Pioneer Camp Women's Packable Puffer Vest

Dawn on a damp campsite. The vest is over a mid layer while breakfast steams in a pot and the wind is trying to decide how hard to be. It packs into its own pocket or a small sack and tucks away in the pack until the ridge walk or the ferry crossing asks for one more layer. Full zip front closes cleanly.

There are four pockets for gloves, a map, a phone and the things you carry and a drawstring at the hem to trim the fit against wind. The shell is waterproof, so light showers run off rather than soak in. Folded small, it is the one sleeved-free layer you reach for when mornings are uncertain.

One of 12 on the vests rail in the Pioneer Camp wardrobe. It also answers to vests. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
