This is a light weight sleeveless fleece which is ideal over a jumper or sweatshirt just for that bit extra warmth. Ordered a medium and the fit is good and the quality look to be good so should last a few years.

Until recently, I had been getting a lot of grief from the guys at the Tech startup I work for in San Francisco. I had made the mistake of walking in on my first day wearing nothing on my torso but a Banana Republic sweatshirt. Jared and all the other tech bros blew Juul clouds on my face while calling me such slurs as “soyboy” and “Adam Neumann”.
As I wept silently in the bathroom stall, the MD came in. He said “Son, you’ll never be one of the boys until you cop yourself a sick Patagonia fleece. Or at least get yourself an LL Bean, for Pete’s sake!”. I knew he was right; I would never be respected by the Chads of the software company until I donned that sexy, fuzzy uniform that sets us, tech bros, apart from the remaining underlings of society.
Unfortunately, having spent most of my $7000 salary on a bunk in a luxury dormitory (sorry, Tech bros only), I was, to my embarrassment, unable to acquire said sick fit. I was about to hand in my resignation out of shame when I came across this life-changing fleece vest, here on Amazon. Alas, Papa Jeff had come to save the day. Tell me, ladies and gents, is there a more Alpha Tech bro move than buying a vest from a trillion-dollar valuation tech company?
The minimal design allows for no distractions from coding, while the deep pockets are just big enough to fit a Juul with pods and charger AND the rolls of cash I’ll be using to pay my rent at the end of the month, if I don’t get held up by a homeless person on the way.
Truly, an Amazon Essential. 10/10

Not bad. Fit is good on this fast and the gray color is nice. It is a light grey. The positives are that the pockets are in a nice place and don’t make the front of the vest stick out. That said I do think that the middle is quite roomy . The vests it’s about an inch on to the hip. It is not a super long best so if you’re looking for a long vest this is not for you. In the picture my boyfriend is wearing a large. He has a 44 inch chest, so hopefully this can give you an idea depending on the size of jacket you wear on what size would be appropriate. The downside is that I feel that the fleece is not the best quality however it was $20 so it is as what you would expect for that price point. It is not super thick and somewhat lightweight but it will keep you warm over a t-shirt without adding bulk.

For $20 you get a average quality vest. It’s about 1/3 of the quality of other branded fleece vests that are double the price or more.
For $2 more you can get the same brand and style of a fleece jacket.
My biggest dislike is the material is thinner than other brands I have that didn’t cost that much more.

I got this as a bargain vest in lieu of a Joe’s USA vest (which I recommend over this despite nearly twice the price)
This vest doesn’t have much elasticity in the bottom hem, and the one I got felt a bit long, not a dealbreaker but certainly one star off: does it cost that much to add a drawcord?
The edges of the zippered pockets are sewn onto the vest as well, so the result is neither swishing pockets, as well as producing two “hidden” dump pickets on the inside that are deep enough to store things like folded paper or phones. Doesn’t stretch, so perhaps not a 7″ phablet.
The pocket zippers do not come with pull cords, whereas the main zipper does. Just saying.
As for the fleece, it’s okay, definitely thinner than others, but not so thin you think the cheapest Chinese guys making these were thinking to cut costs to the extreme. It doesn’t substitute a fleece jacket or anything, but it adds one layer of warmth if the only jacket you got during laundry day isn’t cold enough by itself.
The colour is a bit less navy and more royal blue compared with all the navy coloured clothes I have.
Overall I think it is okay, but I would buy a Joe’s USA vest next time due to more feature and slightly thicker fleece. I mean, being Amazon Essentials it’s meant to be a bargain version of something.

I had been looking for a lightweight gilet to replace a Galvin Green (premium manufacturer) garment I have worn to death.
I had trouble finding gilets to replace it as they all seem to be now geared more towards outdoor wear and I wanted to be able to wear something warm yet comfortable inside and outdoors…
I saw this on Amazon with Prime delivery and was amazed at the quality of the fabric, it is lightweight but the fleece is a good thickness, it even feels warm to the touch and an added bonus are the two zipped pockets.
The collar is also really tidy and stylish – as is the garment – and really well-made… I have already ordered a second one and would highly recommend this product without hesitation.

I have to work with nothing below my elbow and rolled up sleeves of pullovers kept slipping down, this is ideal and also adds an extra warm layer under my fleece without making it too bulky to move.

I really like this Amazon Essentials Men’s Full-Zip Polar Fleece Vest, so much so that I’ve already ordered a second one. Its perfect for wearing on cooler autumn/spring days over a long sleeve t-shirt or under a jacket/coat, or just around the house. It a nice weight…not too heavy and well made. Oddly the zip connects connects to do up the opposite way to what I’m used to (I always thought ladies’ wear did up one way and men’s the other) but I’m used to that now. It still gets 5 stars from me. I’ve paid twice as much for similar fleece vests that aren’t any better.

Love this vest for wearing around the house all day. Given the low price, I don’t have to worry about it getting messed up and I can buy more without breaking the bank. It is a little larger at the lower side (around the abdomen/upper torso area) and not very flattering like athletic fitting vests. Conversely, this will be a good choice to hide those “tires” of your body type is less than perfect, lol. Great buy overall!

This vest fits as most medium vest do. The zipper and pockets are as expected. It does not have a cord at the base to cinch it. Overall I like it but the fabric is the short fall. It pills as soon as it was worn. It continued shedding fabric pills for several wearing and washings. Eventually it stopped shedding but the fabric looks old and worn. I have several other vest by different manufactures and they are older and have been worn more and look better. Needs higher quality fabric ever it that means raising the price.

I wear a 2xL most of the time, but these were too small. So I ordered the 3xL and they were too big, but
I kept them even though they were too loose.
But here’s the Sore Spot. I got a return label for both 2xL’s , mailed both of them to amazon in the same box
with both return labels in the box and received credit for only one……..With no way to report this on the return
software – I tried for over 30 minutes to get a live service agent to no avail. Amazon hides from customer complaints!

The quality is decent compared to price. I’m using the vest to keep core warmer under pea coat/medium weight jacket in winter. Has a slim fit feel but not too tight. I’m 6’2 185 and a L was a prefect fit allowing for two layers comfortably underneath (white v neck tee + long sleeve button down.)
