First lite solitude vs Sitka kelvin aerolite VEST

[Highvoltage1]

Looking for feedback on these two vests? I’m looking for an insulated piece to wear under my puffy for additional core warmth. I need something packable but warm. I’d love to hear some opinions or reviews on these two, or any other that make the cut. I picked up and eberlestock awhile back but the neck was sooo stiff I couldn’t bend forward. Thanksin advance.

There is nothing lightweight or packable about the solitude vest. It is a piece designed for stand hunting whitetail.

The sitka vest is light and warm.

FLs Tempest vest might better fit your need? It’s lightly insulated and wind proof.

First Lite Core vest is what you seek if you don't need wind proofing IMO

FL Source Vest is what I would use. The Sitka Ambient Vest would be another to look at. The Ambient is very light and packable but the wind will go through it. But as a layering piece under windproof garments I think it works great. The source vest is also very packable, quiet, and has more insulation.
