Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Vest - Men's Black, M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I throw this vest into my pack year-round because it weighs almost nothing but adds noticeable warmth when temps dip. The 800-fill down lofts quickly on breaks, and the recycled ripstop holds up well for its weight. I like that it layers cleanly under a shell without feeling bulky.""We count on the Ghost Whisperer Vest when we want warmth without the weight penalty—on brisk trail mornings, alpine approaches, and shoulder-season hikes where conditions shift fast. Its 800-fill down warms our core quickly, giving us the added insulation we need to stay comfortable through early starts or cooling afternoon breezes. Lightweight and easy to layer, it pairs effortlessly with baselayers and shells, keeping us moving freely without overheating. Built from recycled ripstop nylon, the vest balances durability with a barely-there feel, offering protection for repeated pack-ins and quick transitions. The full-zip design lets us regulate heat on the move, while zippered hand pockets secure small essentials. When the day warms, the entire vest compresses into its own pocket, ready to disappear into a pack or clip to a harness. Adjustable hem details seal in warmth, supporting a reliable, compact system for three-season adventures."
