WoolrichMen's Elite Polyester Fleece Tactical Vest

Perfect for consealed small pistol S&W body gaurd

I already owned the Woolrich Tactical Elite Parka and needed either a fleece vest or jacket to go with it. After a lot of thought, I went with the vest. As you would expect, the vest goes perfectly with the parka. Although I've read comments on the parka that in should have a zip-in liner, after using the vest I disagree. I live in an area that can have 40 degree temperature shifts over the course of a few hours (happened in the last week). Having them separate works great with optimzing the layering effect depending on the environmental conditions.The vest and jacket are almost identical except for the arms, so a lot of features I like in the vest are also in the jacket. I especially like the accessory loops in the vertical zippered compartment. The loop safely secures and supports a small handgun (I tested with a S&W J frame revolver) without the need for a separate holster. Woolrich made some great "tactical" design decisions in creating this vest. Highly recommended.

My Woolrich Tactical Elite Vest arrived at my hotel yesterday and I've worn it since. I was caught without a proper outerwear for the Washington DC weather and Woolrich came through with expedited delivery. This is a great vest. It makes the perfect companion to the Woolrich Tacical Elite Parka. High-quality construction. Thoughful design features make it as useful for commuting as it is for tactical operations. I am thoroughly delighted with the vest-parka combination. The size is true-fitting, the zippers are all smooth as silk and operate without hinderance wearing gloves. I'm going to get a lot of wear out of this vest. Thanks Woolrich!

I did not understand exactly what made this vest "Tactical". Among the other features in the description, my favorite and most useful feature is the fact that the back portion of the vest is about 1.5" longer, which is very useful in concealing inside the wastband carry. Heavy duty piece of clothing.

High quality Woolrich vest, very warm, great pockets. I can carry my J Frame with no problem, comfortably. The extra kicker was when I opened the package, there was a wrapped gift in it. When I unwrapped it, it was a Woolrich scarf ! Thanks Woolrich !

The zipper failed the VERY first time I wore it. I had intentionally bought it slightly large to keep layering options open. This was not a case of over-taxing the garment by stuffing myself in a too small size. What the hell happened to this company?? I still have Woolrich garments of my Dad's that my kids will end up wearing! And to think I had wanted to wear this vest for concealed carry concealment. No chance of that happening. This was money wasted.

Fits well and good quality. I like all the pockets and it keeps me warm. Sizing seems to be fine, I ordered an XL and I'm 6 - 2

fits great and is warm for its weight. lot of features not readily apparent on first usage. look forward to wearing it in the future.
