What is the Rotor Vest?
It's a warm, synthetically insulated vest that uses PrimaLoft® Gold insulation for an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio. Lightweight and highly packable, it's the ideal layer to chuck on once you reach the summit, stop for lunch, or use as part of a technical layering system in cold climates.
What is it made from?
The Rotor Vest uses a combination of a durable windproof face fabric and cosy PrimaLoft® Gold insulation for a fantastic warmth-to-weight ratio with a minimal pack size.
Insulation: OMM has filled the Rotor Vest with 40g PrimaLoft® Gold with Cross Core throughout the body and used Primaloft® Luxe loose fill through the collar.
Primaloft® Gold with Crosscore is the highest quality synthetic insulation available. It's the Gold standard of Primaloft™ insulation, providing the ultimate level of warmth compared to other fibres. The technically advanced fibres are infused with Aerogel technology, which is used by NASA and acclaimed for its ultra lightweight yet ultra insulative properties. This fantastic insulation is the same that OMM use in their mountain-ready sleeping bags, as it offers maximum warmth even when wet and gives an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio. Primaloft® Luxe is designed to mimic the look and feel of natural down with all the benefits and none of the drawbacks, making it a cosy and functional choice for the Rotor Vest's collar.
Fabrics: OMM has used its own Point Zero® fabric, an incredibly lightweight and ultra-packable ripstop material made from 100% nylon. Point Zero® is fully windproof without compromising breathability and exceptionally durable for its weight, making it the ideal protective companion to the vest's premium insulation.
The vest is finished with a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment for light protection from rain and snow, encouraging it to bead off the surface rather than soaking in, but please note that this does not make the vest waterproof.
What are its features?
The Rotor Vest has a concise feature set to keep weight and pack size to a minimum. It features a stand collar to help retain heat and protect the back of the neck from cold drafts, a cord hem to seal out the elements, and a half-length front zip with a draft flap that allows easy ventilation whilst on the move.
A single zippered chest pocket provides storage for small essentials and also doubles as a stuff sack for the vest when it's not in use.
