PRELIGHT 3IN1 JKT W

The snap-in insulated vest is the key reason I bought this, and it delivers—easy to pop out when I work up a sweat hiking, but secure enough to keep the chill off during breaks.

I’ve been wearing this jacket through windy spring hikes and the Primaloft vest keeps me warm without adding bulk. The shell handled a sudden downpour during my morning run and I stayed completely dry. It’s nice having one jacket that adapts to changing weather so easily.

The vest snaps in without any fiddling, and the shell’s breathability kept me comfortable on a brisk trail run. I wore just the outer layer in a drizzle and stayed totally dry, then added the vest when the wind picked up.
