under a shell jacket when skiing. You can store small items like keys or cards in the zippered hand pockets and interior stash pockets. When it's not in use, simply pack it into its internal pocket for easy storage. Things to note: Avoid sharp objects that could tear the nylon material. Don't overstuff the pockets to maintain the vest's shape. Maintenance advice: Follow the care instructions on the label. Generally, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Let it air dry to keep the down fluffy. If it loses its loft, you can gently shake it to restore it.
