Budget Down Vest - UPDATE

Update on the Lands End 600 Fill Down Vest

Picture
I took my Lands End down vest on my last trip, which was an overnight at Red River Gorge.  The temps I used the vest in were mid 30s to 50s.  For this trip I paired the vest with my Patagonia down sweater at night.  I ended up using the vest as a pillow.

Overall, I am quite happy with this vest.  It packed well and helped keep me warm with layering.  The fit and quality seem good (I will give a long term report in the future).  Are there other vests that are lighter, warmer, etc...Sure!  But, I think for the price, this vest is hard to beat.

The price on these vests were so good I decided to get two. The second was for a DYI project to make a vest for my dog!  So far it's working great!
