Overall very pleased with this vest& would definitely recommend it. Had it on under a windbreaker jacket& kept it on Medium setting for about 2. 5 hours at the soccer match. The temp outside was around 40 degrees& I stayed comfortable. The Large was a bit more snug fitting than I was expecting.

This is a great adjustable reflective running tool. I bought this bc I had one of those fancy light up vests but kept running out of batteries. I love that this is adjustable, reflective, and can be used in any weather/temperature. It also is minimal so no worries about chafing.

I bought this to take my dog on evening walks. The fit is a little snug for my size, but it is easy to put on and adjust. The hook mechanism is easy to use and seems sturdy. Simple design.

Perfect mid- layer fit. I 'm 195lbs/ 6' 3 ''/ XL. It is a mid- layer fit though! goes great over most mid- layers( fleece, light insulation, or fitted sweater) with the limiting factor being the size of the arm holes. Also fits great under heavier outer layers and adds a significant amount of warmth. Love the double zip. Simple, functional, and stylish piece.

5 David
[ Been researching and buying a lot of vest getting ready for winter. This is the best mid/heavy weight vest I ’ ve found. Great colors and fit.

5 The Happy Woodsman
[ I like the look and feel of this vest. Like all of my Fjallraven clothes it fits well. I am 6' 1 '' and 200lbs and I bought the XL which fits perfectly with a flannel shirt or sweatshirt under it. I wish it had an inside pocket, but other than that I would buy this again. really nice to wear around hiking because its warm and light.

5 Sudsy
[ Very fine workmanship and finish. Has a great fit and feel; soft yet tough with a good puff without being too puffy or bulky. Very good zippers. Very comfortable! Wish there was one in a dark matte black, I would buy a second vest.

5 Mike
[ The Nike Metro Vest impressed me right away. The fit is true to size, which made the overall experience even better, no guessing, no adjusting, just a clean and accurate fit. It sits comfortably on the body without feeling tight or oversized, making it easy to layer over a hoodie or long sleeve. In terms of comfort, this vest is honestly one of the better ones I ’ ve tried. It ’s lightweight yet warm, and the material feels smooth and durable. You can tell Nike put thought into the design because it moves with you instead of restricting you. Whether you ’ re walking around, running errands, or just throwing it on for casual style, it feels good all day. The look is simple, modern, and easy to pair with pretty much anything. It gives you that clean Nike aesthetic without trying too hard. Overall, the Metro Vest is a solid piece — comfortable, true to size, and confidence- boosting. I definitely recommend it.

5 Solemate
[ This vest is very cozy! It is pretty thick( yet lightweight) and will certainly keep me warm during the winter months. It's nice on days when I want some added warmth, but do n't want to wear a jacket or coat. A great transitional piece. So far, I have worn it a couple of ways- with a fitted long sleeve t- shirt( pictured) and with a thick hoodie. It worked very well both ways! It does fit on the looser side. For size reference, I 'm petite 5' x 1 '' and have this in size XS. For a more fitted look, I probably could have sized down. One feature I like about the vest is the bottom drawstring as I am able to cinch it for a more fitted look. The side zippered pockets allow me to secure my items without needing to worry about them slipping out. Overall, I highly recommend it!

5 BlackHillschill
[ What I love most about this vest is how it instantly elevates my everyday look. The style has a clean, modern vibe that makes even a simple outfit feel more put together. On colder mornings here in Rapid City, I wear it when I drive to work and it gives me just the right amount of warmth without feeling bulky. I work in a customer- facing role, so looking neat and professional is important to me. This vest helps me do that effortlessly. It layers really well over my work tops and gives me a polished look as soon as I walk in the door. The fit is flattering and comfortable, and it keeps me warm without overheating once I 'm inside. Overall, this vest has become one of my go- to pieces. It keeps me warm on the way to work, helps me look put together for customers, and fits perfectly into my everyday style.

5 Nessa07
[ If you ’ re looking for something lightweight but still warm, I really think you ’ d like the Nike Metro Vest. It ’s super easy to throw on over a hoodie or long sleeve, and it never feels bulky. The insulation is just enough for cooler days, and the fit is comfortable without getting in the way. For everyday use like commuting, running errands, heading to the gym. I ’ d definitely recommend it.

5 NeonShoeLover16
[ This is my first puffer vest. I usually wear a slimmer top layer, but this vest is warm! I got a Large, but could probably fit a Medium better. I knew I wanted to wear a layer( or two) underneath and sized up. This vest( and my added layers) would have fit fine as a medium. I 'm on the shorter side, around 5' 3, and this was a great length. The pockets are well lined and warm. The zipper is smooth and the flap covering it does n't let the cold air through when snapped. My only dislike was cold air coming in the sleeves, but that is a vest- related risk, regardless. Great style and it will get a lot of wear.

I received my men's small Ghost Whispered 2 vest today. Weight is 5. 1oz. It's the same fine quality of my Ghost Whisperer 2 sweater that weighs 8. 0 oz. They are roomy enough for layers under and the most packable layers that I own. Kudos to MH for a home run.

It's lightweight. Stays in place. I do n't even know I 'm wearing it. Works with tank tops and winter jackets. Does n't interfere with access to pockets. It's reflective and brightly colored rather than relying on LED batteries for visibility. I decided to buy one after I saw a neighbor in one, and she was visible from a good distance.

I purchased mainly for cold archery treestand sits in PA. I wear the vest over a tech base layer followed by whatever layers needed to fit the morning or evening sit. Easy access chest control keeps it simple. Heat range from the vest keeps me comfortable. I switch it on once I settle in the stand and switch off again before my descent.

I wear my vest to NFL games here in Buffalo so it better be good. I wore it for several hours last Sunday without a problem and it was very cold out. I was n't sure if the battery would escape the metal detectors so I put the battery in my boot and hook it up once I 'm in the stadium.

It is still too warm in Texas to wear my new vest, but fall is coming and I am getting prepared. I spend a great deal of time outdoors and in a horse barn. This vest will be great for keeping me comfortable in early fall weather and layered under jackets later on. The fabric is lovely and soft and the construction is quality. Being sleeveless does not restrict movement. Thank you for this!!

5 Bill V.
Great vest for travel! Comfortable at a wide range of temperatures

5 Nick N.
Ever since I bought my first free fly apparel I immediately wanted them to make a vest. This vest is incredibly comfortable and warm. Now I really want them to make one with a hood as well.:)

5 Jeffrey T.
Perfect gift! So soft and comfortable. I have the zip fleece jacket. My son is going to love this for cool Texas mornings this fall and winter.

5 Hayden C.
It is one of the best vest ever. While it was a little expensive it was well worth the cost. I wear it with so many outfits and it is so comfortable and presentable.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband. He was looking for a thin vest to work over long sleeve button up shirts. This is the perfect weight for that purpose. I will update review once he ’s had the opportunity to open his gift and try it out!

5 Jim50
[ It ’s far too warm to try this out here in the southeast yet, but I am impressed. It weighs little( comparable to a down vest), fits great( Medium, 5 ’ 7 ”, 155 lbs), and packs down small. It ’s just what I wanted for some emergency warmth when I ’ m out in the woods. I wanted synthetic insulation because we don ’ t have that dry cold of the frozen north in which down excels; I ’ m more likely to be cold and damp.

5 Michael
Just that extra touch of warmth maybe a little bit more and without the bulk. Its feather light. Needs a chest pocket but zippers and extra material add weight I get it. Glad I purchased this vest as it is easily a quick grab go to especially with the mild winter so far in the PNW. It will be with me every time I am carrying a day pack as well while skiing.

5 Cubiclex
[ Just purchased the Superstrand LT vest. Absolutely love it. It's weightless and I forget I am wearing it!

5 Reid
I 'll admit when I picked this vest up I was a little hesitant on its warmth keeping abilities do to its light weight and fragile feel. Let's just say I was very impressed how well it works to keep me warm. This is a great little vest. I would think the full sleeve jacket version would be too warm for me on a regular basis in the spring time in the PNW so this is perfect for my needs of casual walking around and hiking in 40- 50 degree weather. Over 55 degrees walking around I start sweating with this and a long sleeve shirt on. Very happy with this purchase.

For starters, it's really cute and comfy overall. I 'm glad prAna has a shorter vest than previous years. It's not too short though, I 'd say just the right length. Ca n't wait to wear this in the colder months and absolutely love the sherpa lining.

[ This new life vest is really comfortable. The material is super soft leaving no worries about chaffing. The zipper is nice in that it keeps the vest in place and adds some extra comfort. I can even talk my teens on keeping this safely and properly on for long periods of time.

[ Firstly, this vest meets all safety requirements for using on open water, which is important when we are boating, tubing, and jet skiing on the lake. Secondly, the quick dry material is great but the softness of the vest was an awesome surprise. Blue and white camo color looks sharp.

5 Virgie13
[ I bought this to use during our little summer vacation. Excited to use these at the lake. The product is amazing and great quality. It is absolutely perfect and definitely a must have. I definitely recommend this. My kids are already wearing these around the house. They fit amazing and really nice and secure.

I bought this hydration vest to replace one that I had for a while and although it is a bit of a different stye, it is a great vest. It does n't boune and fits perfect. I am athletic build and weigh 190lbs and it fits perfect. It is one size fits all but my wife, who is 5' and 112lbs can not wear this vest, it is way too big. Just for reference.

Frequently Asked Questions For Light Vests

Light vests provide an additional layer of warmth without the bulk of a heavier jacket, making them ideal for transitional weather. They are versatile and can be worn over long sleeves or under outerwear for extra insulation. Additionally, many light vests are designed to be breathable, allowing for comfort during physical activities.

Light vests are often made from synthetic materials such as polyester or nylon, which are lightweight and durable. Insulation options may include down or synthetic fills that provide warmth without adding significant weight. Some vests also feature water-resistant or windproof coatings to enhance their performance in varying weather conditions.

Light vests are perfect for layering during fall and spring when temperatures can fluctuate throughout the day. They are also great for outdoor activities like hiking, running, or cycling, where you may need extra warmth without overheating. Additionally, they can be worn in colder climates as a mid-layer under a heavier coat.

Light vests are designed to provide warmth primarily to the core while allowing for greater freedom of movement in the arms. Unlike heavier jackets, they typically lack sleeves and are less insulated, making them more suitable for active pursuits or milder weather. This design helps to balance warmth and mobility.

Yes, light vests are excellent for layering due to their slim profile and lightweight construction. They can be easily worn over a long-sleeve shirt or under a heavier jacket, providing added warmth without bulk. This versatility makes them a popular choice for various outdoor activities and changing weather conditions.
