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

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.

Perfect in every way. Awesome fit, perfect weight, incredible zippered pockets and large inside pockets for stashing gloves. Everything about this vest is ideal. The only outstanding question is durability and only time will tell. I bought 3 seperate colors. I wish every item Amazon Essentials put its lablel on was executed to this degree of perfection. If so Amazon Essentials would own the clothing market.

The was packed tight and flat so all the fill was smooshed .. I'm still trying to fluff it up The fill isn't what you'd call generous. THAT SAID will will easilly do the job The nylon cloth will absorb a little water but barely passes air. Suck or blow on cloth. THUS very windproof .. Ventolation will be through arms. I bought a medium knowing Large would not fit snug . I just barely fit in Med t-shirt It's exactly what I wanted except my body isn't 6'4 that would be the upper limit of length It blocks air . Thus a basic T can be worn down to 50f -- if blocks Wind ,, my core kept warm I visit a nearly 100 year old house that is far too costly to heat and I need something comfortable light and not restrictive . When I go outside I don't get the blast of cold air . Fill being low will change a bit as it fluffs up but it doesn't look like a Puffer.. VERY CHEAP . Nice materials . Zipper is durable enough for calm life. REALLY dark blue so fits into all occasions I'd buy it again at SUMMER PRICES . I'd look at brand names if I used it often .. cared about fashion .. found one that comes in TALL.. So length wasn't 1,5 inches more than ideal WE WILL SEE . . IT's crazy to think people running Nat Gas heating spend $350 / month in not terribly cold place 100 yr house and far too many windows.. it would be silly to complain about colder house ,, colder rooms. - COMPLAIN about NEWSOM TRIPPLING ENERGY COSTS and by DEMANDING everyone got to Electrictity - Climate extinction is a SCAM . Nat GAS IS BEING DELETED in POOR places in LA .. to improve their lives. HUH ? THEY WILL TURN OFF THE MAIN LINES for whole neiborhoods. .. VERY SAD state of the world

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).

Nice vest for those cooler days or as a supplement under a hoodie or jacket.

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!!

The color is a bit off, but overall good enough. Wouldn't pay more than $20 for this though. It's very compact when rolled up, quite warm. My biggest complaints would be the quality seems fairly low, and the sizing is definitely off. I got a small, and it fits like a baggy medium. If you're planning to wear it like the stock photo, with just a shirt, get a size smaller. There's enough room to fit a thin to medium thick jacket under it. Very plain style. It's good enough if you want something inexpensive and warm.

Addendum 10/24 I bought my first Amazon "puffer" vest last winter season, and it really helped to make many of the colder days more bearable. That first vest has held up perfectly - no popped seams, no busted zippers. During a recent "Prime Day" sale, they had these going for a very good price, so I got another on in a different color (Dark Olive Green). It's equally well made. Here's my original review: I wanted another lightweight layer to wear under my winter parka, and a friend suggested a "puffer" style vest. I've been happy with other Amazon Basics products, and this is the first piece of clothing I've purchased from their clothing line. So far, so good. First, Amazon suggest a large size, but I've always considered myself to be a "medium", without too much of a gut, so that's what I ordered. Glad I did, because the fit is perfect, IMHOP. It's close to my torso, but definitely not snug or constricting. The bottom hem is loosely elastic, and has no cinching. In the pictures, the vest appears a bit more "puffy" than what I got. Fine by me, I'll be layering this under my coat, and didn't want a lot of bulk. I got the dark red, and the vest is a wine colored burgundy, very close to the color that's shown on the website. It has a medium sized front zipper that extends all the way up into the collar. The outside pockets are decent sized, not too big, and also zippered. There are top load pockets on the inside of the vest (both sides) that have no closures. Quite happy with these vests - used as an extra layer under a coat or around the house, they're great! :)

Good medium weight vest
