Below is a summary of vests, jackets, and parkas for MEN made by Charles River Apparel. For your convenience, a short description has been included along with a link to each apparel item so you can learn more about them or purchase one as a gift for yourself or a friend or family member.
Charles River Vests for Men
There are several vests for men made by Charles River Apparel. However, there are two main vests that are categorized as “Heavyweight” vests for colder weather. They are:
1- Men’s Classic Soft Shell Vest (9819)
2- Men’s Radius Quilted Vest (9535)
Classic Soft Shell Vest (9819)
The Classic Soft Shell Vest (9819) is made of 90% Polyester and 10% Spandex Shell fabric which is bonded to a 100% Polyester microfleece layer making it lightweight and flexible. This vest pairs well with a long sleeve semi-casual shirt making it great for those nights out with the guys or on a date with your special someone.
Unlike other vests, this vest is constructed with Hi-Tech 3-layer poly/spandex and microfleece bonded material making it breathable and water-resistance. The standup collar/wind flap chin guard provides a little extra protection as well.
If you want to match well with your wife or girlfriend, the vest coordinates with the Women’s Soft Shell Vest (5819).
Men’s Radius Quilted Vest (9535)
If you need a little more warmth protection from the cold weather, consider getting the Men’s Radius Quilted Vest (9535). The jacket’s shell is made of 100% Polyester Dobby Shell fabric which is made from certified and guaranteed recycled PET bottles. The inter insulated material is made of 100% Polyester Primaloft sport premium insulation for superior warmth.
Not only is the Men’s Radius Quilted Vest easily compressible and light weight, but it is also wind and water-resistant for those cold wet days.
One of the major selling points for this vest, and why so many people love purchasing this article of clothing, is because it can be paired with the Men’s Lithium Quilted Jacket (9540), essentially making it a coat for added warmth for colder temperatures.
If you want to match well with your wife or girlfriend, the men’s vest coordinates with the Women’s Radius Quilted Vest (5535).

Men’s Lithium Quilted Jacket (9540)
I love this jacket! It is my go-to jacket during the late summer nights or during the cooler fall days. During the winter, I use this jacket under my coat for added warmth. Not only is this jacket stylish and warm but it also rated for an active weather range of 3 degrees F. Additionally, the jacket is wind and water-resistant.
As mentioned before, the jacket creates a 2-in-1 coat when paired with the Radius Vest 9535 that zips into the jacket for added warmth. This is something I am looking forward to doing this winter!
