OMM's new, updated Rotor Vest is the ideal insulating layer, providing a phenomenal amount of warmth in a durable, lightweight package that proved to be very versatile, even when wet.
OMM says
The Rotor Vest uses the same PrimaLoft® Gold insulation as our sleeping bags, giving you an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio. At 128g the Rotor Vest is ideal as a layer to quickly throw on when you reach the tops or as part of a layering system in colder temperatures. Filled with 40g PrimaLoft® Gold with Cross Core with a wind and water resistant outer shell and lining for enhanced protection. With a half length zip, integrated stuff pocket (mesh backed so can be used for enhanced venting) and amazing pack size, this stripped back layer can be carried in the smallest packs.
Our Verdict
OMM's Rotor Insulated Vest is an excellent choice for the fast and light adventurer looking for an extra layer of insulation on a cold days. This is, first and foremost, a running vest, and is in it's element keeping your core warm on winter mornings. Although it still lends itself well to any activity where weight and packsize are important such as fast packing and cycling.
The simple, close fit allows for an excellent range of movement without catching the wind. The central zip gives the vest some extra breathability for when it gets too warm. It handily stuffs into the tiny chest pocket to make it easy to carry. It has become an essential piece of kit for even the most weight-critical runs.
It is also advised to consider sizing up as they do seem to fit smaller then other brands.
