Details
A good down vest is like having roadside assistance for your car: When you break down in the middle of nowhere, you sure will be thankful you have it. You can throw it on under your shell when a cold front blows in on the mountain, wear it tuning skis in the fall, and sport it day and night around town. The Larry Vest has all the puffiness and warmth you’d expect from 600-fill down feathers but without the bulk. This packable vest has polyester ripstop fabric on the outside, a high collar that blocks wind, and European goose down to insulate your core.

The 2022 Larry 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 2022 Larry 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.
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.
High Loft Insulation
Greenloft, our proprietary lightweight,packable synthetic insulation, will keep you dry when wet and is made from 100 percent recycled polyester.
SpaceLoft™ Synthetic Down
SpaceLoft™ 80gm Synthetic Down Insulation was designed to maintain warmth in an extremely packable form and stay warm when wet where down may not be the best option
