荊棘背心

Took this out on a long weekend hike through brambly trails and the Bedford-cord shell shrugged off every snag without a tear. The stretch makes it easy to move in when reaching for gear, and it's held up better than vests twice the price.

The stretch in the Bedford-cord shell is what sold me—it moves with me when I’m reaching for gear or bending down to tie a boot, and it’s held up on two muddy trail days without a scratch. Feels tough but not stiff, exactly what I wanted for field work.

The stretch in the Bedford-cord shell is the standout—it moves with me when I'm reaching and bending instead of binding up. I've worn it on three cold mornings so far and it's held up perfectly without any wear.
