Wide Selection of Outdoor Vests at ASMC
An outdoor vest is the ideal companion for activities in nature. The so-called angler vest is a sleeveless jacket that serves as protection against wind and weather, not only for the transitional period. We offer a wide range of outdoor vests from renowned manufacturers such as Rough Stuff, Woolpower, or Carinthia in a wide variety of colors for outdoor and everyday use.
Versatile Angler Vest for Every Occasion
For those looking for a versatile garment that can be worn almost all year round, an outdoor vest is definitely the right choice! Angler vests are sleeveless jackets with materials that vary in the thickness of the fabrics. For example, someone purchasing an outdoor vest from Woolpower can be sure they are acquiring a warming angler vest for the cold season. In contrast, outdoor vests made from a thin microfiber cotton blend, for example, are suitable for the transitional period or mild summer nights.
Angler vests are true all-rounders and can be combined in many ways. Whether for sports or extensive hikes: An outdoor vest is a real multitasker that can be worn on many occasions and in almost all weather conditions.
We offer a wide selection of proven angler vests for everyone and every occasion: In addition to plain uni-colors like black or olive, our range also includes plenty of outdoor vests in various camouflage patterns like flecktarn, woodland, or multicam.
The high-quality angler vests from Rough Stuff, Carinthia, and others provide reliable protection against wind and weather and effectively warm the upper body. Due to their sleeveless cut, these functional outdoor vests are particularly suitable for sports activities: They are airy and protect body parts such as the kidneys from wind and cold, thus significantly reducing the risk of catching a cold on cold days.
Furthermore, an outdoor vest provides more freedom of movement and does not restrict the wearer in various activities. This feature is particularly beneficial for sports such as climbing or fishing, which require a high degree of freedom of movement. This is also where the term angler vest comes from, which is often used synonymously with the proven outdoor vests.
Practical Angler Vest for Wind and Weather
Outdoor vests are characterized by particularly diverse materials and are therefore wearable almost all year round. An angler vest can be worn both as a midlayer and as the outermost layer of clothing. While those that serve as a replacement for jackets are primarily made of warming down or a mixture of wool and polyester, midlayers come with lighter, thinner fabrics. These can be, for example, outdoor vests made of thin polyester material, which are then particularly suitable for the transitional period or cooler summer nights.
Questions: Vests
Which outdoor vest is particularly suitable for cooler days?
Warming angler vests made of wool or synthetic fibers are particularly suitable. Outdoor vests with down or thermal insulation also provide excellent warmth on colder days. Especially with synthetic fiber angler vests, the insulation works even when wet: They are particularly breathable and are characterized by their effective heat retention when moist. The same applies to wool blends: They are capable of absorbing about 30% of their own weight in moisture without feeling wet and compromising insulation.
What should I look for in an angler vest?
A slim, close-fitting cut helps to retain heat close to the body. This cut also favors wearing as a midlayer under other jackets, while more generously cut angler vests are better suited as the outermost layer of clothing, as hoodies and sweaters can also be comfortably worn underneath.
When purchasing your new outdoor vest, please also pay attention to the corresponding product description: The materials differ in their breathability, and not all are water-repellent or even waterproof. In general, angler vests are not a fundamental substitute for a jacket in bad weather. Since they are sleeveless, they offer only limited protection against wind and rain! For determining the appropriate size, we are happy to refer to the ASMC size chart.
