Functional waistcoats usually have several practical pockets and are made of fabrics that have properties that meet the different requirements. Functional vests offer their wearers a high level of comfort and allow plenty of freedom of movement when running, hiking, cycling, fishing and hunting.

Women’s fashion: Functional vest Video Guide

A suitable functional vest is available for almost every outdoor operation. Relatively simple models are vests for hikers. These vests have only a few pockets but are breathable, water repellent and windproof. They can be worn in the cold as an insulating layer between a jacket and a lower part or they are ideal garments in spring and autumn when it should get a little cooler. Functional vests for runners and cyclists are usually tighter-cut vests that do not inflate in the wind, but still allow maximum freedom of movement. Many of these functional vests are made of so-called Softshell, a very light, breathable and windproof material that is also water-repellent. Thus these functional vests offer a high wearing comfort. The number of pockets is usually limited and in some models is limited to a small inner pocket for keys or a maximum of one smartphone.

The AIRTRACKS functional vest is a particularly light running and cycling vest. The vest has a longer cut at the back, is breathable, windproof and water-repellent thanks to a Teflon coating. A zip pocket at the back offers space for keys and smartphone. The AIRTRACKS functional vest is suitable for men and women. Tropical vests are specially equipped functional vests for expeditions and multi-day hiking tours in hot regions. But these functional vests are also practical companions for excursions into the great outdoors in local latitudes. Tropical vests are available with insect-repellent fabric and high UV protection. These functional vests are usually equipped with a large number of pockets and compartments that provide sufficient space for equipment, maps, travel guides and the like.

Functional vests are available for hunters and anglers with many practical pockets for ammunition, knives and various other items. Hunting vests are made of different materials, lined and unlined and offered in different colours. Traditional hunting and fishing vests are olive or dark green. Some models are also available in camouflage colours and patterns.

The functional vest from Mariner is an outdoor vest with camouflage pattern and many pockets. This lightweight functional vest, made from 65% polyester and 35% cotton, is ideal for fishing, hunting and camping. The functional vest from Mariner has a total of 11 pockets on the outside.

Functional vests, like other clothing, must also be regularly cared for. They consist of blended fabrics, synthetic fibres or cotton. In particular, if functional vests have been sweated through by hikers, runners and cyclists, they should be washed promptly. Body perspiration can stick together the fine pores of the functional fabrics and permanently impair the important breathability. As a rule, all functional vests can be washed at least 30 degrees in the machine. The care instructions are listed on the label in the west. Drying in a tumble dryer is not recommended. It is better for the durability of the vests if they are dried on the clothesline. The water-repellent finish of the fabrics can lose some of its effectiveness with every wash. Functional vests made of water-repellent materials should therefore be re-impregnated after 3 to 4 washes.
