Very Warm
This is my second Patagonia down product and I love them. I get very cold easily and this does the trick. Also, Altrec's customer service is excellent.
ultra light
This product can keep your core warm yet it's weight is very little. Wear it over or under to adjust to current weather. The vest also is very water repellent and looks great over regular clothes.
