5.11 Tactical - Explore PrimaLoft Vest
From backcountry missions to your daily commute, the 5.11 Tactical Explore PrimaLoft® Vest is a packable insulated vest for outdoor adventurers, hikers, hunters, and everyday users who need lightweight warmth without the bulk. Insulated with 80g PrimaLoft® Gold made from 100% recycled polyester, the Explore delivers the warmth-to-weight performance that only premium synthetic insulation can match - critical for layering under a shell or wearing on its own in cool conditions. The quilted construction locks the insulation in place for consistent warmth distribution.
The 100% polyester plain weave shell and 100% nylon ripstop lining are both treated with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that sheds light rain, snow, and surface moisture - keeping the insulation dry and lofted. A full-zip front with chin guard prevents zipper irritation against the neck, while an adjustable shock cord hem seals in warmth and blocks drafts at the waist. Storage is built in: hidden zipper hand pockets and a chest pocket handle EDC essentials, while an internal dump pocket with stretch binding provides additional secure storage. The whole vest packs into its own included stuff sack for go-anywhere convenience - throw it in a pack, kit bag, or vehicle console until you need it. Subtle [+] matte heat transfer logos at the shoulder and upper back keep the branding low-key.
