Is this vest warm enough for winter work?

It is quilted with a polyester lining, so it adds insulation over a shirt or sweatshirt. It is a vest, not a jacket, so arms stay uncovered and it works best as a mid layer.

Does it keep rain out?

The shell is water repellent, so it handles light rain and snow. It is not waterproof, so heavy or prolonged rain will soak through.

How many pockets does it have?

It has three pockets. That covers small tools, a phone and gloves without adding bulk.

How does it compare with a mesh safety vest?

It is warmer and blocks light weather, but it is heavier and less breathable. A mesh vest is better for hot weather; this one suits cold, damp conditions.

What sizes does it come in?

It is offered in a broad range of sizes from XS up to 5XL. Check the fit against your usual layer thickness, since it is worn over other clothing.

Is it machine washable?

The polyester shell and lining can generally be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Follow the care label and avoid fabric softener, which can reduce water repellency.
