+ Performance Softshell + Windproof and Rain-Factor™ Water Resistant Technology + Sherpa Lined for Extra Warmth + Zipper Hand and Chest Pockets + Adjustable Toggle Waist + Great for Layering
Built to be that perfect mid layer or stand alone as outwear on those cool mornings with warm afternoons. The Performance Knit SherpaShell exterior is Windproof and has Rain-Factor™ Water Resistant Technology to cut the breeze and shed the water in less than ideal conditions. Sherpa Lining is not only comfortable but provides extra warmth and insulation. The high standing collar and adjustable toggle waist help lock out the wind. Zippered chest and hand pockets provide ample storage for whatever you bring without worry of it falling out.
At first I did not think I would like the collar....but got in cold weather (6F degrees) and it was a blessing. I lived in this vest for 10 days straight.
I like this vest...... very warm, comfortable fit, good pockets (altho I don't like zippers on hand pockets as a general rule...and that applies here as well to other outdoor clothing), like the drawstrings at the waist (or tail) and sizing is accurate.
I wish the main zipper was a little heavier, but it is functional and I have had no problems with the zipper. I also wish it had an internal zippered pocket.....instead of zippered had pockets.
Overall....a very nice vest....and the price is right.

I wore all Habit apparel and gear for the past two weeks in northwest Alaska on a grizzly bear and moose hunt. The temperatures were in the range of 40* -60* and it rained about 60% of the time. I was very pleased with all of the gear from Habits base layer all the way to the trapper jacket and pant. The Habit rain gear kept me dry the whole time. The vest was also the bomb a very solid piece of gear.
