Product Information
Full details
The North Sails Explorer Vest is a versatile, lightweight outer layer designed for active children who need extra warmth without the bulk of a full jacket. Perfect for transitional weather and outdoor play, this vest offers a durable nylon construction that stands up to daily wear, though it lacks sleeves, meaning it is best suited as a layering piece rather than a standalone garment for extreme cold.
