Santa brought me a new Eddie Bauer First Ascent down vest.
Out of curiosity I tried it on under my EB down jacket and found it was OK for fit – well maybe a teensy bit Michilen Man looking. But it gives the jacket a lot more temp. range.
Has anyone worn a down vest under their down jacket to boost the warmth?
Yes, I have done that.
Used the vest at camp as I was moving about then put the jacket on top (similar or same as the one in your avatar)
Works well for me.
That is also a good option for me in bed, just the vest instead of the jacket.
(never used both inside my sleeping bag…)
I've done an oversized down vest over a down hoody. The hoody goes along for 3 season trips and the vest goes over for sub freezing.
My down warmth comes from one down vest and one down inner jacket. I can wear either inside the other. If it is going to be a cold night in the sleeping bag, I wear the down vest over my torso, and I use the down jacket over my legs. Then I have an additional down blanket (only 3 ounces of down and one ounce of fabric) that can go inside the sleeping bag as well.

Just another variation on " layering" :)
