Warmth, softness, stretch, and eco-conscious materials unite in your new favorite insulated vest. This is the best choice for versatility and comfort both on and off the mountain.
Sustainably crafted with recycled and bio-based materials.
The Shadow Insulated Vest combines function, stretch, and style that packs down for adventure. Built with Outdoor Research's proprietary VerticalX™ ECO SR, this insulation boasts the technical chops you need to stay outside in unfavorable weather, while being made from REPREVE® recycled polyester and bio-based Sorona®. A hidden pocket holds valuables close, while an insulated collar holds warmth closeby. With softness that you have to feel to believe, the Shadow Insulated Vest is truly the best choice for versatility and comfort both on and off the mountain.
More loft without the weight. Down-like softness. Recycled and renewable content.
Our new VerticalX™ Eco SR has the reliable warmth of VerticalX™ insulation, packed with even more loft, softness that feels like down feathers, and a new blend of sustainable materials. Low-density areas of REPREVE®, a recycled polyester, combine with high-density areas of Sorona®, a renewable plant-based fabric known for its durability. VerticalX™ Eco SR Insulation is just as breathable and stretchy as our best-selling synthetic insulation VerticalX™, we’ve just managed to add even more loft without adding any more weight – or bulk. Just as compressible as ever, this vertically-lapped technology still insulates the wearer even when wet.
