Waas LT Down Vest packs light, keeps warm
The Waas LT ALLIED Down Vest pairs a recycled ripstop shell with 600-fill ALLIED goose down built for a normal winter day, whether that's a few runs on the hill or an afternoon errand run in town. The lighter LT build features lower down volume and smaller baffles than a standard down piece, trading a small amount of raw warmth for a vest that actually earns its place in a bag instead of just a closet.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I keep this rolled up in the bottom of my pack all season, and it barely takes up more room than a water bottle. The second the sun drops behind the ridge, it's on."
