Packable Puffy Vest (Men's)

A packable puffy vest fills the exact gap between your base layer and a full jacket when you stop moving on the trail. The Alpine Folk Packable Puffy Vest uses 700-fill goose down (RDS certified) in a 20D ripstop nylon shell that weighs under 160g and packs into the inner chest pocket. Warm without the arm restriction of a full jacket.

Ethylene stitching prevents down migration. Two hand pockets. One internal stash pocket. Hem drop provides full coverage when bending. Elastic cuffs at the armhole opening.

We wore this on the Wonderland Trail in October — sub-freezing at camp, moving again by dawn. The 155g (size M) made sense both ways: warm enough stopped, packable enough moving. The baffled construction keeps loft consistent across the chest even after being stuffed 40+ times.

Best for: fastpackers and alpine hikers who stop and start frequently and need core warmth without a full jacket.
