The answer depends on how and where you plan to wear it. Quilted styles such as the Rydal, Patterson Creek and Padstow are designed as versatile everyday layers, providing warmth without excessive bulk and working well over a shirt, flannel or knit.


The Yambulla vest takes a different approach, combining a waxed cotton outer with a warm sherpa lining. This makes it a great choice for cooler conditions where protection from wind and light rain is just as important as warmth.


For most everyday wear, a quilted vest will provide all the warmth most people need. If you're spending long periods outdoors in cold winter conditions, you'll generally be layering either style with a wool knit, jacket or coat for additional insulation.

The padded vests work best as a mid-layer over a shirt, flannel, or light knit. It sits close enough to the body to layer comfortably under a jacket if needed. For a more casual look, wear it over a long sleeve shirt or merino polo with jeans and boots. For something smarter, pair it with chinos and an Oxford shirt.

The Yambulla vest features a waxed cotton outer that is water resistant rather than fully waterproof. It will handle rain and wind well, but is not designed for heavy or sustained wet weather. Like all waxed cotton garments, it will benefit from periodic re-waxing to maintain its water resistance over time.
