Amazon EssentialsMen's Lightweight Water-Resistant Packable Puffer Vest

Addendum 10/24I 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! :)

We bought the Earth Red, XL, fits perfect, color is great. My husband always turned his nose up at "puffer" vests and jackets. I bought him an EB one a few years ago and he liked it, now he wanted another one, but I longer work at a store where I could get one discounted. I found this one Amazon, the minute he put it on he was in love and within 5 minutes I was asked to order another in blue. Comparing this one withThe EB----R brand, he thinks this one is better made, appreciates the zipper in the front pockets, comfortable and light weight. Highly recommend.

Light and only medium-warm, but completely useful.The "light brown" version is a bit darker than the picture, which is fine with me because I thought it might be too light.My sizing is right between Medium and Small, and this vest's Medium is just a tad on the big side for me. I ordered a Small, it should work better.

I bought this for my husband who’s 6’2”, 190 lbs. Got him an XL and the fit and cut is perfect. He wears it around the house and everywhere else. We live in Southern California but the weather has cooled enough. Keep in mind this vest isn’t for the northern states, because it is lightweight. It really does look good on him. Fantastic quality and great price. He’s a happy camper 😃.

I love this vest. I purchased the first vest wearing it every day. I was so impressed I purchased another one in a different color. Watch out I have 3 now. The fit of each is perfect and the vest is durable and warm.

This vest has many features, extra pockets, the outside pockets have zippers. It is very warm, light and made well.

Nice color and fits very good

The vest is incredibly lightweight, which makes it easy to pack and carry around. The material is water-resistant, which is great for outdoor activities in light rain or mist. The puffer design also provides a decent amount of warmth without feeling bulky or heavy.However, there are also some negatives to this vest. The sizing is somewhat inconsistent, which can make it difficult to find the right fit. I found that the sizing chart was not always accurate, and I had to exchange my vest for a different size. Additionally, while the vest does provide some warmth, it's not enough for very cold temperatures or harsh weather conditions.
