The ROC Flash Down Vest is a versatile and durable choice for lightweight insulation and reliable weather resistance in the mountains.
Haglofs says:
A light and warming vest for bold mountain pursuits. Updated with an iconic new look featuring signature oset quilting, it serves as a versatile core-warming piece in sync with the demands of climbing and mountaineering. The lightweight Pertex® Quantum outer fabric shields you from the elements while allowing a comfortable air flow. It’s filled with a strategic combination of H DOWN Gold and synthetic MIMIC sheet insulation placed in areas prone to chafing. The insulation extends to the high, stand-up collar, keeping your neck and chin protected from cold mountain winds.
Our Verdict
The Haglöfs ROC Flash Down Vest combines lightweight warmth with practical design, making it a dependable choice for climbers and mountaineers tackling demanding conditions.
Weighing just 254g in a medium, this vest is highly packable without skimping performance. The 700-fill H DOWN Gold provides excellent core insulation, while synthetic Mimic insulation in high-wear areas like the shoulders ensures long-term durability. The lightweight Pertex Quantum fabric is wind-resistant and breathable, maintaining comfort during high-energy activities. I particularly liked the high, stand-up collar, which offers excellent protection for the neck on windy days, and the two-way front zip, which makes layering over a harness or base layers simple.
