Who needs sleeves, anyway? Give sleeves a rest day with our all-season men’s lightweight vests or our winter vests for men. Fleece vests, down vests, canvas vests—these practical styles will see you from fly fishing to climbing and what’s in between—and Patagonia makes work vests.

A men’s vest with pockets has room for essentials (like phone, keys, bug spray). Conquer the chore list in a classic men’s fleece vest. Keep your core warm while getting after it with a men’s insulated vest. When you know those layers will be going on and off all the way up the trail, consider a men’s lightweight vest.

Too much clothing ends up in landfills or incinerators, and we’re mindful of our role in that. We create made-to-last clothing and gear like our men’s puffy vests that will see you from hiking to biking to bouldering. When that men’s black fleece vest finally wears out, send it on its next journey with our Worn Wear program.

A vest alone does not a whole outfit make, usually. Depending on the elements you’ll be braving and the activities you’ll be tackling, you’ll want to carefully consider your various layers. Start with a solid baselayer top to wick moisture. For a mid- or outerlayer, maybe a versatile, windproof, water-resistant men’s puffer vest is all you need when paired with warm, rugged bottoms, or maybe you’ll be better off adding a long-sleeve shirt or lightweight jacket. Don’t forget accessories—like a beanie, cool-weather gloves and a gaiter. See you on the flip side.
