The Arctica Featherlyte PackVest

The new Arctica Featherlyte down vest is a fresh take on a classic goose down vest. Down vests are super versatile worn as outwear or layered and can go from the office to the race course. We call them featherlyte because they weigh less than 7 ounces and are highly packable. The Featherlyte goose down vest utilizes 650-fill power ethically sourced goose down, just as all Arctica down jackets and vests. Narrow goose down baffles and a trim “racer fit” keep it light and fast with a less puffy, lower profile look. You can easily layer the PackVest with other jackets or a shell for extra warmth. The Featherlyte goose down vest a great option for any occasion.

The secret to the Featherlyte goose down vest is that it is convertible. Pack the vest into its internal zippered pocket and it converts to a convenient travel neck pillow. This internal back pocket also doubles as a secure hidden pocket for personal items like your passport or money. Perfect for your next trip.

Additionally, a center front two-way zipper allows for infinite adjustments. Reflective trim and logos add safety.  An internal back zipper pocket and zipper hand warmer pockets keep your small personal items securely inside. The Duralite nylon shell is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) to shed light moisture.

The Featherlyte goose down vest is available in four colors for men, six colors for women and five colors for youth. Kids down vests this special are hard to find but not at Arctica, the Down Destination!
