A vest exposes you to the breeze while retaining body heat around your core, making it perfect for chilly evenings, where a jacket would cause you to overheat. A jacket vest delivers the best of both worlds. Rather than the formal vest it is more practical and provides heat and protection to your torso, yet leaving the arms open for heat dissipation. In cold environments a jacket vest can be used to supplement torso insulation in combination with a long sleaved sweater, for example.
