Best Down Vest 2026
"I purchased the Ptarmigan down vest in olive green, after an exhaustive search. I was looking for a puffer vest that would be warm, fashionable and had a high collar to keep out the cold. The Ptarmigan ticked all of those boxes. It seemed like I was between sizes, so I ordered a men's M and L - the medium ended up being the perfect fit (5'10", 170lbs) so I returned the other one without any issues. I primarily bought this vest with the intention of wearing it for spring cycling up here in chilly Minnesota, but it looks so nice I usually throw it over a black tee and wear it with jeans when I'm running errands or heading to the gym. You'll find less expensive options online, but this down vest is worth every penny."
