Columbia Powder Lite II Vest - Collegiate Navy, Size L - Men's Insulated Vest with Omni-Heat™ Reflective Lining

Cold weather layering often means choosing between bulky insulation and freedom of movement. The Columbia Powder Lite II Vest solves this by combining lightweight warmth with unrestricted arm mobility, making it ideal for hiking, casual wear, or as a mid-layer under a shell. Its water-resistant shell and wind-resistant design keep you comfortable in variable conditions, while the Omni-Heat™ reflective lining retains body heat without adding weight.

Who is it for

Active men who need core warmth without overheating. Whether you're on a brisk trail, running errands in chilly weather, or layering for a winter commute, this vest provides the insulation you need with the mobility you want. The Active Fit allows room for a base layer but stays streamlined under a jacket.

Main features

• Omni-Heat™ reflective lining: silver dots reflect body heat back to you, increasing warmth by up to 20% while remaining breathable.

• Storm-Lite DP II shell: 100% polyester fabric that is water-resistant and wind-resistant to shield you from light rain and gusts.
• Full-zip front with stand-up collar: seals in warmth and allows easy ventilation when needed.
• Two zippered hand pockets: secure storage for essentials like phone, keys, or gloves.
