Men's Vests and Gilets
Versatile Layering for Changeable Conditions
A vest sits in that sweet spot between too warm for a jacket and too cold for just a shirt. The men's range at Balsa covers insulated vests with synthetic fill for cold mornings, fleece vests for milder days and windproof options that cut through coastal breezes without overheating. Patagonia leads the range with Nano Puff and Better Sweater vests that pack down small and layer over anything. These are the pieces that live in the boot of your car and come out more often than you expect.
Insulated, Fleece and Windproof Options
The collection covers three main categories. Insulated vests use synthetic fills like PrimaLoft that stay warm when wet — ideal for coastal conditions. Fleece vests provide core warmth without bulk and work as a mid-layer under a shell or standalone on cool evenings. Windproof options combine stretch fabrics with weather resistance for active outdoor use. All vests in the range are designed to move freely without restriction.
