The Second Light Vest is built for the power user who needs light and fast resistance to all of the elements—wet to windy—during long runs and rides. Meridian™ stretch mini-rip with a DWR finish sheds weather, while reflective piping increases roadside visibility at dawn or dusk. A double drop-in back pocket balances the left/right lumbar load and includes a security zip to prevent unexpected loss on the descent. The piece packs small into its own pocket for easy stashing and stowing on trail runs or road rides.
Meridian™️ is a 20 denier mini-ripstop nylon with mechanical stretch by construction. This extremely lightweight fabric provides excellent wind resistance and the DWR coating resists weather.
We completely offset the footprint of each order through our commitment to being climate neutral. As part of our mission we value being good caretakers of the mountain life and protecting the places where we play.
We are committed to building garments that are durable, timeless and continue to perform season after season. Over 50% of our product line incorporates preferred materials, which include organic cotton, recycled materials and responsibly-sourced down. We are committed to growing our preferred materials usage to 75% by 2025.
We believe a circular commerce system will design out waste and pollution, allowing for used clothing to be renewed and put back into use. Stio Second Turn™️ is our gear renewal program that allows customers to trade in and shop used apparel.
