More About Black Vests

A black vest is a signature part of any traveler's wardrobe. From cool summer nights to harsh winter weather, any one of our styles can adapt to many climates. Embrace the fall months by layering this piece over a long-sleeve t-shirt to keep out the chill. As temperatures drop, a black puffer vest is a great base layer to trap heat under a more heavy-duty outer shell. Plus, a dark color scheme is always a good idea to reduce the appearance of dirt. You can totally make it messy and it will still look like new. (We've tested out this theory on the trail, too.)

Grab a black vest that's built to last

Our gear is packed with features and benefits for any adventure. Before you head out the door, go for a vest with a wind-resistant construction and waterproof fabrics that will keep you warm on the coldest winter days. Remember to seek out options with durable paneling for extra ventilation. While extreme breathability is key, an impenetrable construction is also vital to keep you cozy on the mountainside.

Find the right fit for you

When it comes to black vests for women and men, we offer a wide range of materials and styles. Keep in mind that a fleece vest is a great base layer, but you might want a more insulated option if you're venturing out without a coat. Our gear is wind-resistant with a great warmth-to-weight ratio. If you're eyeing a flattering fit, picks like our Aconcagua Vest guarantee you'll set up camp in style. Browse our women's black puffer vests and our selection of men's black puffer vests today.
