Cotopaxi Fuego Max Down Women's Vest

Built for core warmth on cold, windy days, the Cotopaxi Fuego Max Down Women's Vest turns up the heat over the standard Fuego. Extra down fills a wind and water-resistant shell for toasty coverage without sleeves to slow you down. It's the layer for frosty summits and dawn dog walks.

Why we like it:

The extra fill is the draw; it packs more warmth into the core than the standard Fuego while keeping your arms free to move. Spacious hand pockets are perfect for stashing a phone or hand warmers.

Features and Functions:

The Max version steps up the warmth with 800-fill RDS-certified 90/10 white duck down behind a 100% recycled nylon shell at 37gsm, treated with a C0 DWR 80/10 finish and downproof cire coating for wind and light-moisture resistance. A 37gsm recycled nylon lining and spacious zippered hand pockets round it out. It stays lightweight and packable despite the extra fill.

Fit and Sizing:

A regular fit layers easily over a baselayer or under a shell, with a length that covers the core. It moves freely without sleeves in the way. True to size.

Bottom Line:

This is a core-warmth vest, best for high-output days when you want to protect your center without overheating. It layers under a shell for skiing or stands alone on brisk mornings. A focused piece that does one job well.
