Drake Men’s LST Camo Down Vest

The LST Down Vest keeps you warm where it counts the most. The outer Refuge HS fabric is water-resistant, so it can be worn as outerwear on days with intermittent showers – or wear it under your waterproof/breathable outerwear to add maximum insulation on your body’s core while maintaining full freedom of movement in your arms.

Nothing insulates like goose down, and waterfowl hunters have trusted it for decades to keep them warm in the coldest temps. Goose down insulation is the best insulator available because of its unique three-dimensional structure. This structure creates thousands of tiny air pockets that trap warm air and holds it inside the insulation, creating a barrier of warmth between you and the cold air outside. Goose down is also extremely resilient and maintains its loft longer than man-made insulations.

About Drake Waterfowl

In late 2002 Drake set out to create the best waterfowl hunting clothes on the market. They knew immediately that a standard warm coat wouldn’t be near enough to impress the hard-core hunters that spend day after day in the field. They needed something to meet every condition a hunter can face… they needed a “SYSTEM”. This was the beginning of Drake Waterfowl Systems.

With hunting season ranging anywhere from 60 degrees to minus 10 degrees, it is all too easy to over-dress or under-dress. Over-dressing not only leads to over-heating, it also hinders mobility, which can become very aggravating when trying to make an overhead shot or simply walking to the blind. Under-dressing can be even more punishing. If any hunter has ever made an early morning boat ride in freezing temps without a windproof coat, they know exactly what miserable is. With all the different changes in the weather, there is another factor all other companies seem to overlook and that is YOU. Are you an inactive, active, or hyperactive hunter? Some people are “hot-natured” while some are “cold-natured”.

To answer all these questions and solve the obvious problems, Drake Waterfowl came up with a “SYSTEM”. Separated into three main categories, there is EST (Early Season Technology), MST (Mid Season Technology) and LST (Late Season Technology).
