Broke wind great super warm
Nothing to dislike about the vest I love how it breaks wind it’s a lb excellent insulator wore it the whole waterfowl season no rips or anything best part is the way the marsh camo wash I could wipe blood on the vest and you couldn’t even tell because of the camo then it washed out no problem great product

Wear constantly
This piece with a light base layer and a grinder fleece is a very versatile combo. I almost always wear the vest when wearing waders or bibs to help with strap pilling layers.

This vest was exactly what I wanted. It blocks the wind and it is the perfect layer or outer layer for cool days in the field. I really like the pockets in this vest. Looking forward to using it this fall when in Canada hunting.
