Why choose it

The Kamet Light Down Vest delivers exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio, making it an indispensable midlayer for alpine climbing, ski touring, and fast-and-light trekking.

• Ski touring and backcountry skiing under a shell or on its own during high-output ascents
• Trekking and hiking in cool, variable mountain weather
• Everyday cold-weather wear for urban commutes and travel
