I've been itching to get my hands on a Western Mountaineering Flash vest ever since Western Mountaineering announced the product last year. The Flash aims to set a new standard in lightweight insulation with a specified weight of only 3.5 ounces (100 grams). With every feature aimed at shaving a few grams, the Flash vest gives up some comfort. But does it matter when you get a down vest at this weight?
