Karakoram Down Insulated Vest

Story

The vest version of FrizmWORKS bestselling expedition parka

Inspired by mountain expedition parkas of the 60's, the Karakoram Vest is a reinterpretation of the Down Parka. Starting with the fabric, it's constructed from a 60-40 cotton-nylon blend that has a vintage, textured finish just like how they made 'em over a half century ago. Heavenly duck down is tucked away in neat, square baffles. And the warmth rating is further boosted thanks to a thick liner on the inside, a storm flap, and a YKK® 2-way zipper. As if that weren't enough, there are waxed drawcords at the waist as well as a leather adjuster to further close it off from the elements.
