Morphosis Vest [Womens]

Combining the breathability of fleece with the wind-resistance of softshell, the Morphosis Vest traps the perfect amount of core body heat when you’re just on the edge of a shiver.

• Highly wind resistant yet breathable outer fabric
  
• Lightweight grid fleece adds insulation and wicks sweat
  
• Unlined side panels to dump excess heat and moisture
  

The Morphosis Vest excels on breezy summer summits or hard winter trail runs – situations where a full windproof would be too sweaty and an extra fleece too warm. The outer fabric is highly wind resistant and treated with an environmentally friendly PFC-free water repellent. This fabric cuts out all but the strongest of winds but is significantly more breathable than a classic windproof. The 6CFM air flow rating stops you getting stuffy and sweaty, making it perfect for high effort activities.

Made for moving in, the Morphosis Vest focuses the lightweight grid fleece around your core, leaving your under-arms and sides uninsulated. This keeps your core warm without losing wind protection, allowing you dump excess heat and moisture (aka sweat vapour – tasty!) when your heart rate is high. The full-length zip gives you extra venting capability, should you need it.

The vest’s slim fit means it can be worn straight over your base layer or over a thin fleece. This boosts your existing layers without having to reach for a full extra layer that would restrict your mobility. With a lightweight construction, the Morphosis Vest rolls up to around the size of a can of beans, fitting into small daypacks or roomier cycling jersey pockets.

Designers Notes
The Morphosis fabric combination just works so well at regulating temperature that it is rarely over-powered. But for those situations when the sleeves are just that little bit too much the vest version fits the bill perfectly.
