💢💢 Top 5 Down Vests of 2021 💢💢

👉 #1: Top Overall Pick: Patagonia Down Sweater Vest

Men's: https://alnk.to/deqDjoc

Women's: https://alnk.to/flpJ5bJ

This vest features 2.4 ounces of premium 800-fill down encased by a recycled polyester shell and weighs in at less than 10 ounces. It;Its offered in a variety of colors and shades, making it equally suitable for wearing around town as it is for wearing out in the backcountry.

What I like most about this vest is how roomy it is through the arms and the lack of excess bulk that many down vests come with.

What I don’t care for as much about the Patagonia Down Sweater Vest is how pricey it is at $180.

👉 #2: Top Budget Pick: REI Co-op 650 2.0

Men's: https://alnk.to/6xDQ2pI

Women's: https://alnk.to/aeRKDy4

The 2.0 is offered in both men’s and women’s styles. It’s stuffed with 650 fill power down which means less warmth for the weight than our overall pick, but REI upgraded its most recent iteration with square-shaped baffles and a roomier fit that adds loft to help keep the warmth in.

What I like most about the 650 2.0 down vest is that it’s crafted from Bluesign materials and RDS-certified down, which ensures the humane treatment of birds.

What I don’t care for as much about this product is the overall look — it’s not nearly as stylish-looking as comparable alternatives.

----

👉 #3: Best Lightweight Option: Arc’teryx Cerium LT

Men's: https://alnk.to/fwku42V

Women's: https://alnk.to/eZAd7CK

The Cerium LT features a blended layer of 850 down fill power and CoreLoft synthetic fibers, combining the best of both worlds — therefore, staying warm when wet while retaining its quick drying, lightweight nature. This vest comes with its own corded zipper pulls and stuff sack. Weighing in at just 5.8 ounces, it’s also the lightest down vest on this list.

What I like most about this vest is how Arc’teryx ingeniously utilized a technology called Down Composite Mapping to strategically place the down fibers in high moisture areas.

What I don’t care for as much about this vest is how expensive it is at $250, positioning this one on the costlier end of things.

----

👉 #4: Best Synthetic Down Vest: Patagonia Nano Puff

Men's: https://alnk.to/6Ttm06I

Women's: https://alnk.to/87SEROy

Patagonia designed the Nano Puff as a versatile, sleek, and affordable down vest option. This vest features highly advanced PrimaLoft Gold Eco insulation that makes for a great three season piece that layers well, is decently warm, and packs down small.

What I like most about the Patagonia Nano Puff Vest is its considerably slimmer-looking profile when compared to down alternatives in its class.

What I don’t care for about the Nano Puff is that it is considerably less warm than the real down vests on this list.

----

👉 #5: Best Winter Vest: Cotopaxi Fuego

Men's: https://alnk.to/apMvCqS

Women's: https://alnk.to/bP6zsXG

The Fuego features quilted 800-fill power down encased by DWR-treated 20-denier ripstop nylon. An adjustable drawcord hem serves to block out the cold by creating for a seal-like effect. The same concept was applied to the armholes and both are complimented by elastic binding edges.

What I like most about the Cotopaxi Fuego is that despite how warm it is, it’s still relatively lightweight at only 8 ounces.

What I don’t care for about this vest is how much the women’s version seems to differ from the men’s by design.
