Men's sleeveless jacket

The men's bodywarmer: ideal for outdoor sports!

In cold weather, and especially in mid-season, the sleeveless vest is a must-have piece. Both lightweight and compact, this men's jacket offers superb thermal insulation, without weighing you down. If you need to carry it in a backpack or travel bag, simply fold it neatly to save space. When hiking or trekking in the wilderness, its compactness will be a great asset, since it's not unusual for the weather to be more variable in the mountains, for example.

What are the features of a sleeveless vest?

A sleeveless jacket, also known as a bodywarmer, is a thermal garment that provides the best protection from the cold in the shoulder season, i.e. spring and autumn. It provides welcome warmth and comfort all day long. The technical features of the sleeveless jacket include the following:

• Water-repellent: treated with a water-repellent coating, the vest repels water, offering protection against light showers and keeping the wearer dry.
• Warmth: the sleeveless vest can be lined with fleece (padding) and breathable mesh (mesh).
• Lightweight: these jackets often weigh less than 200 g.

Pockets can be located on the lower back (cross-country skiing, etc.), on the pectoral (hunting, etc.) or on the side. The choice is yours!

How to choose the right sleeveless jacket for men?

To choose the right men's sleeveless vest for you and your body type, you need to take the time to compare the technical features listed above. Then, we advise you to opt for a close-fitting, straight or loose fit, depending on your sport. For example, if you're a runner, you'll want to wear close-fitting sportswear to optimize your aerodynamics, as well as your comfort. Finally, remember to check that your size is available before placing your order at DECATHLON.
