Article Summary:
Need an easy introduction to making clothing with down? This vest is a simple design with no bells or whistles, which results in a light weight (8.5 ounces) for a 2.25-inch loft, which should keep you warm down to well below freezing. A vest keeps the insulation where it will do the most good - around your torso - and keeps the design simple and easier to make.
