Customer Reviews Brooks Shield Hybrid Vest 3.0

Great jacket. Keeps warm for around 30 degrees or so depending on what you're wearing underneath. Runs a bit smaller than most Brooks items. For example I wear a medium shirt in Brooks but due to my chest size (38C) I got a large in the vest. I do wish there was another pocket on the interior for keys but that's just a personal preference the two outer pockets to had zippers !

This vest keeps my core warm during my early morning runs in the cold weather. After reading reviews, I decided to size up for a more comfortable fit over my running clothes and I'm so happy I did. This purchase was worth every penny!

This Vest is awesome. It keeps me warm during my winter runs. I love the pockets as well, that's very convenient. It's very lightweight

Perfect vest! It's not bulky and love the breathable fabric in the lower back area. Looks great!!

The Shield Hybrid Vest 3.0 is a great layering piece and quickly became one of my go-to items. It provides just the right amount of warmth without feeling bulky, and it's perfect for cooler mornings or transitional weather. The material blocks wind well while still being breathable, which makes it comfortable to wear for extended periods. The fit is flattering and true to size, and I appreciate how easy it is to move in it doesn't feel restrictive at all. It works equally well for outdoor activities and everyday wear. Overall, this vest is well-made, versatile, and practical. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight but effective layering option.

Warm and very comfortable, while still being lightweight. The zippered pockets are a good size and solid addition. Worked well for running in 30 degree weather with only a long sleeve shirt under, was almost too warm during the tempo portion of that run. Also makes a good layer for hiking, or just casual wear. Very versatile.

Love the fit of this vest. It is comfy and has the pockets I need.

Warm outer layer for cold, windy days. I like this for days down to about 15-20 degrees F with a good base layer beneath it. It isn't restrictive or bulky. Pockets are a nice size. I sometimes get annoyed with jacket sleeves so if I can get by with a vest I'm happy - and this one works great!

I bought this on sale because I was going to do a 6 hour Midwest trail race during February. I was VERY happy with it as it kept me warm in 10-20 degrees with wind during the entire race. Loved the two zipper pockets on the outside. May I suggest Brooks to add a hidden inner pocket with Velcro to hold the cell phone inside the vest.

I've always loved this vest. I have an old one from 2016 that has finally worn out and this new one is even better with the fleece lining. Perfect for those cold days where you need to keep your core warm and want pockets!

One of my favorite running vests and way warmer than I thought it was going to be!!

I love this vest! It fits great and I have zero issues running with things in the pockets. The little headphone pocket is great. I've worn it for easy runs and just did a race in 18 degrees, and it was perfect!

Love the way this fits and works. It has an uncanny ability to keep you warm enough on chilly days without overheating. Super happy with the purchase.

Perfect for those days when you want an extra layer without the bulk! The armholes are a little short, but there is enough stretch for it not to be too much of a bother.

Especially love the zipper pockets and the small pocket within for securing keys or other small items.

I love this vest! It keeps me warm while not being too bulky. The zipper pockets are an added bonus.

Bought this vest for the wifey. She loves it. It provides the right fit and warmth for our (relatively mild) Southern California winter mornings.

I've been very happy with the quality of this vest. The little details like the interior zipper snaps are so creative. I was between sizes and sized up to a medium. I'd wished it was a little longer (I'm tall!) but am now very happy with the length!

Been looking for a reasonably-priced running vest that wasn't black and this one did the trick! It's comfy, keeps my body warm without overheating, has zippered pockets (a must), and I like the stretchy fabric panel along it under the arms - helps it move better. Didn't feel like I was wearing anything but comfort during my run! FYI: I'm 5'9", busty, about 210 lbs and the XL fit perfectly.

I LOVE this vest!!! As a large chested woman, vests can be very difficult for me and therefore, I buy them and expect to return them. NOT THIS ONE! The Shield Hybrid Vest 3.0 fits PERFECTLY and looks great for cold weather runs or a casual, around-town look. It is not bulky at all. Thank you, Brooks, for a high-quality, well fitting running vest!

This vest is the perfect layer for colder runs, it is not bulky. It is, in my opinion, the best combination of puff and regular material. The fit is great, I can wear layers under it as well. If you are looking for a cold weather run vest, this is the one to get.

I love this vest! I've been layering it for my cold runs and it's so warm and comfortable.

This is a really well made vest. Fits TTS - I bought a size small and I'm a 4/6. The neck is a little tight but it's perfect everywhere else. I've worn it in 20s-30s F and it keeps me warm. The pockets are big enough for a phone which is another plus.

Love everything about this vest

keeps me warm and cool in all the right places! excellent technical gear for when it's cold that doesn't limit movement.
