Unloading the car, hauling gear to a campsite and raising the tent leave little room for bulky sleeves, which is where the Tarcho Vest comes in as a midweight sleeveless fleece vest in recycled polyester. Contrast stretch binding and a woven chest pocket bring in the five colors of Tibetan prayer flags, the inspiration behind the Tarcho name. The brushed fleece adds warmth through the core and resists pilling, while two zippered side pockets and a snap-closure chest pocket keep essentials secure. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"A winter of slow walks with this vest under a shell taught me it adds core warmth without crowding the arms. The brushed fleece sat flat beneath the outer layer, so I never felt bunched up when I reached or turned."
