Powder Lite II Vest traps warmth with thermal-reflective lining and water-resistant performance
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This vest is my go-to for shoulder season hikes. It layers easily over a fleece or under a shell, and the Omni-Heat™ lining actually makes a difference when the temps dip. Super versatile, lightweight, and perfect for active days outside."
From frosty morning treks to breezy afternoons on the trail, the Columbia Powder Lite II Vest delivers core warmth without the bulk. Designed with active pursuits in mind, it layers effortlessly under a shell or over your favorite flannel for adaptable comfort in changing weather. The Omni-Heat™ thermal-reflective lining captures body heat to keep us cozy, while the synthetic Thermarator™ insulation stays warm even if it gets damp.
With zippered hand pockets to stash small essentials, a chin guard for comfort, and a drawcord-adjustable hem that seals out chilly gusts, this vest is more than just lightweight—it’s fully adventure-ready. Whether we’re hiking into golden aspens or walking the dog through a snowy park, this vest has our back with smart warmth and weather protection.

Nice Vest!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Originally purchased a large tall for 6'2" male. It was too long so had to return and purchased just the large regular which fit much better. Light weight yet warm.
