Chaleco sherpa Mad River

The recycled fleece makes this feel guilt-free and it’s genuinely soft against the skin, not scratchy like some fleeces I’ve tried. I’ve worn it every morning this week just for around the house and it’s become my go-to layer.

I was skeptical about how warm a vest could be, but the recycled fleece traps heat so well that I’ve worn it almost every morning since it arrived. It’s become my go-to for layering on chilly walks.

The recycled fleece is surprisingly plush for how lightweight it is—I keep reaching for it on weekend errands and it's become my default layering piece. Considering how soft and warm it is, the price feels more than fair.
