Women’s Outdoor Vests

Vests are the perfect outerwear accessory when the weather starts to cool. When you’re active in colder weather, you may not need the added bulk of a full jacket, so a vest is an attractive compromise. Wearing a vest will help you preserve your core temperature, which will keep your extremities warm without having to bundle up.

Women’s vests for layered warmth

During transitional seasons like spring and fall, it’s important to maintain warmth and comfort. Heavy jackets can cause overheating and sweating, which may lead to an uncomfortable chill. You can layer a vest with sweaters, hoodies, and lightweight jackets to stay comfortable and preserve range of motion for your arms.

Popular materials for women’s vests

There are plenty of popular materials to choose from when shopping for a womens’ vest. While fleece is one of the more common fabrics for vests, it can take time to dry if it gets wet. Rip-stop polyester is a great, quick-drying option for wetter days. Some brands like The North Face even feature recycled fabrics for a more eco-friendly approach to staying warm.

Insulated vests

On chilly days, an insulated vest is ideal. Down insulation is a common material in vests, and it’s popular for its lighter weight and collapsibility. For a more vegan-friendly approach, synthetic insulation will keep you warm even when it’s wet.  

PrAna and The North Face both offer a range of great insulated vests designed for the perfect mix of warmth and fashion.

Useful features in vests

When it comes to selecting the right women’s vest, material and insulation are just the tip of the iceberg. Handy features like chenille fleece linings, zip-entry pockets, hem-cinch cords, funnel-style collars, and stretch-grid side panels make these vests even more functional for outdoor sports and activities.

If you plan to layer bulkier sweaters underneath your vest, look for one with a more relaxed cut. If under layering isn’t your focus, there are plenty of sleek form-fitted vests to choose from.

Top brands for women’s vests

Shopping with top brands means shopping with the peace of mind that you’re investing in a quality garment. Popular makers like PrAna, The North Face, Marmot, Fjallraven, and Sierra Designs offer great guarantees on their products and work hard to develop gear that will stand up to whatever activities you have in mind.
