Product Information

Who should steer clear of the Columbia? This fleece vest will add only a fraction of the warmth compared to a down or even a synthetic model. And although our Columbia products have lasted longer than anticipated, it’s good to have reasonable expectations with gear available at this price point. The fleece eventually will show wear, especially after a number of washings.

We test golf apparel in the same way we test all golf equipment, by using products properly. In relation to vests this means putting them to the test out on the golf course to see if the design actually works and if it sets out what it is designed to do. We would also wear the vests off the golf course as well because versatility to use a garment anywhere is a great way to get value for money. The final point we wanted to mention here is no manufacturer can pay for a good review because our thorough testing team tells it how it is. What to consider when buying a golf vest Conventional running wisdom tells us to start our run dressed for weather about 10- to 15- degrees warmer than the actual air temperature, but it’s hard to tell exactly how comfortable you’ll be once you get moving. Variables include wind, precipitation, terrain, output, and the general difficulty and length of the run. Enter the humble vest. A running vest (either insulated or a shell) is a key layering component, as it provides protection to your core through insulation, wind protection, or both, while allowing you to vent under your arms and with the front closure. Finally be aware of your budget so you can find a vest that fits into it nicely. Importantly there are models above which come with premium, and value price points so there is something for everyone. FAQs Can you play golf in a vest? Popular for both casual and active use, Patagonia brings it all together with the Down Sweater Vest. In terms of warmth, the vest is filled with 3 ounces of premium 800-fill down that will keep your core nice and cozy (it’s also certified to the Responsible Down Standard). The nylon shell fabric looks and feels great, repels light moisture, and comes in a wide variety of colorways from muted to bright. Bonus: With a recent update, the Down Sweater Vest's shell is now made from recycled fishing nets, which only adds to the all-around appeal. From wearing around the city to hiking and use as a midlayer for skiing, this vest pretty much does it all.

Brands like Patagonia and REI Co-op have been at the forefront of the sustainability push, but many other leading outdoor companies continue to make notable inroads year after year. For example, The North Face updated their ThermoBall collection recently to include 100% recycled materials and a PFC-free DWR finish (the same goes for their Nuptse Vest). Cotopaxi is also worth calling out directly as one of just a few outdoor brands that’s climate neutral-certified (along with REI), which means they continuously monitor their footprint and work to reduce emissions. In the end, how a vest is made may not be the deciding factor for some consumers, but we certainly appreciate when brands are transparent about their practices and go the extra mile in creating more sustainably built products.

If you live in the northern states, you’re well aware that spring, winter, and fall runs require strategic layering, especially at higher elevations. Getting the right layering can be a tough balance to strike, and while accessories like hats and gloves are handy to shed or put on based on output and temperature swings, your core layering is even more important to get right.
