New R2? fabric provides lightweight core warmth without excess bulk for mountain pursuits.

On cold mountain days the R2? Vest turns agonizing over warmth-versus-weight into a no-brainer. Its unique variable-fiber structure updated with a matte finish and greater warmth ensures optimal breathability while offering toasty low-bulk core insulation. Stretchy R1? (now made with 60%-recycled polyester) lines the inner collar for next-to-skin comfort. The vest has a new easy-to-use regular-coil zipper front welded-in zippers on the hand pockets and forward-set shoulder seams for pack-wearing comfort. 100% recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program. Slim feminine fit with contouring along the sides and armholes.
