User Review: Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Vest

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Vest
Above: The current Sub Zero Vest, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Fabric: Polyester Z Rip
Fill: 650
Price Paid: $79.99

I bought it on sale for 80$, so for a quality down vest, it was pretty cheap. It was much too warm to wear while backpacking in 20º weather with snow on the ground, so I'd say it stands up to the insulation test.

It can be a bit tricky to figure out how to fold it up to fit in the included stuff sack. It's awesome for backpacking! Reinforced shoulders, a stuff sack, and light weight combine to make this the king of backpacking winter vests (on a budget). It kept me warm through the night while wearing it bundled up inside of my 0º synthetic bag in a 3-season tent. Nice even fill, good and thick.
