Men's Wilderness Expedition Heavyweight Merino Wool Vest
For those days when a jacket is too much but a hoodie isn't enough, this 100% merino wool vest hits the sweet spot. The 380 GSM Ponte De Roma double-knit construction delivers serious warmth while keeping your arms free for movement—whether you're hauling gear, casting a line, or heading into the office. Yoked shoulders keep seams off your shoulder line so pack straps sit comfortably during long carries.
Why You'll Love This Vest:
Ponte De Roma is a double-knit technique that creates incredibly durable, stretchy fabric with natural drape—it won't wrinkle or lose shape, making this vest just as appropriate in town as on the trail. The full-zip mock neck with YKK semi-auto locking zipper stays put when you set it, while the zipper garage protects your chin from cold metal and fabric pinching. Two hand pockets with locking zippers keep your valuables secure on the move. At 12 oz (size L), it's substantial enough for serious warmth yet layers easily under a shell. UPF 50+ protection and triple certification (OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Woolmark, and Responsible Wool Standard) confirm the quality.
Why 100% Merino?
Pure Australian merino wool regulates temperature naturally—keeping your core warm in extreme cold while breathing when you're working hard. The fiber's built-in odor resistance means you can wear this vest day after day without washing, and moisture-wicking properties keep you dry even during high-output activities. Unlike synthetic fleece that traps odors and melts near flames, merino stays fresh and is naturally fire-resistant.

Regular fit with room to layer a base layer or shirt underneath. Runs true to size.
