Mission Workshop Mission Vest

Versatile enough for three-season wear, the Mission Vest features a environmentally friendly PFC-free C0 DWR (durable water repellent) coating which sheds light rain, dries quickly and provides reliable comfort while adventuring. This hardworking, lightweight layer is built with an ultralight, technical nylon textile manufactured in Italy, and featuring PrimaLoft 40g Gold Insulation, YKK zippers, a low-profile fit, a soft microfiber neck lining for increased comfort and high compressibility. The Mission Vest can be worn as a standalone midlayer, or is sleek enough to be layered underneath outerwear for extra warmth on chilly days. Pack it into its own pocket for easy stowing on the go.
