A vest can be an uncomplicated extra layer or a place to carry small items securely. Bighorn’s snap front addresses the simple layering format. Hunter Loft has two documented zipped hand pockets and owners who specifically value their depth and closure.
Is pocket storage part of the purchase?
If yes, bring the intended item to Hunter Loft’s fitting: one wearer praises deep zipped pockets and Laura describes roomy storage. If no, those pockets should not persuade you to tolerate its reported chest restriction or unwanted waist flare.
Bighorn’s original record is much smaller. Nathan describes his wife carrying it for camp and town; it does not establish equivalent pocket capacity. The Bighorn page and Hunter Loft page both use 80g fill language without a comparable total/area basis. Matching numbers cannot settle warmth.
