{"product_id":"heavyweight-womens-wool-vest-wilderness","title":"Women's Wilderness Expedition Heavyweight Merino Wool Vest","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen you need core warmth without overheating your arms, this 100% merino wool vest delivers. The 380 GSM Ponte De Roma double-knit construction is twice as durable as single-layer fabrics while staying lighter than traditional heavyweight wool—perfect for Alaska's demanding conditions. Yoked shoulders keep seams off your shoulder line so backpack straps sit comfortably, and two hand pockets with YKK semi-auto locking zippers keep your valuables secure on the move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Vest:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe full-zip mock neck with zipper garage protects your chin from cold metal and fabric pinching. Ponte De Roma is a double-knit technique that creates an incredibly durable, stretchy fabric with natural drape—it won't wrinkle or lose shape, making this vest just as appropriate in the office as on the trail. At 9.6 oz (size M), it's substantial enough for serious warmth yet packable for travel. The tagless label eliminates neck irritation, and UPF 50+ protection blocks harmful rays during high-altitude adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy 100% Merino?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePure 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. Triple certified (OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Woolmark, and Responsible Wool Standard) for quality you can trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize \u0026amp; Fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegular fit with room to layer underneath—not too tight, not too baggy.
