I bought this for alpine touring. I wear it over my heavy hooded base layer (mountain equipment eclipse hoodie), and under my bibs. pockets are easily accessible under the bibs and backpack. cuts wind to the torso and regulates temps wonderfully. the hood encompasses my face nicely to help with side wind also. highly recommend this vest for touring, warm day resort mid layer, spring/fall hiking, or just around town.

I love this vest. Ortovox makes different vests with different features and warmth. I wasn’t sure how much I was going to use the hood on a vest, but I love it. I often wear this vest on high-aerobic activities (or simply wearing around town). I highly recommend this vest.

Ortovoz simply makes some of the best mountaineering the outdoor clothing...period. This is one of my go to pieces. Whether as a layering piece over a base layer and under a shell or over a mid layer. I simply love this piece. Two large zippers on the chest to regulate temp and a third zipper to stash your phone, lip balm, etc.
