    Warmest Vest possible?

    Hey guys as I sit here in Clay county being beat by 19 degree temps and 5 degree wind chill, I am dying to zip up the rest of my jacket but I can't. See my problem is that I have the new OPT high plains predator jacket and am blown away by how much better it is than under armours ridge reaper jacket,my issue is I own the predator fleece vest, extremely warm but also insanely bulky. I just wish I could find something with the same warmth but with way less bulk, I'm not looking for something paper thin just something that I could zip the rest of my jacket over. Anyone out there have a vest or brand that they swear by is the next best thing to sliced bread? I'm not picky on camo patterns,or any pattern for that matter and I could care less about this whole scent control shenanigans.



    Forgive me if I misspelled anything,I can't feel my fingers.
    God Bless

    I wear a underarm or vest that's pretty legit. Drake waterfowl also offers a few good ones

      I found a 100% wool sweater at goodwill for $4. I cut the sleeves off and made a nice warm vest.

      I sewed the sleeves together and made a neck gaiter.

              I've got a Drake Down vest that will run you out of a room. I'm sure it's no better than any other down vest. It's the warmest single pieces of clothing I own. When the weather is like this, I'll wear a hoodie, my vest and my Arctic Shield performance fit jacket and I'm as warm as can be.

                A Filson wool vest is thin and will get so warm that it's usually all that you need.

                    I was gonna mention Cablela's heated fleece vest (new product).
                    I'm assuming it's made like an electric blanket.
                    Charge battery in 110 outlet, remove battery and plug in.



                    Might be trying these soon...

                          I have a drake vest in green that is fleece and hot. I alternate it with my Sitka kelvin primal oft vest here in Kansas right now. Both are great and it is COLD here now.

                            I was sweating in a popup with my arctic shield and only 28 degrees.

                            We'll see how it does in the morning with it being 22.

                              A friend has a vest by North Face. It's thin but he says it keeps him toasty warm.
