Women's Puffer Vest Expedition-Tested Design:

• Insulation: Made with Primaloft® insulation. Primaloft® is made with the planet in mind - providing durable, sustainable performance and all-weather insulation for more than 20 years. 
• Shell Fabric: Water retardant shell (tested to the ISO 4920 standard). 
• All-season suitability. 
• Lightweight construction.
• Quick-drying.
• Removable hood, so you can adapt the puffer to the conditions or the style you're looking for. 
• When pack size matters, it offers ultimate compact packability - without losing its shape. We usually pack ours into the hoodie of the Puffer.
• Two secure zipped hand pockets with toggles for easy access.
• Adjustable waistband to trap warmth for total insulation. 
• Double front zip, so you can zip up with extra room around the waist or hips - perfect for a little more space around the hips, or for accommodating waist bags, belt bags, and tackle bags. 
• Adjustable toggle on the hood to trap warmth in cold conditions. 
• Designed in the high mountains, warmth-tested in winter in the Alps, and style tested to be a true 'for everywhere' favorite.
• See the Features & Technology tab below for even more information about this puffer.
• Layering tip: Days out in the field often start cold, warm up through the day, and then cool off again at night. A great layering tip is to wear a BUGTech+ Stretch shirt as your base layer, then for cooler climates the Women's Long Sleeve Serengeti Shirt over that, with the Women's Packable Puffer Vest as the key warm layer. Remove or add these three layers to suit conditions. If mornings start out more warm than cold then only wear the BUGTech+ Stretch shirt or the Serengeti T-shirt - with the puffer over that.

• Do not bleach or use fabric softeners.
• Do not dry clean.
• Do not twist nor wring dry.
• Wash separately.
• Keep away from fire.

Primaloft® Insulation:

• We selected Primaloft® as the ultimate insulation layer for the Packable Puffer Vest - and we believe nothing comes to close to the versatility and warm of Primaloft®.
• Primaloft® was first developed for use by the United States Army as a water-resistant, synthetic alternative to down. The issue with down is that it loses its warming efficacy when wet, which is a major factor to consider which outer layer is best to wear when outdoors.
• The ultra-soft microfibers used to make Primaloft® deliver excellent thermal efficiency.
• Primaloft® technology also provides a high level of warmth without bulk. This is another reason why we selected it - it is lightweight and packable.
• Where Primaloft® is truly in a class of its own is in how it behaves when it gets wet. Unlike down which gets sodden, loses shape and crucially does not provide warmth when wet - Primaloft® is water-repellent and maintains 98% of its warmth, even in wet conditions.
• Primaloft® uses industry-first recycled binder fibers which give the insulation structural integrity and stability, delivering the highest-performing 100% recycled synthetic insulation. This makes it planet-first too.
• Due to the water-repellency action of Primaloft®, the Packable Puffer Vest will also dry faster than down and other jackets.
• Primaloft® is bluesign®, Global Recycled Standard, and Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified.

Shell Fabric:

• For the ultimate shell fabric we selected a high performing, yet beautifully soft to the touch, matte finish 100% Polyamide fabric.
• The shell fabric was engineered to work with the Primaloft® insulation layer to repel water. While not waterproof, the shell fabric is water retardant and tested to the ISO 4920 standard. We have been very impressed during extensive field tests - including in light rain - how well the shell fabric and the insulation layer work together to keep you warm.

Say no to plastic philosophy:

• Packaged in a bag made from recyclable paper as part of our 'say no to plastic' environmental philosophy.
