One of my favorites - Mountain Hardwear Ratio Down Vest - Mens

This is my third down vest and it might be my favorite! I have a higher fill and warmer Cabelas vest, but it's a little too bulky to wear around town. I used it for camping and snowshoeing and wear it on top and with various layers underneath. I also have a Rab Microlight that I love because it's a thinner, tighter fitting, and more stylish to wear around town. It is fairly warm but too snug to wear any heavy layering under it. But this Mountain Hardwear is my favorite because it's in between both of my others. It's slimmer fitting that most bulky down vest (my Cabelas), but yet almost as warm. It is quit as slim fitting as the Rab, which is great because I can wear a fairly heavy layer under it, but it is slim enough that I can also wear it by itself and looks great, and can be worn under a jacket or parka. You can't go wrong with the quality of Mountain Hardwear, and at this price it's a good deal compared to other vest of lesser down fill.
