Overview
Built for cool, damp conditions, this fleece vest adds a practical layer of warmth without restricting movement. The STORMFLEECE Plus construction is designed to stretch with you and help shed light moisture during unexpected showers or steady drizzle. Shoulder overlays add protection where pack straps can cause wear, making it a sensible choice for time spent under a pack or moving between camp, shop, and field. It offers a straightforward balance of comfort, mobility, and weather resistance for days when a full jacket feels like too much.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Water-resistance is geared toward unexpected showers and persistent drizzles, so it is not a substitute for a fully waterproof outer layer in sustained wet weather.
- As a fleece vest, it adds core warmth while leaving the arms uncovered, which may require layering when temperatures drop further.
- The abrasion-resistant shoulder overlays are useful under pack straps, but they also add structure in those areas compared with a plain fleece vest.
- Its comfort and stretch are tailored to active wear, which may make it less ideal if you want a more insulated, bulkier cold-weather layer.
