LIM Barrier Insulated Vest

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Minimal in weight and design, this vest brings reliable warmth to streamlined kits.

Haglofs says: 

This is an incredibly low-weight barrier vest that’s been filled with the lightest solid material you can find – Primaloft® Aerogel. As such, it’s a perfect addition to our ultra-light, high performance L.I.M range. Despite its low weight, it’s capable of delivering superb protection from the elements and good breathability. You’ll find it hard to believe that such a lightweight item can provide such an instantaneous sensation of warmth, protection and comfort.

Our Verdict

Light, warm and made to move, this is a focused layer for those who want just enough insulation without excess bulk. The Haglöfs LIM Barrier Insulated Vest delivers impressive core warmth in a very stripped-back package.  At 175g (Medium), it uses PrimaLoft Aerogel insulation, which performs well even in cold, damp conditions, and feels warm the moment you put it on. The wind-resistant outer helps retain heat, while the elasticated armholes and hem keep things snug without restricting movement. There are no hand pockets, but the slim fit and low bulk make it ideal for wearing under a shell or over a light base layer. It’s a good “year-round” piece for ultralight layering, or stashing as an emergency warm layer.
