Such a pleasure to find garments that don’t have a plastic feel! This vest is light weight, but a nice substantial extra layer for indoor and out. And it has pockets!

This is a great vest. I ordered the XL Tall and it fits my 6'4" 235/lb frame nicely. L.L. Bean is discontinuing the vest, which I wish they were not.
