Nearly half the volume of plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is comprised of abandoned fishing nets. These nets entangle marine life and degrade into microplastics that enter the bloodstreams of whale sharks, sea turtles, orcas and other beloved ocean species. Why is this relevant in the description of a down vest? Because the shell of this vest is completely constructed of old fishing nets that were pulled from the ocean! Once again Patagonia, always known for ethical and sustainable business practices, has raised the bar by cleaning up the ocean and reducing its reliance on new petroleum-based polyesters. But this vest does more than protect the planet – it also protects you when you want to keep your core warm but your arms free to move, or you can layer it under a parka when you need to maintain every degree in extremely cold conditions. The NetPlus® shell is windproof and water repellent and the 800-fill down is ethically sourced, so you can feel good and warm when you wear this vest.
