Overview
Built for hunters who need adaptable warmth without adding bulk, this insulated vest works as a mid- to outer-layer piece in changing conditions. It uses 100 grams of Primaloft Gold Cross Core insulation and a 100% micro ripstop polyester shell, with a PFC-free DWR treatment for added weather protection. The low-profile design is meant to layer easily into an existing system, and it pairs well with the XKG Series jackets listed in the product details. Zippered hand pockets and stretch elastic bound armholes add practical function for long glassing sessions and colder hunts.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- As a vest, it adds core warmth while leaving the arms uncovered, so it is best used as part of a layering system rather than as a standalone cold-weather piece.
- The 100 grams of Primaloft Gold Cross Core insulation is aimed at added warmth, which can make it less suitable for high-output activity when minimal insulation is preferred.
- Its micro ripstop polyester construction and DWR treatment support layering and light weather resistance, but it is not a substitute for a full outer shell in sustained precipitation.
- The design is described as a mid to outer layer, so fit and compatibility with other XKG layers should be considered when planning your system.
