The Hollowfield Down Vest began as a field note: something that moves like a favorite shirt but shrugs off a full day outside. A core-warming vest that compresses into its own pocket.
It is made from 650-fill responsibly sourced down, chosen because it handles abrasion from pack straps and still softens after a few washes. The cut is relaxed through the shoulders with articulated elbows, so reaching for a handhold never pulls the hem up past your waist.
Seams are flat-felled where they meet your skin and taped where the weather comes in. We moved the side seams forward so a hip belt sits on fabric instead of stitching, which sounds small until mile nine.
The colors are dyed in small lots, so each run carries a slight variation in tone. We think that is part of the charm; your piece will fade along its own path as it collects sun and stories.
Pockets are placed where hands naturally fall, with one zippered stash big enough for a phone and a folded paper map. Every zipper pull is a looped cord you can grab with gloves on.
650-fill responsibly sourced down. Approximate weight of the selected variant: 972 g.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Hang to dry. Do not use fabric softener, which clogs the weave and reduces breathability. Re-apply a wash-in water repellent once a season if water stops beading.
Free ground shipping on orders over $75.00; otherwise a flat $7.95. Returns within 60 days.

Wore this for four days on a coastal route and it never felt clammy. The cut leaves room for a base layer underneath. Pockets are well placed. I wish there were one more interior pocket but that is a minor complaint.

The stitching is tidy and the zipper runs smoothly. It has already survived a bramble patch that shredded my old one. Sized up because of the reviews and it is roomy. Next time I would stay true to size.
