Hi everyone!
Being a mom to a two year old means being on the move all the time. My daughter loves to play outside and who am I to say no to that?! Now that fall is upon us we have to start dressing warmer, but you warm up quite fast when you’re running after (or from) a toddler. That’s where my Arc’teryx Narin Vest in Quartz ($270 CAD / $225 USD) comes in. It’s perfect to go play outside with my daughter; it keeps my core warm and keeps me cool at the same time.
Arc’teryx is a Canadian brand based out of Vancouver, BC.
At Arc’teryx, the goal is to create equipment that enables a person to be immersed in the moment of doing, regardless of external conditions. Simple solutions to complex challenges; this is the essence of minimalism and our philosophy of design. Reducing the effects of weather, streamlining use, and moving efficiently creates a timeless, outdoor experience.
The brand is named after ARCHAEOPTERYX LITHOGRAPHICA, the first reptile to develop the feather for flight. How cool of a name is that?!?
The Narin Vest is described as a lightweight, casual, hooded down vest with clean urban style. The vest really is lightweight, it’s like I’m not wearing anything at all. And it feels SO SOFT, that’s the first thing I noticed when I touched it.

This vest is great for playing outside with my daughter and it also pairs perfectly with jeans for when I’m out and about.
Arc’teryx offers a wide range of outerwear, sportswear, accessories, and lifestyle clothing. Check their website to find a store near you or see if they ship to your country.
How are you keeping warm this fall?

My climbing buddies back home in Newfoundland wore Arc’teryx for years (and still do). Then one of them went on to be one of their designers! Love that it’s becoming a ‘bigger’ brand. The vest looks awesome on you.
Thank you Nancy!
That’s so cool about your friend being one of their designers! They have really beautiful pieces and I have my eyes on quite a few!
That is an awesome vest – I love that it has a hood! Totally outside my price range because we have such a short fall season here usually, but it looks amazing on you!
Thank you Rebekah!
I didn’t get to wear it for too long, but it will definitely get lots of use in the years to come.
