The Patagonia 'Bivy' Down Vest is warm, but slightly heavy. The nylon is soft and seems durable. Waterproofing is only on the shoulders and collar, but I think it will be excellent for the chilly, dry days in fall and spring. The zipper on a couple different versions I tried on was a little weak and occasionally came undone from the bottom. The quality of the Patagonia 'Bivy' Down Vest is true Patagonia style. It fits and feels amazing. I'm a Med and it fits perfect.

Every climber, skier, and lover of the mountains needs a Patagonia 'Bivy' Down Vest in their closet. The comforting warmth of European goose down in this casual and everyday vest takes the bite out of chilly mornings spent chopping wood and cold, fall afternoons passed while sitting on rappel. Basic, earth-tone colors and the snap-button front closure give a nod to core mission of all of Patagonia 'Bivy' Down Vest pieces: simple living.
