Men’s Loose Fit Workwear Vest Fleece-Lined Durability Waterproof Mock-Neck Vest

Ver nice
Very comfortable functional and good quality vest

Thoughtfully designed
Thankfully, I was able to read another reviewers comment that these vests tend to be big. I would normally wear a large but ordered a medium. It’s a perfect fit for me; I have a 42 chest and 38 waist. I can wear a sweatshirt under it and it becomes slightly snug, which to me is perfect for a vest. The medium is a tad more difficult than normal to put my arms through the shoulder holes when first putting on. They could be a little bigger, but that may just be me.The quality at this price is impressive. The fabric and liner seem quite strong and durable, the stitching and trimming of random threads excellent, and the zipper is silky smooth. It has pockets galore and the two main pockect are double thick at the entry for both style and wear. The outer breast pocket is perfect for a phone, made very secure with a zipper. I got the Army Green, which is neither drab nor bright but still has a classy luster.My one complaint is the windproof fabric extension behind the zipper. That’s a good feature for a winter jacket or windbreaker, but I don’t see it as necessary for a vest. After all, if the wind is blowing it’s blowing in the shoulder openings as well. That’s where you’re going to lose your warmth, so the amount of heat loss at the zipper is insignificant. The downside of that fabric extension is it doesn’t allow the zipper to close to the neck without forcing the collar to close. I would rather let the collar lay flat and be neat when zipped up. You can see that in the attached photo. I like the feature of being able to zip up to the chin, but it would still warm the neck if they left that extension/flap off.I also like the weight of this vest. While not exactly heavy, it is not light and fluffy like a puffer vest. It came vacuum packed, very compact and tight. It’s been on a hanger for a week almost and the wrinkles have relaxed substantially. I don’t think I’ll wash it just to further eliminate wrinkles but just wear it and see how it goes.

Loose fit is the key in the item description – otherwise quite nice
I missed the “loose fit” part of the description and ordered my usual X-Large. When my package arrived and I tried it on I was disappointed in my selection because of the size. The vest I got is huge and I would have been better suited to order a large or possibly even a medium.They’re plenty long on your torso and fit well in that regard but the girth is larger than normal. With a XL I can hold the front of my vest out about 12″ in front of me when zipped up so order accordingly.What I like about the vest:1) It is a great value. The stitching looks sturdy the material is durable yet soft and pliable and the lining is comfortable.2) Other than running large in the chest size, the collar and length are comfortable and will be good in cool weather.Bottom line is that this is a good vest for the money but you may end up returning it for a size swap if you order your normal size. I’d start with 1 size smaller than normal and go from there.

Thick and heavy duty, a bit big.
I was surprised by how heavy duty it seemed. The lining inside isn’t overly puffy but still excels at retaining heat, the outside is made of a pretty heavy duty material that reminded me of thick denim. The zipper does seem to get stuck at the very bottom when trying to open it up. I also really like the multiple pockets so I have many different options for storing things. The vest is a bit on the big side though. The shoulder area is wide and a bit stiff so there’s always a pretty large gap around my shoulders. The bottom is also a bit wide so it doesn’t fit as snug as I expected. I wear 3x for all of my jackets, sweaters, vests, etc; but it might be a good idea to size down one size with this.
