Description
The 32 Degrees Women’s Lightweight Packable Vest in Dried Basil is a popular transitional piece known for its earthy, natural tone. The "Dried Basil" color is a muted, desaturated sage or olive green that leans toward a neutral, making it easy to pair with black, cream, or denim.
Design & Key Features
- The Color: A soft, matte olive/sage green. It provides a more "organic" look compared to the high-shine black or navy versions, fitting perfectly with a "gorpcore" or outdoor-casual aesthetic.
- Extreme Packability: Designed for travel and layering, it includes a matching Dried Basil drawstring pouch. The vest compresses down to a small, lightweight cylinder that can easily fit into a hiking pack or carry-on.
- Insulation: It features 32 Degrees' signature synthetic poly-fill (approximately 250 GSM). This provides significant warmth without the bulk of traditional down, and it maintains its loft even in damp conditions.
- Weather Resistance: The shell is made of 100% Nylon with a water-repellent finish to protect against light rain and mist.
Technical Specifications
- Materials: 100% Nylon Shell; 100% Polyester Insulation (often utilizing recycled fibers).
- Storage: Two secure zippered hand pockets on the exterior and two deep "drop-in" interior pockets for essentials like a smartphone or keys.
- Fit: Features a regular fit with straight horizontal or chevron quilting. Side panels are often designed with tighter quilting to provide a more tailored, non-boxy silhouette.
- Care: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low.
