Women's Second Cut™ Fleece Vest

Designed with circular principles in mind, the Women’s Second Cut™ Fleece Vest is made better to wear forever. Crafted with pre-consumer Smartwool® Merino wool scraps, this vest offers the moisture management, temperature regulation, and odor resistance properties of Merino wool. And our regular fit is intended to help give you room to move without additional bulk—perfect for everything from running errands to a casual hike.

Designed With Circular Principles
Second Cut™ Fleece is crafted with pre-consumer Smartwool® Merino wool scraps — fibers recovered before they ever leave the production floor. The vest takes manufacturing waste and turns it back into wearable Merino performance, keeping the fiber loop closed instead of adding to the waste stream.
Second Cut™ Recycled Construction
Main body is built from a 50% Recycled Polyester / 25% Merino Wool / 25% Recycled Wool blend — a true circular fabric where 75% of the body content is recovered fiber (50% recycled polyester + 25% recycled/reprocessed wool). The remaining 25% virgin Merino handles the next-to-skin performance.
Merino Performance With Recycled Polyester
The fabric blends the moisture management, temperature regulation, and odor resistance of Merino with the durability and structure of recycled polyester. Merino manages the next-to-skin comfort across multi-day wear; recycled polyester holds the fleece shape through wash and wear.
Regular Fit
Our regular fit is intended to help give you room to move without additional bulk. The vest sits cleanly at the shoulder and through the body, leaving room for a long-sleeve tee, henley, or Merino crew underneath without compressing or bunching.
Sleeveless Core Warmth
The sleeveless construction warms the core where heat loss hits hardest on cool-morning errands and casual hikes, while leaving the arms free for full range of motion. The vest is the mid-layer spot that doesn’t add bulk under a shell and doesn’t restrict reach or carry.
Two Chest Pockets
Two chest pockets (lined with 100% Recycled Polyester) carry the essentials without bulging at the hip. The chest placement keeps hands free for a leash, a coffee, a phone call — the everyday carry pattern where hip pockets would crowd a tote or a jacket shell.
Quick-Drying Fleece
The fleece construction offers the perfect blend of comfort, breathability, and quick-drying warmth — warmth that doesn’t sit as a heavy wet layer when the temperature shifts or the activity level picks up. The right weight for shoulder-season layering and around-town wear alike.
Layered Or Standalone Wear
Designed for everything from running errands to a casual hike. Worn solo over a long-sleeve tee or henley on cool-morning walks and weekend coffee runs; layered under a Hardshell or packable rain jacket when the weather turns. The fleece face stands up to pack-strap abrasion without pilling.
Made In Vietnam
Main Body: 50% Recycled Polyester, 25% Merino Wool, 25% Recycled Wool/Reprocessed Wool. Trim/Pockets: 100% Recycled Polyester. Exclusive of Decoration and Elastic. The high recycled content reduces the demand for virgin synthetic fiber and recovered wool from the manufacturing floor.

Washing
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Cold water protects the recycled wool fibers and prevents shrinkage of the knit; the gentle cycle keeps the fleece face intact. Turn the vest inside out before washing to reduce surface abrasion on the outer knit.
Drying
Lay flat to dry. The 25% Recycled Wool/Reprocessed Wool content can lose shape under tumble-dry heat; laying the vest flat on a clean towel preserves the fit and the shoulder structure through hundreds of wear cycles. Keep out of direct sunlight to protect color.
Bleach
Do not bleach. Bleach damages Merino wool fibers, weakens the recycled-polyester backbone, and strips the color from the recycled wool.
Ironing & Decoration
Cool iron as needed. Do not iron decoration. The fleece recovers from light wrinkles with steam or a cool iron; direct high heat on any printed graphics or heat-transfer logos will scorch or distort the surface.
Dry Cleaning
Do not dry clean. The harsh solvents used in commercial dry cleaning strip the natural lanolin from Merino and degrade the recycled-polyester and recycled-wool fiber structure, leaving the vest brittle and prone to pilling.
Storage
Fold and store in a cool, dry place. Hanging a fleece vest for long periods can stretch the shoulder seams and armhole binding out of shape; the fleece body holds its structure best when folded.

Merino Layer System — SW003189

Built For

Running Errands
3 Season
The shoulder-season piece you reach for to grab coffee, walk to the car, hit the school pickup line. Merino’s natural odor resistance means the vest stays presentable across multiple wears between washes; the sleeveless cut keeps you from overheating in the car or the grocery line.
Casual Hike
40° – 60°F
Cool-morning trail loops and weekend trailhead walks. The fleece warms the core while the sleeveless cut lets the arms move freely on scrambles and reaches; the recycled wool content holds warmth through wind without overheating on the uphills. Two chest pockets hold a phone, a snack, and a key without bulging.
Around-Town Daily
Indoor / Cool
Lunch meetings, weekend markets, the morning coffee run, the school pickup loop. The vest’s clean silhouette reads polished over a long-sleeve tee or henley; the fleece body keeps the chill at bay across cooler morning starts without the bulk of a full jacket.
Travel & Weekender
All-Season Travel
The packable mid-layer that compresses into a carry-on, slides under a Hardshell when the weather turns, and handles the cool airplane cabin without bulk. The sleeveless construction means it doesn’t fight with seatbelt positioning, and the 75% recycled content means the vest travels with a smaller footprint than a virgin-fiber alternative.
Everyday Layering

Pair It With A Long-Sleeve Base

The sleeveless cut means the arms are the layering zone. Pair the vest with a Merino long-sleeve base layer or henley and the system is complete — the vest adds core warmth, the long-sleeve covers the arms, and the combination stays slim under a shell.

  • Merino long-sleeve tee or henley arm coverage under the vest
  • Women’s Classic Thermal Merino crew cold-morning warmth
  • Women’s Edgewood Tunic lifestyle long-sleeve pairing
  • Women’s Hike Crew sock matched family + heritage coordination
Everyday Layering

Top It With A Shell

The vest slots into the layering stack as the mid-layer spot your outer shell is waiting to go over. The sleeveless cut compresses cleanly under a Hardshell or packable rain jacket without adding bulk under the arms, where a long-sleeve mid-layer would fight the shell’s range of motion.

  • Hardshell jacket wet-weather protection
  • Packable rain jacket stowable shell
  • Winterloft™ hooded jacket added warmth for genuine cold
  • Women’s Second Cut™ Fleece Jacket (SW002966) long-sleeve companion
