Leupold Arcus Insulated Vest

• 120G Synthetic Insulation: Delivers dependable warmth in cold weather without the heavy feel of a bulky outer layer, making the vest easier to wear while hiking, glassing, or working through changing terrain.
• Stitchless Quilting: Bonded baffles help retain heat and reduce wind penetration while keeping the outer surface smooth and low-profile, so the vest layers cleanly under a shell and resists snagging.
• Quiet Stretch Shell: The polyester-spandex fabric moves naturally with the body and stays quieter than stiff outerwear, which is useful when covering ground or making careful movements during a hunt.
• PFAS-Free DWR Finish: The water-resistant finish sheds light rain and snow, helping the vest stay comfortable in unsettled weather without adding unnecessary weight.
• Pack-Friendly Pocket Layout: High-set zippered hand pockets remain accessible under a pack belt or harness, so small essentials stay within reach when carrying gear.

About the Arcus Series

The Arcus series sits within Leupold field wear as a practical cold-weather layering line built for hunting and general outdoor use. Rather than relying on heavy, restrictive garments, the Arcus concept focuses on low-bulk insulation, weather resistance, and mobility. That makes the series well suited to hunters who need warmth while walking, climbing, carrying a pack, or spending long periods glassing in variable conditions.

Across the series, the emphasis is on materials that work in the field: synthetic insulation for dependable thermal performance, quiet face fabrics that are less distracting in close-range situations, and construction details that help the garment layer efficiently under outer shells. Features such as stitchless quilting, stretch fabric, and a PFAS-free DWR finish reflect a design approach aimed at balancing warmth, movement, and weather protection. In practice, Arcus garments are intended to bridge the gap between lightweight active layers and heavier insulated outerwear, giving users a versatile option for cool mornings, late-season hunts, and changing mountain conditions.

About the Leupold Arcus Insulated Vest

The Leupold Arcus Insulated Vest is designed for hunters and outdoor users who want core warmth without the extra bulk of full sleeves. Its 120G synthetic insulation concentrates warmth where it matters most while leaving the arms free for easier shouldering of a rifle, drawing a bow, or handling pack straps. That makes it a useful piece both as an outer layer in cool, dry weather and as a mid-layer when temperatures drop further.

The vest uses a quiet 4-way stretch shell that combines flexibility with a lower-noise surface, an important detail for active field use where stiff fabrics can become distracting. Stitchless quilting helps trap heat and cut wind while keeping the exterior smooth, so the vest slides more easily under a jacket and avoids the raised seams that can catch on brush or gear. The PFAS-free DWR treatment adds light weather protection for passing rain or snow, extending the vest’s usefulness in mixed conditions.

Practical details support real field use. High-set zippered hand pockets remain accessible when wearing a backpack or harness, and fleece lining adds comfort in cold conditions. The adjustable hem helps seal in warmth and refine the fit, while the regular cut keeps the vest easy to layer over a base or mid-layer. For cold-weather hunts where freedom of movement matters as much as insulation, this vest offers a focused, low-bulk solution.

About Leupold

Leupold & Volpel was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1907 by Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel. The company remains family-owned and is known for developing sport optics for hunting, shooting, and outdoor use. Its product range covers riflescopes, red dot sights, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders, and thermal optics, giving the brand a broad presence across both hunting and shooting equipment.

A key part of Leupold’s history in optics includes the introduction of its first riflescope, the Plainsman in 1947, followed by the Duplex reticle in 1962, a design that became widely recognized among hunters. The company later moved its manufacturing plant and headquarters to Beaverton in 1968, where Leupold & Stevens, Inc. is still headquartered today. Although best known for optics, the same field-focused approach carries into Leupold apparel and accessories intended for outdoor use.
