{"title":"Down Vests","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDown Vests: Core Warmth Without Arm Restriction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA down vest provides the warmth where it matters most — the core — without the weight and bulk of a full jacket. By insulating the torso while leaving the arms free, a vest allows full range of motion for climbing, paddling, and technical movement while maintaining the core temperature that drives blood flow to the extremities. It's the layering piece that experienced outdoor athletes reach for when a full jacket is too warm but no insulation is too cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClimbers belaying at the base of routes in the Yosemite Valley, kayakers waiting for their turn on a river in the Scottish Highlands, and trail runners at high-altitude aid stations in the Alps all rely on down vests as the versatile insulation layer that bridges the gap between active and stationary. The vest goes on when you stop moving and comes off when you start again — a simple system that keeps you comfortable across the full range of activity levels in a mountain day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDown Vest Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFill power\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600–800 fill power for most outdoor use; higher fill power for colder conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackability\u003c\/strong\u003e: Most vests pack into a chest pocket or stuff sack; lighter than a full jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slim fit for layering under a shell; relaxed fit for standalone wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePockets\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand pockets and chest pockets for storage; some models include internal pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater-resistant down\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hydrophobic treatment maintains loft in damp conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair your down vest with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rove-wear-softshell-jackets\"\u003esoftshell jacket\u003c\/a\u003e for a versatile active layering system, or wear under a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rove-wear-hardshell-jackets\"\u003ehardshell\u003c\/a\u003e for maximum cold-weather protection.
