Amazon Essentials Men's Lightweight Water-Resistant Packable Puffer Vest

I live in Colorado and have a job that is inside and out all day with unpredictable weather. This vest is perfect for me during winter and spring. Its seemingly light weight, yet keeps me warm on chilly days. So long as im not out in sub freezing weather for prolonged periods, it is ideal. Perfect fit and style. Just what i needed.

This is an amazing vest. I had to exchange it for a small since it runs a little large. However, it is comfortable, warm but not too warm, soft, packable, and well made. I actually like it much better than some of my more expensive vests like the ones from Patagonia. I liked it so much I bought 3 more. For the price of one vest from Patagonia you can get 4 or 5 of these. Plus they wash well. The pockets are nice too. I call it the Three Bears Vest: not too warm, not too cold, but just right.

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.

Essential item on a 2025 tour of 10 countries. Extremely lightweight to help meet baggage weight restrictions, compresses to a fist-size ball. Very warm and comfortable in cooler climates, or after sundown in tropical conditions.

Sizing was accurate. Good quality. Lightweight but very warm and comfortable. Due to the lightweight characteristic, I would not recommend this as a work clothing option. I wouldn't wear this around a campfire .

Nice puffy vest!

So at first I ordered an extra large assuming I could fit a sweatshirt under the vest. Delivery was the next day - wow. I thought that t extra large I’m just not that fat. So I guess I was wrong. I then returned the extra large and ordered the XX large. Again shipping was instantaneous. However, the vest seems way too big. No I did not lose a bunch of weight in the meantime. 😂.Seems that the sizing runs weird. The vests as between X and XX seem to be hat one to think would be as between X and XXX.That all being said, know that I also, at the same time bought the full jacket. The XX large fits just a bit to large, but acceptable enuf.
