The COTTON/NYLON DOWN VEST takes inspiration from the original jacket, with initial development dating back to the 1940s. It was custom-built for a team of American expeditioners attempting to climb K2 (The Savage Mountain) in 1953. By removing the sleeves and hood from the jacket, the vest maintained similar heat retention capabilities while allowing for improved mobility.
