Amazon Essentials Mens Lightweight Water-Resistant Packable Puffer Vest

Good fit and good quality. Nice for chilly to cold weather.

I got this vest for my dad, and it’s quickly become one of his go-to layers. The lightweight feel makes it easy for him to wear over a hoodie or flannel without feeling bulky, and the water-resistant fabric holds up well against light drizzle. The fit runs true to size, comfortable around the shoulders with enough room for layering underneath. My dad especially likes that it’s warm enough for chilly mornings but not overly puffy, so he can keep it on indoors without overheating. Another bonus is how packable it is, folds up neatly into a small bag, which makes it great for travel or tossing in the car. The zippers feel sturdy, and after a few washes it’s still holding its shape without any flattening of the fill. For the price, it’s a solid everyday vest that’s practical, lightweight, and surprisingly durable. Pro Tip: If you’re in between sizes, go up one for easier layering underneath.

Since I only paid $24 for this, it's a no-brainer. I bought a medium after reading concerns about it running wide. I'm 5' 10, 155 pounds with no gut, so the medium is perfect for me despite the fact that for jackets I would always buy a large because my shoulder are rather broad for my size. The medium fits over or under a medium fleece nicely. It's extremely lightweight and packable. It's perfect for that extra layer on a vacation just in case the temp drop. Quality seems fine, although only time will tell.

I didn't expect this quality. Bought two on a deals day. I wear vests every day all day and have come to have preferences. It's probably not the thickest or warmest but as a layer, or around a cool house it's perfect. It's really cold here this week in the Berkshires so I've only tried it as a layer outside. Around the house it's quite cozy! At 6' they're not short but generous in length. Stylewise they might be a bit long if you're on the short side. The pockets are huge, two outer with YKK zippers and two big inner. Even at full price I'd buy again, but I probably won't need to assuming the quality is as it appears to be. At 6',165 the size large is quite roomy which I prefer.

This vest is thin and I was skeptical about how warm it would be. I am pleased to say that it retains body heat well. The temperature today was not above 43°F and I was comfortable with just my flannel shirt and this vest. Being not as bulky as other puffer vest, it will fit well under my coat when the temperatures drop into the 20s and teens. It looks good and is well made, the size fits me well(5'11/ 195).

This review is for ladies who are shopping for a basic insulated / quilted vest. Gals - look no further! First of all, it's not frilly, not too puffy, not too long, not too short, and it's not bazillion dollars like most women's clothing. I'm 5'8" and it hits at my upper hip, which is perfect, and since it's not plump on the stuffing, I'm not in competition with a comfortable shirt or cute jewelry to dress it up some. It also doesn't keep me overly warm - its just right!!

I'm 6' 2"1/2 and this thing is too short for me. It's useable I support but is even shorter in the back. For reference I bought the xl. I'm athletic if build, around 215 pounds. A little more length and maybe I wouldn't need to return. It is a thin vest which I wanted. Good quality otherwise. Buy one at 15-16 short kings

Well made, comfy, and warm. Not overly thick, but certainly keep you warm, even in cold temps, and strong winds. Very happy with my purchase, and would highly recommend this vest.
