When it's cool enough to start layering, this men's insulated vest has you covered with a lightweight and insulated design. The durable Cordura® fabric shell is lined with smooth nylon making it easy to throw on over a long-sleeve tee or hoodie or to wear under a shell or heavier coat. Durable water repellent makes water bead up and roll off to help keep you drier in light rain. Previously known as the Gilliam Vest.

Rain Defender®
Rain Defender®, Durable water repellent—water beads up and rolls off.
Rain Defender® durable water repellent garments are just as functional and comfortable while fishing, hunting, working, or standing on the sidelines at a football game in a sudden November rain. Water will bead up and roll off your sweatshirt, jacket, overalls, pants, and more, so a little rain won’t stop you from finishing the job without changing your gear.
Carhartt has made an overall great insulated vest. It has plenty of pockets. It is thin and can be worn under anything. My only gripe is that it's a little short. I am 6'3" and it barely covers my belt. Not a problem, as I wear it under blazers, and it looks fine. But one more inch of torso coverage would have been perfect. It has more pockets than most other vests in its class (think Patagonia or Eddie Bauer). That's a big plus.
