Right pick for customers building an active-use layering kit with vest options. The R1 Air construction prioritizes breathability over pure warmth, meaningful for runners, hikers, and ski tourers who want core warmth without overheating during exertion. Pairs with the R1 Air Jacket or Pullover as a layering system. The vest cut delivers freedom of movement that full-sleeve insulation can't match for active customers.
