?? Vest OR full sleeve down coat??

I already have a windproof-rainproof shell on my rain jacket, so I don't need another one. For insulation, I have one down inner jacket and one down vest.

If I think the weather might get a little cool, I can take the down inner jacket. If I think it will get downright cold, then I can take the down vest with it. In either case for wind, the rain jacket goes over it.

I carry down sleeves for sleeping and always wear them since I like to stick my arms out of my quilt (stomach sleeper.) Add a vest and I have a versatile, fully modular system.

I just use vest.

I don't like the constriction of sleeves when I move my arms around.

Temperature of arms is less than torso so the insulation around torso does more good.

With long sleeve shirt, vest, and jacket for walking around, or shirt, vest, quilt sleeping I stay warm down to 20 F.

OK! I'm going with the vest!
