Black Yak MAIWA Casual Down Vest Men's

Named after yaks that inhabit plateaus above 11,000 feet in altitude, the Black Yak Men's MAIWA Casual Down Vest likewise thrives in frigid environments and extreme alpine zones with its 750 fill down insulation. Lofty down clusters prevent precious body heat from escaping when you're skiing, hiking, and traveling in sub freezing temperatures, all without weighing you down with bulk or taking up excess room in your pack. This versatile piece layers over baselayers in cold, dry conditions and easily zips under a waterproof shell in the alpine. The nylon ripstop shell retains lightweight durability while repelling passing showers and snow flurries with its DWR finish. Another welcome addition is the insulated hood, which provides the option of cinching tightly during nasty winds or removing it entirely in fair weather. For daily use and outdoor adventures where storage is essential, a variety of zippered pockets harmoniously secure must have items.
