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."

Great vest

"Love this vest! It's is very warm and light weight. The only suggestion would be to make the zipper a bit quieter."

AmyH (5/5)

Great vest!

"The vest is super light and warm! It works great under a jacket in freezing temps!"

Kyle S. (5/5)

Best Vest Ever

"I bought this and the first week temperatures dropped and it was not only comfortable, it was warm. The elastic in the arm openings keep the wind out without any binding. Great design. When I travel it is easy to roll up in the supplied bag and throw in the back pack. The real test was wearing only the Ptarmigan vest and the Blacktail Sweater in 4 degrees with windchill of minus 10 and I was very comfortable. The fit is true to size. Best purchase ever when it comes to a vest."
