Description:  AYCE designed the Minima Vest with two main characteristics: minimum weight and bulk. With a finished weight as low as 4.5 oz*, the Minima Vest adds core loft while needing just 150 cc's of pack real estate. You decide how it best compliments your hiking style: wear it while hiking, use it to bulk up the loft of other items in colder weather, under your shell or in your sleeping bag... it'll be your go-to piece in all conditions. Plus making it yourself increases your self-reliance and liberates you from the aggressive marketing and high prices of commercial gear.

Every aspect of the Minima Vest has been designed for your success. Take a look at what you get with the kit:
  • Detailed online instructions** with 18 pictures. The Minima's streamlined construction is the best introduction to synthetic insulated apparel.
  • A full sized pattern including all seam allowances and design details
  • Your choice of shell and liner fabrics
  • A warm, durable layer of 3.0 oz Primaloft
  • Athletic and Relaxed Fit options on every pattern
  • Everything you need for the project except for thread, needles, and a sewing machine.
  • Phone and email support if you run into any snags
