The full review
Filson makes the vest from 24-ounce, 100% virgin Mackinaw wool in an "uncommonly tight weave" that blocks wind, cut "roomy for easy layering," with chest pockets and side-entry hand pockets, according to its product page. Filson says it stays warm and breathable even when it's wet, and makes it in the USA.
This is heavy wool, so it's a layer for cold mornings and the late season, not the warm opening weeks.
