NF Prolix Vest

Rating:*****
I have been looking for a lightweight, compressible vest that blocks wind while breathing, and dries quickly. I do alot of peakbagging, and sweat alot, so I like the vest option as a way of keeping the core warm while allowing the dissipation of heat. I have used it three times so far in Winter - Spring conditions, each time with winds in the 15 - 30 plus MPH range. The vest blocked the wind effectively, breathed well, and dried quickly.
