The Filson Ultralight vest is a lightweight packable layer that provides warmth, wet or dry. It blocks the wind, adds warmth worn alone, and is low-bulk for wearing under a rain jacket. The 1.5-oz. Cordura nylon shell fabric has ripstop reinforcing for strength that belies its weight. A second layer over the shoulders adds durability and weather resistance. This ultralight fabric is descended from the material that was developed for parachutes during WWII and has revolutionized outdoor gear ever since. The 60g PrimaLoft Gold insulation was engineered to closely mimic the softness and compressibility of goose down, while retaining 98% of its insulating ability when wet.

Andrew ★★★★★

The wind was cutting through everything I wore yesterday, but this thing stopped it dead while still feeling like I had nothing on. It’s so low-bulk that I forgot it was under my rain jacket, and it kept me warm through a damp, chilly morning.

Joshua W. ★★★★★

This vest packs into its own pocket, which is perfect for unpredictable weather. It cut the wind completely during my morning commute, yet compresses small enough to fit in my glovebox.

Victoria ★★★★★

Took this on a blustery hike and was amazed how much warmth that thin 1.5-oz. fabric traps—no wind cut through at all. Packs down tiny in my daypack, too.
