Marmot Afterburner Vest
A ReviewI love this thing. A fine cool weather unit, it warms the torso like a fingerless glove warms the palm. You can keep the pipes hanging in the open come harvest fair, chukar hunting or lunching at an outdoor cafe. I picked a snug fit, a small when I typically take medium, and it fits like a glove. One of the problems with a snug upper garment though, is a bit of rub on the armhole. I got used to it; you might not.
The Afterburner is well named; it definitely kicks me up a gear. It has Windstopper, which I like better in a vest than a jacket because ventilation is intrinsically more efficient with a vest. As for construction, man oh man, it’s as bomber feeling a garment as anything I have EVER SEEN and as for details, I like the chest pocket for glasses, the wind flap on front zip to keep the facial hairs from snagging up and the reinforcing placket on the shoulders where I carry oars and my shotgun and whatever else.
To sum this vest up I’ll say this. Wear it without a shirt over a sleeveless T and feel the air on your arms. Women don’t have a monopoly on skin! If you like long shorts and fingerless gloves, your arms bare and your torso warm, run with an Afterburner. Note, it is designed to go over a light layer and should fit snug; size accordingly.MSRP: One C note
