The vest version of Patagonia's iconic Down Sweater — same lightweight, windproof construction in a silhouette that delivers core warmth without sleeve bulk. The right piece for layering under shells in deep winter, wearing over a button-down in shoulder seasons, and the cool-weather rotation where arms-free works best.
Built from a 1.2-oz 20-denier NetPlus® 100% postconsumer recycled nylon ripstop shell made from recycled fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution, with a DWR finish made without intentionally added PFAS. Insulated with 800-fill-power 100% Responsible Down Standard down certified by Control Union (CU 880272).
Standout features:
- 800-fill-power RDS-certified down — high warmth-to-weight from responsibly-sourced down
- NetPlus® 100% recycled nylon shell — durable downproof ripstop from reclaimed fishing nets
- Center-front zipper — interior storm flap and zipper garage at chin
- Two zippered handwarmer welt pockets — on-seam construction with clean lines
- Self-stuffing chest pocket — interior zippered pocket converts to stuffsack with carabiner clip-in loop, plus two interior drop-in pockets
- Repair patch included — for quick fixes on the go
Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory in Vietnam, meaning the people who built it earned a premium for their labor. Fabric is bluesign® approved. RDS certification demonstrates demand for better animal welfare practices across the down and feather supply chain.
Right pick for customers who want serious Patagonia down construction in a vest cut — daily cold-weather commuting, shoulder-season layering, and active outdoor use where full sleeves trap heat. The vest cut delivers core warmth without restricting arm movement.
