What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I like the Los Gatos Vest because it adds instant warmth without bulk. The high-pile fleece feels super soft, and the recycled materials are a nice bonus. It’s perfect for layering over a flannel or under a shell, and the hand pockets keep things cozy on colder days."We reach for the Patagonia Los Gatos Vest when crisp mornings and cool evenings call for a soft extra layer. Made with plush recycled high-pile fleece, it brings easy warmth to everyday walks, mountain-town errands, or moments spent relaxing after a day outside. The vest keeps our core toasty while letting our arms move freely, making it an ideal piece for transitional weather. A PFC-free DWR finish adds light protection when conditions shift, and the smooth recycled polyester trim gives the vest a clean look that pairs with just about anything. Two hand pockets keep small essentials close and fingers warm. For casual comfort that still aligns with the values of recycled materials and thoughtful design, this vest fits seamlessly into our daily layering routine.
