Style guys and function guys tend to come together when it comes to the importance of a quilted vest. Relwen, known for their technical savvy and classic designs, is fully on-brand with their light-but-mighty Windzip Vest. As all good utilitarian menswear, it has a military field gear aesthetic, with its practical quilting and neutral, yet vivid, colorways. Even that cardinal red pairs nicely with jeans, chinos, or even over your suit without begging for attention. Plus, the slightly slimmer fit modernizes it a tad, without taking away from its timeless drape.
Effective on its own on chilly days, or under a jacket on frigid days, this vest is filled with a down alternative for insulation. However, the spandex-infused exterior (water resistant, naturally) ensures it’s breathable too. Add deep pockets that sink into the silhouette instead of bulking it up, and black oxidized hardware, and you’ve got a lifer for your closet.
