Charles River seems to have found a niche.  This vest, resembling classic lines, has added features making it fit well and can be used in many climates.  It's not bulky but it is warmer than it looks.  The length is good with a longer back which defends from more cold air and is quite stylish.  Zipped pockets for phone, keys, etc. It does compress to fit in one's pocket, and I think it would be excellent for travel.  Reasonably priced and great colors, too.
