M's Barrows Vest

About this find

The Barrows Vest from Big Agnes is built around your core, so your torso stays warm and comfortable through a long day outdoors. Its outer layer is designed to resist water from the outside, while a breathable membrane on the inside helps draw moisture away from your body and trap heat close to you.

The vest uses a body-mapped combination of recycled Pinneco materials, placed to support breathability and easy packing. That makes it simple to toss into a bag when you head out for a long day, and it's a versatile layer you can wear from the weekend through the work week.

For a relaxed weekend look, try the vest over a cotton tee with straight-leg jeans. For a more polished day, layer it over a button-up shirt with chinos. Either way, it's an easy piece to wear from the trail to everyday errands. A light long-sleeve base layer is another useful option underneath when your plans take you outside early.
