The Gramicci Ripple Sherpa Vest is made of 100% polyester heavy pile sherpa fleece fabric that brings that seriously thick texture that feels like wearing a cloud made of warmth, perfect for throwing over a hoodie or jacket when you need that extra bit of insulation but don't want to look like you're preparing for an arctic expedition to the coffee shop. Whether you call it a gilet, a bodywarmer, or a vest, and honestly, the naming debate is almost as heated as discussions about the best belay device, one thing's for sure: this thing will get a lot of wear from people who understand that sometimes you need core warmth without restricting arm movement. The stand collar provides extra neck coverage for when the wind picks up and reminds you why humans invented clothing in the first place, while those seriously handy zip pockets (including a chest pocket) keep your essentials secure even when you're moving around like someone who actually uses their outdoor gear."
