Men's Merino Wool Heavyweight Vest

That perfect window between jacket weather and shirtsleeve weather — this vest was made for it.

There's a moment on the trail when you're warm enough to ditch the outer layer but not ready to go without something. The Men's Merino Wool Heavyweight Vest lives in that moment. Core warmth, full shoulder mobility, and merino wool's natural temperature regulation doing exactly what it was born to do.

Built on a 380 g/m² Ponte De Roma double-knit construction, this isn't a lightweight layering piece — it's a serious mid-layer you can wear from the tree stand to the trailhead to the drive home without changing. The yoked shoulder seams are offset to sit clear of your pack straps, so it plays nicely under a backpack all day. The YKK semi-auto locking zipper won't slip open on the descent. The zipper garage keeps the hardware away from your chin.

And because it's merino, it's naturally odor-resistant, soft against skin, and machine washable. No excuses not to pack it.
