What's the point of a vest? Are there people out there like, "My arms are plenty toasty but my body is so cold."? Is this a thing people actually experience?

@taki Vests are almost entirely for layering, yeah.

@Balina I have only ever desired an inverse vest. My arms need more coverage than my core.

@taki I think it's kind of a flexibility trade-off? A sweatshirt and a vest isn't as good as just a heavy coat, but you don't have so much bulk on your shoulders. And if you heat up your core enough, it'll at least pump warmer blood to your arms, I guess.
