What’s that? You don’t own a down vest? Oh my. You’re truly missing out. A good quality down vest, like the Laurel Vest, is the perfect layering essential for chilly days. A vest doesn’t overheat like a down jacket, but it adds more warmth than a thin midlayer.

The 2021 Laurel Vest Features
50/50 Inbounds/Out-Of-Bounds
Conditions dependent, you split your time pretty evenly between the ski resort and the backcountry, which means you need gear that's tough and waterproof enough for the pounding of tram laps and storm skiing inbounds but won't sweat out on a climb on those days you decide to earn your turns. Here, we opt for fabrics and features that do double duty, like jacket powder skirts you can zip out or bib pants made for versatile pursuits.

The 2021 Laurel Vest Features
S/G Lite
S/G Lite stands for Stash ’n Go Lite. This proprietary material by Intuitive offers a balance between thin fibers and long-lasting durability. The idea is that we’re balancing packability and lightweight fibers with a durable material like ripstop or taffeta. Products made with this fabric are wind-resistant and sturdy against the elements, but they’re also light and packable.
High Performance DWR
We dare you to go stand in a shower or the next rainstorm with your favorite Flylow jacket on. See how the water molecules roll off the shell fabric? That’s due to our high-performance Durable Water Repellent, a polymer coating added to fabric that makes it hydrophobic, meaning moisture beads up and rolls off, like marbles on glass.
Responsible Down Standard Certified
Responsible Down Standard, or RDS, means every feather used in our 800- or 600-fill down insulation has been third-party certified for safety standards, ensuring that all geese and ducks are raised by certified farms that meet the highest levels of animal welfare compliance and supply chain traceability.
