The Men’s Merino Hi-Loft Insulator Vest is a lightweight insulation layer designed to provide natural warmth, temperature regulation, and mobility during active outdoor use. Built with FORLOH’s Merino Hi-Loft wool batten insulation, it delivers dependable warmth while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape during movement.

The low-bulk construction layers easily under outerwear in colder conditions or functions as a standalone outer layer during cool weather. Designed for hunting, hiking, travel, and everyday time outside, it provides adaptable performance without restricting movement.

  • Merino Hi-Loft wool insulation provides breathable, natural warmth
  • Temperature-regulating wool adapts to changing activity levels
  • Lightweight insulation maintains mobility without bulk
  • Polygiene® Stay Fresh + Odor Crunch® technology helps control odor
  • Durable nylon ripstop exterior resists wind and abrasion
  • Zippered hand pockets provide secure storage
  • Designed for standalone wear or integrated layering systems

Constructed using FORLOH’s Merino Hi-Loft wool batten insulation, this vest combines the natural performance benefits of merino wool with a lofted structure that traps warmth while remaining breathable. Wool fibers naturally regulate temperature and resist odor during extended wear.

The exterior uses a lightweight 40D Shadow Box nylon ripstop fabric treated for durability and light weather resistance, while the interior liner incorporates recycled stretch fabric enhanced with Polygiene® antimicrobial technology for long-lasting freshness and comfort.

  • Insulation: Merino Hi-Loft wool batten (4 oz/sq yd)
  • Face fabric: 40D Shadow Box nylon ripstop with DWR finish
  • Collar: Trizar® stretch warming fabric
  • Interior lining: recycled polyester stretch fabric with Polygiene® odor control

Almost but no

"My application for this jacket is as a warming layer in the hospital setting. been using it 3 times a week for the last 5-6 months as a nurse and I've got a couple major grips with this vest. First off there is no chest zipper or inner pocket for gear stashing which is frustrating seeing as to how this thing is supposed to be geared towards outdoorsman and I being a hunter and fisherman see little to no use for this thing in either of those applications for this very issue. Secondly, I hate to say it, is inferior quality. Most all of the stitching is unweaving itself and I have multiple tears in the outer material from strictly indoor use. Also, there is pretty significant stitching slop on the bottom of the back of this vest which makes it hike up in the back in an unflattering way. Last and least is the zipper. Yes, it's a YKK but it must be the cheapest of the YKKs as it is not durable and simply cannot hold up to heavy professional use. multiple times I've had the bottom unzip due to the bottom of my vest being pulled away from the zipper which is annoying and really shouldn't be happening. on the plus side it is comfortable and it does provide a very breathable layer that can keep you warm without cooking you. the outer material is also much more tolerant of liquid spills than that of a felt vest and the noise is relatively low. All in all, I would not suggest this vest until they update their stitching and add AT LEAST an inner pocket."

Nice product

"The shoulders fit fine but mid-section is bulky (Large, 6', 43-44 chest, 215lbs). It may work if you're layering over bulky items. I love that it's made in the USA!"

"Absolutely love this vest its the perfect combination for early mornings when its chilly during Archery hunting with a shell over it! Or in the afternoon when the sun drops and the wind starts to blow. We asked they answered, with another quality product!!"

Todd A. (5/5)

Different fit

"It was tight in the shoulders and lose in the mid section area. I like the material and the idea of the vest however the fit was not the greatest for me."

Brooks A. (3/5)

Too big

"I actually sent it back. I ordered an XL, and it was huge. Seemed like it was made for bigger people. I would love a more tailored version."

Bill R. (4/5)
