Trollveggen warm3 vest. Synthetic insulation at the warmest of Norrøna's three synthetic weights, in the alpine and expedition line.
Synthetic rather than down, and that's the entire point of this piece. Synthetic fill keeps insulating when it's damp, where down flattens and quits until it dries out. Vermont spring skiing is exactly that kind of wet, and a soaked down vest is just a heavy vest.
The trade-off is real and worth knowing. Synthetic is heavier and bulkier for the same warmth, and it doesn't compress as small. You're buying reliability in wet conditions and paying for it in pack space.
Vest rather than jacket keeps your core warm while leaving your arms unrestricted under a shell, which is the layering configuration that actually works for most skiing.
Cut to go under a shell. Size to your mid-layer rather than to your outerwear.
