This lightweight backcountry vest might seem flimsy at first, but once you put it on, it locks into place to provide protection that meets Level 2 standards. Its low weight helps the vest stay in place without a waistband during rigorous movement.
The flexible backplate offers freedom of movement and warms to your body's silhouette so it can move seamlessly with you through variable terrain. Surrounded by perforated mesh, the vest allows heat to escape while skinning up the mountain and charging down the descent.
