Designed to give alpine climbers and mountaineers the core warmth necessary while in the backcountry or just around town, Mountain Hardwear's Sub Zero Vest for Men weights in at just over a pound and is compressible enough to cram into your already stuffed backpack. The Sub Zero, worn over your fleece midlayer to cut the morning chill or under your ski jacket to provide addition insulation at base camp, has zippered handwarmer pockets and drawstring hem making it easy to adjust on the fly.
Awesome Vest
Short and simple, great vest, looks great i love this jacket
Great Vest
This vest is very warm and is definitely designed with serious outdoors people in mind. The shoulders are wider which provide better surface for pack straps. ie; they don't sit half on and half off the shoulder cuff. The shoulders are made of a durable nylon which should take the wear of backpacks better. It's also a great looking vest. Very happy with it and Altrec's service!
Addictive!
I bought this vest a couple years ago expecting to only wear it sparingly under a shell during very cold winter camping and skiing trips. I've subsequently found it to be my one of my favorites, and I've worn it during a variety of activities for which I never thought it would be applicable. I would highly recommend this product; it's good as an outer layer over a light fleece, under a hunting jacket, under a shell, or even over your dress shirt for commuting when you just can't stand looking like another robot in a felt coat! I'm not sure if any changes have been made, but mine has a hem drawstring as well as another one about 4 inches up from the hem across the lower back, so it can be cinched up to fit like a glove. The only other vest I have for comparison is a Patagonia micro-puff, and this one actually fits me much better. (I'm a Med in almost everything) The quality is outstanding as well; I would argue the construction is as good as or even better than my North Face Nuptse full-sleeved jacket, (circa 1998?)and I actually prefer the outside fabric on this vest to that of the Nuptse. Finally, a quick word on aesthetics; I know earth colors are all the thing now, but I got this vest in kind of a carbon color with black and it is sick! Also, the logos are a bit more subdued - just the MH nut embroidered on the front chest and again on the center back just below the collar. I hope they go back to that so you don't look like a sponsored athlete. In conclusion: buy this vest! If you're even remotely in a cold climate (MN here) you'll find an excuse to wear it 8 months out of the year!

I love this jacket. I typically buy The Northface products but I must say that Mountain Hardware has great quality, fit and did I mention that is also very warm.
Awesome vest!
I bought this vest with some hesitation because I usually buy The North Face jackets. I must say the quality of this jacket is at par or even better than my North Face Nuptsy jacket. Buy this jacket it's warm and tough!!
Very nice vest
I have never been disappointed in the quality of a Mountain Hardwear garment. They aren't bashful about their prices though. This vest is very warm. The collar is fully filled with down, so it's good when worn alone, but bulky when under a jacket. I like the idea there are both inside and outside chest pockets. Some might not like the bold Mountain Hardwear logo on the front, but I think it's classy.
