Our bestselling multi-activity softshell vest is back, now built with a recycled fabric and offering unbeatable breathability and wind resistance without the bulk of sleeves.

Lightweight, packable, and incredibly versatile, this all-mountain vest is at home whether you're running a windy ridgeline, ski touring, or scaling a rockface.
