Spring might mean it’s finally time to think about putting your winter coat in storage, but that doesn’t mean it’s all swim trunks and tees yet. You’re still going to need some sort of protection for the colder days, but there are alternatives to the standard jacket… like these vests. Each will give you freedom of movement and extra pockets in an easily removable layer–without looking like the Stay Puft Man.
