  • Full-grain lambskin leather meets warm down feathers in one vest defined by comfort and style. On any mountain in any range, the Bridger Leather Down Vest is built to keep you feeling as good as it looks from first tracks to apres.

    High-end without being flashy. The ruggedness of this leather down vest comes through in the details: an interior left-side chest pocket and antique brass finishing on the front zip and zippered hand pockets. The 100% full-grain lambskin feels as good as it looks, and the 80/20 down insulation gives you the warmth you need alongside a durable 100% polyester lining. It is cut with a slimmer fit, so you will likely want to size up.

    The Bridger vest in its most versatile brown. Dark Brown reads richer and deeper than Light Brown and hides daily wear and dust better. It develops a subtler patina over the years, which makes it the easy pick for the man who wants one vest that goes with everything.

    Built Right

    Full-Grain Lambskin Leather Shell

    Deep, rich dark brown lambskin that hides daily wear. 1 oz weight lambskin that softens from the first wear. It moves with you, creases where it should, and tells your story better with every mile.

    80/20 Down Insulation

    The same down system as the Bridger Down Jacket, in a sleeveless cut. Real down keeps your core warm without bulk, so the vest layers under a shell or over a flannel without adding weight.

    Antique Brass Hardware

    Full front zip and zippered hand pockets finished in antique brass. The hardware ages in step with the leather and never goes plastic-bright.

    100% Polyester Lining

    Easy-clean polyester slides cleanly over a flannel, henley, or sweater and holds up to repeated zipping and layering.

    Interior Chest Pocket

    Left-side interior chest pocket for a wallet, phone, or passport. Sits flat against the body so it does not print through the leather.

    Stand-Up Collar, Sleeveless Cut

    A clean stand collar and sleeveless silhouette give you full range of motion and make the Bridger one of the easiest pieces in the lineup to layer under a jacket.

    Product Guidance

    Best For The man who wants a darker, more versatile brown than Light Brown. The layering buyer who values a low-maintenance color. The mountain-to-town wearer who wants warmth without bulk. The buyer building a matched set with the Bridger Down Jacket in Dark Brown.
    Layering Guide & Sizing For exact personal sizing, use the Measurement WaiR Guide at the top of the page. Sizing philosophy: slim, tailored cut through the chest and shoulders. Between sizes: size up. Standard size fits over a tee or henley. One size up gives room for a flannel or midweight sweater. The vest is meant to layer — size for the shirt you will most often wear under it.
    Care Condition the leather every 3 to 6 months. Avoid machine washing. If wet, air dry naturally, never near direct heat. Store on a wide hanger.
    Pair With Bridger Leather Down Jacket | Dark Brown — Same lambskin, same down, same dark brown finish. The matched jacket-and-vest set layers together on the coldest days.
    Compare To Jackson Sherpa Leather Vest | Tan & Brown — Sherpa-lined alternative in the same premium tier. The Bridger gives a cleaner down-filled silhouette.
    Wear Over A flannel, henley, or sweater for everyday cool-weather layering.

    Product FAQs

    What's the difference between Dark Brown and Light Brown?

    The construction, materials, and warmth are identical. Dark Brown is a deeper, richer color that hides daily wear and dust better than the lighter shades. Light Brown develops a more visible patina at the shoulders and front.

    Jacket or vest — which should I get?

    The Bridger Down Jacket gives you full coverage and standalone warmth. The vest is more versatile for layering across seasons. Many customers own both.

    How warm is the vest?

    It uses 80/20 down insulation, the same down system as the Bridger Jacket, in a sleeveless cut. It keeps your core warm. Layer it over a flannel on cool mornings or under a shell when the wind picks up.

    How does the vest fit?

    Use the WaiR tool on this page for a personalized size recommendation. The Bridger is cut slim and tailored, so size up, especially if you plan to layer over heavier shirts. The leather softens and conforms over the first few weeks.

    Can I wear it under a jacket?

    Yes. The slim cut and sleeveless design layer cleanly under a leather jacket or shell on the coldest days, and over a shirt on milder ones.

    How do I care for it?

    Condition the leather every 3 to 6 months. Avoid machine washing. If wet, air dry naturally, never near direct heat. Store on a wide hanger.

    Is the leather waterproof?

    Lambskin is naturally water-resistant but not waterproof. It handles snow flurries and a light rain. In sustained rain the leather absorbs water and the down loses loft. Wipe dry promptly after wet weather.

    What's the warranty?

    A one year warranty covers stitching, hardware, and structural defects. Normal patina and wear marks are part of how the vest is meant to age and are not defects.
