Why wear a vest?

A vest warms your core without trapping your arms: you keep your central heat while venting excess under effort. It's the ideal layer for mid-season and as a midlayer in winter, under a jacket.

Fleece or puffer vest?

• Fleece vest: warm, breathable and flexible, perfect for the outdoors and dry cold.
• Puffer (padded) vest: down or synthetic insulation, warm and packable for cold days.

By activity

• Running: a light, breathable vest blocks wind on the chest without hampering your stride.
• Outdoors / hiking: a warm fleece vest as a midlayer.
• Everyday: a versatile puffer vest over a sweater.

Our brands

Columbia for the outdoors, Smartwool for merino, Brooks for running and Under Armour for performance.
