ROUTEBURN PRO INS VEST W

I’ve been wearing this vest on chilly morning runs, and the wind protection is a lifesaver without making me feel clammy. The 20D ripstop fabric holds up well against brush on the trail, and it packs down small enough to stash in my belt. Perfect layering piece for those in-between temperatures.

I’ve been wearing this vest on brisk morning hikes and the wind resistance is noticeably better than my old fleece — no more cold spots. The recycled ripstop fabric feels surprisingly light but holds up well against drizzle. Exactly what I needed for those unpredictable spring trails.

I was nervous about getting chilly on the morning hike, but the recycled ripstop fabric handled the wind perfectly without feeling stiff. The fit is trim enough to layer under a shell, and I didn't overheat even when the sun came out. It's quickly become my go-to for cold starts.
