Comments about REI Windbrake Thermal Fleece Vest - Men's:

I frequently wear vests to comfortably carry keys, wallet and cell phone. This one is definitely a step up from my current fleece vest. The microfleece has an almost smooth, refined appearance and the internal "wind-break" fabric gives it some added strength to avoid the saggy pocket look. I'm not sure about the label "heavyweight" fleece, it is good quality but I've seen heavier. That said, I like the fleece weight, it's perfect for casual and winter wear.
I first ordered the size large as I'm a size 42 chest and that is the cut-off between size medium and large. As I frequently wear vests under a coat, it felt too loose but would have been the right size for a jacket. The medium was a perfect body fit. With a vest you don't have to worry about sleeve length or fitment. So, if your almost between sizes on the sizing chart, I'd recommend getting the size smaller. (the REI model is also wearing a snugger fit than a jacket might be). Good product.

Comments about REI Windbrake Thermal Fleece Vest - Men's:

This is a great product except for one thing. If you wear it without any sleeves, the big bold zippers right on the sides scratch the insides of your arms. I wore it for a day to make sure I wouldn't get used to it. I even tried removing the zipper pulls. My arms were very irritated by the end of the day. The pocket zippers need to be coverd with a flap or moved towards the front. The other brands did one of those. I ended up with The North Face equivalent. Except for the zippers, I prefered the REI vest.

Comments about REI Windbrake Thermal Fleece Vest - Men's:

Really like this fleece. It zips into my Marmot Jacket and keeps me exceptionally warm. The fit is definitely tailored, but still very nice. It would have been nice if they added a zipper pull on the chest pocket. Overall very pleased with my purchase.
