Lightweight weather protection - Patagonia Houdini Vest - Mens

Picked up the Houdini vest to supplement my rain shell for a week-long bikepacking trip through the Rockies. The vest provided just enough protection from light rain and wind to keep me comfortable while pedaling away on constant climbs. The ability to easily unzip the vest coupled with not having sleeves made it much more efficient to dump heat; meanwhile zipping up the vest trapped just enough extra heat to take the bite off the cold. Fit is somewhat slim, but loose enough to layer a fleece or similar underneath. When not in use, the vest packs down into its own chest pocket and squishes away to nothing in the palm of your hand. Good stuff!
