Vest is a special purpose thing, but that does not mean, that it shouldn´t fit. We should choose carefully to our satisfaction. 

Not tactical vests, but only vests. What are they? The vest is worn on the upper body and covering the torso, not the arms. What is it good for? There are many types of vests. In addition to tactical vests, we have outdoor vests, that are usually functional, and then vests for fishing and similar. They have pockets and compartments for storing of different equipment. 

Back to the fabrics 

Functional vests, such as those outdoor ones, are made from modern fibers, giving them great properties.These are insulation and moisture wicking. This fact is very important. When we are active, we sweat easily. When evaporation stays on the clothing, it gets wet. That leads to cold and moisture. For the other types of vests, more conventional fabrics are used, such as cotton, polyester or their mix. Nylon is also used, which is solid and durable. The mix of cotton and polyester gives natural breathability while keeping resistance.

What do we find here?

As the name suggests– vests. These are general focused vests. We can choose between more simply ones and those bit more complex. It is really up to us, what will we use it for and what kind of activity we choose. Pay attention mainly to fabrics and cut, as it is different for different vests.
