Best Outerwear Vests for Boys of 2025

"I bought this for my eleven-year-old daughter and it fits great over sweatshirts as well as regular shirts. I ordered a large size, and it arrived right on time. My daughter loves it; it keeps her warm while still being nice and lightweight."

"My son is not a fan of bulky coats, but he really enjoys wearing this vest! It’s perfect for those fall days when he just needs a little extra warmth without the weight."

"I ordered the vest in black with neon green trim, but it looked more gray than black when it arrived. I returned it and got the plain black, which matched the picture perfectly. I'm not sure why the trim version was different, but I'm happy with the solid color."

"I took this vest on a trip to Arizona in November for family pictures, and it was the perfect thickness. I received compliments from our photographer about how well it paired with my flannel shirt from Amazon. It's a great value, and my son, who is a husky 10-year-old, wears it for various occasions. I matched the size chart, and it fit him perfectly!"

"My grandson was thrilled with the color and fit of this vest. He hates jackets, so this is ideal for his active lifestyle! I'm very grateful for this find!"

"I initially wasn't sure about this vest, but it has grown on me. It has a nostalgic 70s/80s flair, which I appreciate. While I’m not a fan of the large logo since I wanted to wear it with dressier outfits, I found that the fit is great for my 5’7” frame, and the price is better than other women's vests that are likely of lower quality."

"As an aunt, I stumbled upon this amazing vest! It's a bit roomy, but it fits perfectly over hoodies and sweaters. The color matched the picture exactly, and the quality is awesome and warm. I'm thrilled!"

"My 10-year-old is thrilled with it. We got him a size 10-12, and while it runs a bit big, he has room to grow. The fleece lining and cotton outer are fantastic!"

"I absolutely love Amazon Essentials and keep buying them. The size is perfect for my 9-year-old boy and the material is soft and thick for warmth. I highly recommend it!"

"I got this vest in a small size for my son who usually wears a 5, wanting it a little bigger for longer use. The material is soft, light, and warm. After washing, it still looks great, and it’s easy for him to zip up!"

"This vest was a great price and perfect for my son's winter project. It fits him well, washes nicely, and is super soft. I'm really happy with my purchase!"

"I was a bit apprehensive about buying this jacket, thinking it might be low quality. However, I was pleasantly surprised! It's incredibly warm with a fleece inner liner. I ordered the XL for my kids, and it fits my 5-year-old well, even if it's a bit longer. The zipper is easy for him to operate, and I'm really happy with my purchase!"

"I really like this vest! It's perfect for the Pacific Northwest weather. I bought two for my kids, and they fit well. If you want a looser fit, you might want to order a size up, but I found the sizes true to what my kids currently wear. I appreciate that I can pass them down to my younger sons next year!"
