Overview
Built for layering, this insulated vest adds warmth without much bulk, making it a practical choice when conditions call for an extra barrier between a base layer and outerwear. The 100 grams of Primaloft Gold Cross Core insulation is suited to colder hunts and long glassing sessions, while the micro ripstop polyester construction keeps the profile streamlined for use in a layered system. It also pairs naturally with other pieces in the XKG Series, including the Elevation, Pinnacle, or Boulder Jacket. Details like zippered hand pockets, stretch elastic bound armholes, and a PFC-free DWR treatment round out a piece designed for flexible use in the field.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a mid-to-outer layer, so it may not replace a full jacket when conditions call for more coverage.
- The insulation level is fixed at 100 grams, which adds warmth but also means less flexibility than a lighter vest for high-output movement.
- The vest is built around layering, so fit and comfort will depend on how it is paired with other XKG pieces or base layers.
- PFC-Free DWR treatment can help with light moisture, but it is not a substitute for a dedicated rain shell in sustained wet weather.
