Amazon EssentialsMen's Full-Zip Polar Fleece Vest (Available in Big & Tall)

It’s soft, lightweight, and provides just the right amount of warmth for cooler days. The fit is comfortable, and the full-zip style makes it easy to layer. Perfect for work, casual wear or outdoor activities.

I found many things to like about this Amazon Essentials Vest. The most important for me is the “fit”. I am 5’-11”, 165 lbs, on the slim side and the Medium fit me perfectly. It is snug, but not tight. The arm opening is just right and does not bind under the armpit, nor is it too loose and floppy. The shoulder width is also well-proportioned. Length is good, not too long. Seams are well-sewn, zippers work smoothly, side pockets are in the right place for you to put your hands in comfortably and are deep enough; a plus are the two inner pockets. The collar stands up or lays flat (and stays there) ,however you like.The only thing I didn’t like is the color I chose: the gray heather makes the vest look a bit dirty and ready for the wash. Speaking of which, I washed mine before wearing, and it did not shrink (cold water, very low dryer heat).The design is basic, not overly stylish, but I bought mine just to wear around the house. The material is on the thin side, but I didn’t want something too thick, heavy and stiff feeling. It has a nice plush feel, both inside and out, including the zippered pockets and is plenty warm enough for my purpose. I am glad I bought it!

The material is somewhat thin, and the zippers aren't robust. On the plus side, the pockets are deep and fit is good. Good enough for the price.

Great price, no obvious branding, solid zippers, and comfortable. Absolutely no complaints.

We know Amazon Essential is a bargain/value brand. But this vest was better than expected at this price ($17.43). I needed a vest for my work at a public school, to be worn casually and for warmth during cold days. This vest is comfortable and warm, and the quality while not premium, is very good. It has 2 zippered side pockets and 2 inner pockets for convenience. It fits nicely over my body and looks good too! If you need in inexpensive vest that will give you warmth, then this is a great choice! Recommended!

I was looking for a lightweight fleece vest to use before the really cold weather set in. The Amazon Essentials Men's Full-Zip Polar Fleece Vest is exactly what I was looking for.Although the material is listed as recycled polyester, it has the soft feel you would expect. The two outer pockets have zippers and the full zip front makes it easy to put the vest on and off.My usual size for jackets and sweaters is XL so I ordered this vest in XL and the fit is perfect. The Heather Brown is a nice color and it looks just as good with jeans as it does with dressier pants. You also can't beat the price.Overall, I think the quality is good. Time will tell how long it lasts but at this price, even if I just get a couple of seasons out of it, it is worth the money.

I have a 34 inch chest and am 5’6” (on a good day).I purchased the extra small and it has a great fit around the chest and the arm holes are the correct size; the only flaw in the fit is unfortunately a big one, it’s way the heck too long! Like, literally 6 inches too long. The center back measurement is 28 1/2 inches and the center front measurement is 22 1/2 inches. The Patagonia product (Men's Synchilla Fleece Vest) that this vest is trying to emulate has a center back measurement of 24 1/4 inches and a Center front measurement of 21 inches for their extra small. This seems to be a constant and continual theme for most all clothing manufactured for smaller framed ladies and gentlemen, like yours truly; it’s too long. The inappropriate length makes it look sloppy and gets in the way when doing outdoor or active activities. If the manufacture would fix the length, this would be a great fitting vest.A few other notes: this is not a super high-quality vest, BUT the price is more or less appropriate for the quality you’ll receive, so you’re not getting massively ripped off or anything (if you want something really high-quality, go pay the high-price for the Patagonia vest this product is modeled after). It’s very comfortable and the material is very thin. This is a light weight vest, for either not super cold weather, or a layer for layering with other clothing in the colder stuff.

I love this vest. This is exactly what I was looking for and it was honestly something I have been wanting to purchase for months and never did try to buy one and pulled the trigger on this one. I was a little worried as I've not always had the best luck with this brand but over the years I come back and try it again because I do feel like the quality on some items is over the top. This is one. So far I have had this for two weeks and wear it with mens heavy duty work shirts and spend about 80% of my day outside and wear this vest and it has kept me very warm and limber. It's soft and plush and the pockets and zipper just work. Nothing to fancy and it's also really good looking on me.I seriously broke the mold on good looks. Trust me. I'm a dr.
