MEC Northern Light Vest

The MEC Northern Light Vest has been a staple of backcountry enthusiasts for over 20 years. It is a simple, light weight and functional vest that has been engineered to last. Some of the features of the vest that we like is that it is water and wind resistant so that you can wear it as an outer layer on those slightly colder days or as a mid layer on the really cold days.

The vest packs into its own pocket, but I prefer to just stuff it in my pack. This vest would be an easy choice for any backcountry activity: skiing, climbing or hiking.
