Women's Hooded Vests
A hooded vest is a layering decision before it is a garment: it warms the core and leaves the arms free, so what fits over and under it matters more than with any other top. Insulated styles pad the body panels with down or synthetic fill, and the hood is sometimes filled to match, sometimes left soft and lined. Fleece and knit-backed vests stay lighter and go under a coat. Sleeveless hoodies in loopback cotton do the same job in milder weather.
Closures divide the group. Full zips open the front completely, half-zips stop at the chest, and pullovers leave the front whole. The hood is a separate choice again — fixed, drawcorded or detachable at a zip. Lengths run cropped, hip and longline. Quilted and channel-stitched shells in nylon or recycled polyester shed light rain, brushed fleece stays soft against the skin, and ribbed or elasticated armholes close off draughts.
