Ballast Vest
An insulated liner vest with a recycled ripstop shell — the warm layer that disappears under a coat.
The Ballast Vest is engineered as a mid-layer: a lightweight recycled ripstop nylon shell over a 60 g/m² PrimaLoft® fill that traps heat without bulk. A full-length zip, a stand collar, and two zip-closed hand pockets keep it clean under the Bias Field Jacket or worn alone on a dry day.
Named for what it does — ballast, the weight that steadies without being seen. It sits flat under outerwear and holds its warmth when the temperature can't decide.
