Gear Review: Huk Fin Vest

WHAT IS IT?

Huk Fin Vest

WHAT SETS IT APART?

Using wind- and water-resistant stretch fleece (94% polyester, 6% spandex fabric), Huk created a stylish vest that offers the comfort and function required for fishing, camping, hiking, etc., in cool weather, along with the design aesthetics that make it a good fit for a brisk evening on the town. Made with quick-drying properties, the Fin Vest can handle a little mist or splash, while a full-length zipper lets you adjust to the day’s temperature. 

HOW DO I USE IT? 

Key features include zippered chest pockets that securely hold sunglasses, small tackle items or a mid-morning snack, along with two hand-warmer pockets that’ll stave off the chill and keep you ready to reel. Available in iron heather and sargasso sea heather. Sizes S-3XL.  

HOW MUCH?

$100.00 ($110 for 3XL)

ANGLER’S INSIGHT: 

A dependable vest is one of the must-have items for outdoor activities because it fits well on the light and heavy ends of the clothing spectrum. On cool mornings that promise to warm quickly, a vest worn over a sun shirt or a button-up fishing shirt may do the trick, provided an angler is not running too far. Even then, tossing on a light shell jacket cuts the wind, while the vest keeps the torso warm. When the forecast shows a chillier day, the vest is an invaluable element of layering.
