Why We Like The Outdoor Research Shadow Insulated Vest

From winter crags to shoulder-season treks, we retain our core warmth with the Outdoor Research Shadow Insulated Vest. Filled with recycled and bio-based fibers, this layer turns the heat up at a lower impact to mother nature, while the tight weave dulls the force of crisp winds, and the touch of stretch lets us move freely.

Well made and comfortable. Nice to wear in the office in the colder months.

Well made navy vest

Was looking for a navy vest to wear over sweaters. Like it a lot. Only change I need to make is to tighten the armholes. Great color!

Wonderful!!

I could not be happier with the performance of this best. Purchased for cold weather running and an additional layer during winter hikes/camping. I have already been able to use multiple times and would purchase again!

Soft fabric, light vest

Use as layer under Shadow hoody. Casual, not technical, not packable. Comfortable True to size, roomy around chest

Love the fabric, need more pockets and colours

I got Shadow hoodie in loden a year ago. The colour is too earthy for my like, but I love how soft the fabric is and roomy style. Maybe I miss something, but I don't see vest in loden. I got moth - pale purply pink . Not a practical colour for outdoor and doesn't match well with other colors. I keep the vest - it's light, soft, roomy and was on sale. Cons - to roomy in chest for S size (hips are ok), no chest pocket, only one small drop pocket inside, colour selection is limited.

Form AND function

Keeps my core warm yet not bulky. Flattering cut keeps my waist looking trim. Love this vest more than I thought I would. Wore it nearly every day in the field this season. Roomy pockets with zippers that don't stick. Good for everyday errands and the backcountry.

Great length

Love this vest and color(Elk). Great length and thin/warm layer. Will be easy to layer with a coat on cold days outside.

Ski Touring Staple

This has quickly become a staple for colder ski touring days and casual wear! I got my usual size (M), at first I was worried it was too big, but I've really come to appreciate the extra wiggle room when layering. Super warm and fits perfectly under my ski shell without adding extra bulk on the arms. I wouldn't say its the most breathable layer I've ever had, but the warmth is seriously impressive.

Shadow Vest

I purchased the Elk color and it is just beautiful. I ordered the large and the fit is just right for layering.
