The vest version of Patagonia's most-worn men's fleece — fleece-faced sweater-knit aesthetic, recycled-polyester construction, cut as a layering piece for the in-between weather where arms-free works best. Earns daily rotation across casual settings, weekend wear, and office-casual environments.
Built from 10-oz 100% recycled polyester knit fleece, dyed with a low-impact process that reduces dyestuff, energy, and water use compared to conventional heather dyeing. Trim and pocket bags are 5.3-oz 100% recycled polyester brushed tricot. Fabrics are bluesign® approved.
Standout features:
- Offset-shoulder seams — sit clear of pack straps and add long-term durability
- Full-length zipper with stand-up collar — zip-through with kissing-welt zipper garage
- Flat-seam construction — reduces bulk and eliminates seam chafe over long wear
- Vertically zippered chest security pocket — sized for a phone or audio device
- Two zippered welt handwarmer pockets — clean lines without bulk
- Soft brushed-tricot trim — on armholes and hem for added comfort
Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory in Sri Lanka, meaning the people who built it earned a premium for their labor. Low-impact dye process reduces dyestuff, energy, and water use compared to conventional heather dyeing.
Right pick for customers building a versatile mid-weight layering rotation. Wears as easily over a button-down for office settings, under a rain shell when weather turns, or as standalone outerwear on shoulder-season days. The vest cut delivers core warmth without restricting movement — useful for active outdoor work, weekend hikes, and casual everyday wear.
