33,000ft Men's Lightweight Softshell Vest - Fleece Lined Windproof TPU

Our review of the 33,000ft Men's Lightweight Softshell Vest finds it best suited for active men who want a warm, flexible layer without bulk. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a fleece lining with a waterproof, breathable 3-layer construction that keeps core warmth while allowing movement. The vest feels light on the body, stands up to breezy conditions, and has more useful pockets than most casual outer layers, so it works well for golf, hiking, running or everyday outdoor tasks.

Key Features

• 3-layer construction: The outer softshell, TPU membrane mid-layer and inner fleece lining deliver a balance of waterproof protection and retained warmth without heavy insulation.
• Waterproof and breathable: The fabric provides strong wet-weather defense while allowing moisture to escape so the wearer does not overheat during activity.
• Seven pockets: Two zip hand-warmer pockets, two chest pockets, an inner zip pocket and two patch pockets give secure, organized storage for phone, wallet and gloves.
• Range of motion: Smooth, stretchy fabric and elastic armholes reduce restriction and support a full golf swing or active layering under a shell.
• Windproof softshell: The outer fabric resists stains and abrasion and blocks wind to keep the core warm on cool days.

Who It's For

The vest is ideal for men who play golf, run, hike or work outdoors in fall and mild winter conditions and want a lightweight, warm mid layer that does not inhibit movement. It suits anyone who values practical storage and prefers a trim, slim fit that can be worn over a hoodie or base layer.

Men seeking heavy insulating parkas for very cold temperatures or those needing a technical mountaineering shell with hard-shell waterproofing and full hood coverage should look elsewhere; this vest is designed as a flexible, windproof mid layer or outer layer in cool to chilly weather.

Pros & Cons

Is the vest warm enough for winter?
The fleece lining and windproof outer trap heat well, but for freezing conditions it is best used as a mid layer under a heavier jacket.
