Vest Outerwear

There are all kinds of vest outerwear choices for every member of your family. Many of these vests are made from fleece, a soft and cozy fabric usually spun from polyester, acrylic or a blend of different materials. Fleece can be thin and lightweight, like microfiber fleece. However it also comes in thicker varieties like Sherpa fleece which has a furry pile. No matter what kind of fleece you prefer, you will find vests available for women, men, kids and even your dog.

One of the top makers of fleece is Columbia. For women, this company makes items like the Madison Softshell Vest. Available in White, Black, Dark Tundra and Chianti this vest is both practical and fashionable. It comes in sizes ranging from XS to XL to fit every woman's figure. It is ideal for spring and fall when you want moderate warmth and is perfect for layering. This is only one example of the offerings for ladies from Columbia. For guys, check out the Cathedral Peak Men's Vest. This collar vest features a full front zipper and zippered pockets, and is as stylish as it is useful.

The oldest woolen mill in the U.S. is Woolrich, who also makes plenty of vests for men, women and kids. Their Cedar Flats vest for women features a polyester shell that blocks 99% wind and is extremely water resistant. It comes in three stylish colors to ensure you'll look great even in the middle of the woods or on the slopes. Men might like the Dorrington Vest, also made from polyester and featuring a stand up collar made with Artic insulation. Like Columbia, Woolrich has a huge selection of products available.

Yet another vest outerwear manufacturer is Polartec. The inventor of synthetic fleece, this company is a leader in the industry and makes a wide variety of fleece items for men, women and kids. You might like the Chestnut Hill Unisex Microfleece Vest, perfect for both men and ladies. It features a cozy collar, full zipper and is breathable yet warm. Kids also have a variety of Polartec vests to choose from such as the Polartec 200 Molehill Vest. No matter what brand you choose you are sure to appreciate the cozy feel and superior warmth of a collar vest made from fleece when the temperature drops.
