I am very pleased with this gilet.
The inner pockets were one of the main features that led to me choosing this one, I keep my passport wallet and cash in one inner pocket and the other inner pocket is well sized for dropping in a large phone, the outer pockets are large enough for a large phone as well and I just checked and my passport wallet fit nicely with a lot of room to spare in the outer pockets.
The left breast pocket is great for a card wallet as well, these gilet's are to me tool jackets and particularly for travel, the inside pockets in a gilet are important in that context as you have a lot of stuff to carry through from check-in to departure and the zipped pockets are the most important in that context when you get to the x-ray machines as that is when things can spill out.
This gilet allows me to easily and quickly take off my watch and put it in a zipped pocket, same with my keys both house and car (I have a lot of keys).
The material was a little thinner than I expected but it is still warm.
Like a lot of gilets the fit is not so good when zipped up, the cut is such that if you lean forwards there is a bulge over the top of your chest over the heart, maybe I made a mistake and bought one size too big but generally I wear a gilet open so for me at this size (Large) I am still happy.
Overall I am happy, it is quite warm even though thinner material and at my current weight it looks quite good and it should not be too hot in the summer as well.

nice body warmer, weak pockets, odd zip
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2022
Outdoor Ventures Men's Full-Zip Lightweight Fleece Gilet Body Warmer===================================================A plush fleece body warmer that is perfect for when it's not quite cold enough for a full jacket.The material looks good. Let down very slightly that the inner material is a very light cloth - whilst it's okay for the lining, it's what's used for the pockets too. I love the odd bit of DIY so I tend to put small screwdrivers or pliers etc in my pocket - I'm not sure it would last long that way, even with keys. It has also oddly got the zip on the right side (as you wear it) - opposite to all my other coats and jackets, but it does function okay. Otherwise a nice body warmer.EDIT: I only noticed after finally removing the label tags, but the pull tab on the zip has been replaced with some plastic part.

It’s a reasonable quality gilet and it has plenty of pockets, the price is a little high for something that is made with such dreadful sizing though
The zip is confusing, it was the first thing my husband noticed, it’s on the side you’d usually call a ladies’ zip. It’s fine once it’s fastened but after 50+ years of zips being on the opposite side it’s caught him out a few times.
Poor sizing and a ladies’ zip
By sooz on 10 April 2022
I got this for my husband just to throw on to go and do daily tasks in the garden. I checked the size chart and a Large should have been slightly too big. It’s tight with a T-shirt underneath it, so definitely buy at least one size bigger than you think you’ll need. It’s also very short.By sooz on 10 April 2022

The material is good quality and feels nice and soft, I ordered a size L and being 6ft 2 this fits me perfectly. There is adjusters at the bottom on both sides to tighten up the waist part.
There is 3 pockets however my chest area one has not been sewn so when I placed my keys in here they fell straight out. This being my reason for the 4* review otherwise I would have gave it a 5*.
Overall I am very happy with this and feel for the current price of £29.99 this seems fair.

Great and cosy
By Annie on 4 April 2022
Ordered this for my partner who likes to wear gilets over the top of sweatshirts etc. I really like the fabric and wool effect it makes it super cosy and great for transitioning from winter to spring when the weather is a bit hit or miss. The quality is great, seems sturdy and the stitching is excellent as I'd expect from a brand like this one and for the price (£30 at time of review). He said it fits as he likes- not too tight or baggy and no problem with the zips either. All in all great quality product from a good brand
