If you’ve ever wanted to look like a rugged Midwestern field commander while actually just navigating the treacherous journey from the parking lot to the office, the Relwen Windzip Vest ($208) is your new uniform. This isn’t one of those marshmallow-puffers that makes you look like a confused inflatable tube man; it’s a sleek, semi-water-resistant fortress for your torso.
Packed with 60g of down-alternative fill, it’s thin enough to layer under a blazer but warm enough to survive a drafty taproom. With a tall stand-up collar to hide your “morning face” and enough stretch to comfortably reach for the last donut, it’s the ultimate grab-and-go gear for the modern gentleman who values his core—and his street cred.
