This vest checks all of my boxes–versatile, classic, water repellent, stylish—and is made from high-quality materials that are meant to feel ridiculously soft and comfortable (like the brushed fabric around the chin guard and pockets, of which there are three). It’s also slightly asymmetrical with a longer back panel for additional coverage.
“If you’re debating between a Canada Goose coat and a Moncler coat, you should go with a Canada Goose if you want optimal warmth in colder climates,” says PureWow contributing editor Destinee Scott. As someone who spends her time shopping for deals and steals, Scott also appreciates investing in the finer things in life, so when I asked her which option she’d buy, her answer was simple: “I would definitely lean toward a vest over a parka because it’s way more practical for everyday wear, and I like the idea of layering it with those more stylish jackets that don’t exactly keep you warm, so you get the best of both worlds.”
