Uncompadgre Vest

[Tauntohawk]

Trying to figure how warm this piece is, and how breathable it is for insulation. Just get a feel for where it would fit in I don't have the ability to try it on anywhere.

Any user comments or you can PM me impressions. Thanks

If your going to use it for high activity i would say you will sweat.I have the jacket and would not hike hard in it it is very windproof not so breathable.If your looking for core warmth while hiking hard i would go with a soft shell vest or that Kenai jacket or Patagonia nano air vest.

Not necessarily looking for something to hike in just want to get a feel for how heavy or light a piece it is. I have a kratos primaloft jacket which is a great chill buster but certainly not a heavy piece of insulation and not very windproof.

Was thinking vest instead of the jacket as I can layer under a softshell and also use tree stand hunting in a IWOM suite.

I've got one and used it a bit this past season as another layer for treestand hunting. It's pretty warm to me and I don't think I'd move much in it. For sitting and being used as a layering piece it isn't too bad.

Can't comment on the vest but i have the jacket and absolutely love it. Stops the wind. Will keep the water off of you for a while. Nice and toasty. I bought mine mainly for glassing. Id love to use it for whitetail but im not sure it is quiet enough. I feel like i would need a little wind to get away with drawing.

I would plan to size down and layer it under a softshell or my wooltimate jacket for whitetail

I may do the same. I could probably even put my springer over the top because i think the arms are a much quieter fabric.

I picked my uncompaghre vest up in a small to use as a layer piece under all of my medium outerwear. Specifically in the early season under a rain jacket.

I have used it in the late season here in Kansas sitting in a treestand with a halstead fleece under and a sanctuary jacket over. I'm naturally a cold person but this was a warm set up.

I tried the springer over my jacket and ther is too much of the louder fabric still exposed. I guess i would need a full layer over it.
