Climbing a hillside meadow to photograph wildflowers keeps the pace slow and the air cool, which suits the Rolpa Eco Vest, a lightweight sleeveless fleece vest made from recycled polyester. Nepalese-inspired taping runs the full length of the zip, and the two-sided brushed fleece feels soft and resists pilling. Brushed tricot lines the zippered hand pockets, so a phone stays secure and cold hands find a cozy spot. What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“After a season of layering it over long sleeves on cool mornings, I stopped noticing it was there. The brushed fleece adds warmth through the core without crowding the sleeves underneath, and the whole vest stays light enough to forget about.”
