What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "This vest quickly became a go-to layer when I need something warm but not bulky. The hood's snug fit is great when the breeze picks up, and the lightweight design makes it easy to pack and layer-especially when I'm moving between climates." We wear the Light Gust Hooded Vest when the weather's in-between and the layers need to adapt. Designed by Patagonia for transitional days and light travel, this vest delivers warmth with flexibility, thanks to four-way stretch polyester taffeta that's made from 70% recycled fibers and treated with a PFAS-free DWR finish to repel light moisture. Insulated with 60g of Thermogreen(R) recycled polyester, this vest traps heat without the bulk. The boxy, relaxed fit offers freedom to layer underneath or over top, and the three-piece hood and elasticized armholes seal in warmth on breezy days. Hidden-snap hand pockets keep essentials close, and its Fair Trade Certified(TM) construction ensures every stitch supports better working conditions. Whether we're road-tripping, exploring shoulder-season trails, or commuting through cool mornings, this vest keeps our core cozy and our pack light.
