Why We Like The Fjallraven Buck Fleece Vest
Warm and responsibly made, the Buck Fleece Vest features warm polyester fleece to maintain our core temperature and Fjallraven's famous G-1000 fabric across the shoulders for added durability when we're wearing a backpack. Its PFC-free construction also features recycled materials and organic cotton to reduce waste, water usage, and pesticide use to help preserve our environment. This versatile vest works as mid-layer insulation under our shell and as an outer layer that helps us hold in our body heat on the trail or at the cabin.

Runs small. Fitted. High neck line.
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Love it. I'm 5'8" 150lbs and usually wear a medium. I got a small and fits perfect for a vest. The neck line is a differentiator here and is runs to the bottom of my nose. Waist pulls inside both pockets. 2 pockets on the inside is a nice touch. No funky zippers.

Best fleece gilet ever
I have had my vest for several years now and I’m still super happy with it. I wear it for everything from seeing patients in the hospital to skiing and climbing. Still looks very much like new due to its amazing ability not to pill. Strongly recommended.

Great vest - would be cool as fleece jacket
This is a really great vest and especially the design is perfet as it is sleek, functional and provides both warmth and protection for the shoulders. It would be cool to have this product as a jacket with long sleeves (kind of like the forest fleece jacket but with this vests‘s colours). Would be great!

Last vest I'll ever want
First off I'd recommend going a size down if you're planning on wearing this with light and thin underlayers, but if you're wanting to wear it with thicker items like the Canada Shirt, I'd go with your true size. The main feature I love about this vest is how it does not pill easily. I'm pretty hard on my clothing and wear things out quickly, but this vest really holds up. It's got plenty of pockets that make it a worthy travelling vest, and the G-1000 on the shoulders ensures that you won't wear through them while carrying a bag or heavy load. This piece also keep you just warm enough without being too heavy.
