Transcendent Down Vest - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I throw the Transcendent Down Vest in my pack on every shoulder-season trip—it’s light, super warm for its weight, and packs down into its own pocket. Perfect for layering over a fleece or under a shell, and I love that the down is responsibly sourced."

When crisp mornings greet us at camp or the sun drops behind the ridge on a chilly hike, the Outdoor Research Transcendent Down Vest delivers just the right amount of warmth. This ultralight, highly packable vest is built with responsibly sourced 650-fill down that insulates against the cold without weighing us down. It's a go-to piece for layering under a shell during windy hikes or throwing over a flannel for town strolls after a day on the trail.

The lightweight ripstop fabric resists wind and light moisture, and the vest stuffs into its own pocket for easy packing. Features like snap hand pockets with soft brushed linings and an internal zip chest pocket add both function and comfort. Whether we’re chasing golden hour in the mountains or just stepping out on a cool morning, the Transcendent is a reliable core insulator we reach for again and again.
