Men’s Down Vests & Puffer Vests

Our men’s down vests are designed for serious warmth in cold conditions. They use high-quality, responsibly sourced down to deliver insulation that’s lightweight, breathable and easy to pack.

For milder conditions, we also offer men’s light down vests that deliver comfort and versatility in a more streamlined design.

Men’s Insulated Vests

Synthetic insulated vests offer warmth that performs in damp or variable conditions. Unlike down, synthetic fill retains heat even when wet, making these vests a practical choice for hiking or everyday wear in unpredictable weather. They’re lightweight, quick-drying and easy to care for. Our range also includes men’s light insulated vests designed for layering without overheating in warmer climates or high-output activities.
