Dri Duck Trail Vest

I recently received a Dri Duck Trail 5035 as a gift. This was the first time I have ever owned a vest to keep warm. At first I was VERY skeptical as to whether or not this vest would work.

I started wearing it around the house to see if it really would work before I wore it outside. I was really surprised as to how warm it helped me stay.
Then came my big test. I was going to wear it outside in 15 degree weather with a light jacket underneath. My children wanted me to help them build a snow fort, so I threw this on thinking that I wouldn't be far from home if I got cold and I could go put on my winter coat.

Not only did this keep me warm, but it allowed me a lot more mobility than my winter coat ever has. I LOVE my new Dri Duck vest. It's great for working in, keeps me warm and actually is quite fashionable. I can wear it to town and my wife isn't embarrased. Not only that, who doesn't love the name Dri Duck? It's like Ernie from Sesame Streets dream company. One that makes outdoor gear that can be used away from the bathtub.

The pockets are nice and large. The vest is made from canvas and has a heavy duty zipper. The "cell phone" pocket works out well for holding my GPS unit. It would also be great for fishing lures and other tackle.

I am going to love using this jacket for camping for many years to come. I always hate when I'm camping and gathering firewood and my coat's arms get all sweaty. With this vest that just isn't going to happen.
