The Aeroloft Flash Running Black vest is an excellent piece of men’s fitness clothing specially designed for the athletic male in cold conditions. The 800 fill goose down guarantees you enough warmth and insulation to maintain performance in cold weather and the water repellent finishing keeps you dry when the days are too wet for your liking; so no need worrying about getting frozen or wet when trying to stay fit. It also makes a great fitness gift for the sporty man in your life.
Features-
The main fabric of the body of the vest is made from a soft, fine grid ripstop fabric which has a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. This fabric makes up both the inside and outside of the body. The baffles, which stop and give way to non-insulated sections at about the navel on both the front and the back, are about 1.5 inches tall and are filled with 800-fill goose down. In between each baffle is a small, perforated line which are small enough to not negate the insulation but also help with moisture management and temperature regulation.
Apart from the lower third of the body being free from baffled insulation, the sides and on top of the shoulder are as well. The sides are primarily made from a single layer of the same fabric that makes up the body of the Aeroloft 800 running vest. At the bottom and back of the armseye (the hole where your arms come out) the fabric transitions to Dri-FIT mesh panels which give more stretch and flex to afford the more moving areas more comfort while running. Dri-FIT mesh also shows up as the fabric of choice for the collar.
Fit-
It wasn’t tight or constrictive at all but it was definitely not super loose and that is certainly by design. The vest moves very well with the body and doesn’t get in the way as something larger might. To be honest, for a down vest it simply feels very “racer-y” and I like it a lot.
I think that this vest would also be a great addition for some cyclists since there is a bit of a drop-tail in the back and certainly for those doing work while doing some hard work on back country ski or snowshoe tours.
The Aeroloft 800 running vest is a very solid investment in a piece that, with the right, variable baselayers, will be with you for a very long time. The fit is sleek, moves well with the body and the light weight makes it pretty much disappear when you’re running. While pricey, this is a very solid and durable piece of gear that any runner would enjoy.
Great gift for Christmas
