Admit it: you were cold last night at the game, even if you wouldn't admit it to your girlfriend. She told you to wear more than just a flannel, and she was right. Rather than spend another fall evening ill-prepared to fight off chattering teeth, invest in the Howler Bros Merlin Insulated Vest already to stay warm in the in-between season. Water-repellent polyester and synthetic insulation promise to fight off a damp chill rain or shine, while front pockets and a cozy 3in collar help you retain heat when the sun goes down. The Merlin packs well too: head out of town for a weekend in the mountains and stuff the vest inside of itself using the included pocket to save space.
