…but, on the other hand, having fleece *and* down is super cosy. And the weight and bulk (compared to a very light vest) is oddly comforting, like a weighted blanket I guess.
It would only be better if the non-fleece side was a lovely soft brushed cotton or something.

In some ways it's *more* outdoorsy: heavier, bulkier, and the non-fleece side is still a bit rustly and weatherproof… twitter.com/philgyford/sta…
Throughout last winter I wore a Patagonia Down Sweater Vest indoors. It's very warm but I don't need the lightweight, windproof, ripstop shell, which is rustly polyester.
I want a similar piece of high-performance clothing but designed for indoor use. Cosy and comfy, not rustly.
