The Arc'teryx Cerium Vest delivers game-changing warmth without the weight penalty that typically comes with premium insulation. Built for backcountry minimalists who count every gram, this ultralight down vest packs an impressive punch with 850 fill European white goose down strategically mapped alongside moisture-resistant Coreloft synthetic insulation in high-sweat zones. At just 7.1 oz, it compresses down to nearly nothing in your pack yet transforms into essential core warmth when temperatures drop during rest breaks, at camp, or as a crucial midlayer in your cold-weather system. The trim fit slides seamlessly under your shell or over base layers without the bulk that compromises mobility, while the adjustable hem drawcord locks out drafts when you need to seal in every bit of heat. Whether you're pushing through alpine approaches, settling into camp after a long day, or simply need reliable everyday insulation that won't weigh down your pack, the Cerium Vest proves that you don't have to choose between ultralight performance and uncompromising warmth.
