Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

Full disclosure: I got the vest free because I review apparel and gear for a website, www.FitnessTravelGear.com. That doesn't affect my opinion though, really, because I would adore this vest no matter what. It keeps my core cozy, even in the wind that blows fierce and cold off the waters of North Beach in Point Reyes National Seashore. It has a hood. It's reversible. It goes with everything- jeans, t-shirts, turtlenecks, fleece jackets...And it's really cute.

Prana makes super-durable stuff, too, so you can be sure it will last. I beat the holy living daylights out of  a pair of Prana Tenaya pants - I stuck them with crampons, for goodness' sake- and it still took them five years to wear out. They didn't even wear out, exactly. I just destroyed the bottoms by stepping on them (I'm short and hate hemming) so I had to cut them into shorts. Cut 'em a little too short. Whoops.

Anyway, I'm definitely going to hold onto this vest.

Take a peek at it here:

These cliffs are on the west coast of Inis Mor, a tiny island off the west coast of Ireland. When the wind hits these cliffs, it has been screaming inimpeded across thousands of miles of Atlantic Ocean. It's wicked. I could have used the vest there.
