"The First Light Hybrid Vest has become my go-to layer for active days in the mountains. The PrimaLoft® insulation keeps me warm without overheating, and the merino wool panels make it super breathable when I’m moving fast. It’s lightweight, packable, and ready for anything."

Easily stained

This is a very comfortable vest. That said, this vest probably spends more time in the washer than actually wearing it, because like some car seats, even water stains the front, which is a soft outer shell. I have even tried putting a new DWR finish on it. It doesn't matter. It still stains quite easily. IT is a far better mid layer. That way you can keep it from staining.

Warm, but not too warm

I bought this for my husband to run and fatbike in the winter, it is great for those endurance workouts where you sweat a lot, yet need to keep warm.
