Down alternative vests?

Posted by Anonymous on Mar 22, 2008 · Member since Dec 1969 · 11789 posts

Hi, folks. Does anyone know of any brands that carry down alternative vests? I love my poofy vests, but 1) they are getting old, and 2) they are down. I want to replace them with vegan alternatives because I love them for chilly fall days, hiking, etc., but I can't seem to find any.

Thanks :)>>>

This is what I'm looking for--something quilted and poofy: http://images.usoutdoorstore.com/usoutdoorstore/products/full/ptg_w_downvest_sur_07.jpg

I like http://campmore.com.

Oh to add... my friend works at campmore, I get a discount and I can shop the retail shop, close enough.
Good links below. Also cross reference ebay, I got my kelty shell and a deuter bag basically for the cost of shipping.

Now's a great time to shop for them, since they'll be on clearance. I get most of my outdoor stuff from REI and there are some great prices at their site now. A lot of their vests have Primaloft instead of down.

Keep an eye on the Bargain Barn for a good deal: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/
Average discount: http://www.campmor.com
The outlet can have good prices: http://www.rei.com/
