🏃 TCA Women's Thermal Excel Runner Lightweight Running Vest / Bodywarmer with Zip Pockets Review

I am a broad-shouldered woman from long-time swimming with an athletic build. I have a hard time finding the right vests that don't make me chubby and confident. This vest is great. This flexible fabric moves with you, which also allows the fabric to hug your body snugly. It's easy enough for hiking and biking. I would definitely order another one.

very happy with this beautiful vest. Cycling in the Deep South in winter is different: some days it's spring, sometimes it's 20 degrees with strong winds, and we train outside almost all the time. So it's cool to have a top layer that can be worn just over a tank top or over three more layers. This vest is well constructed, lightweight and fits well. I like the reflective stripe on the back. Pros: Good value for money, light weight, good fit. Cons: Needs more pockets on the back for cycling…

I've been looking for a warm and lightweight winter training vest and I got it. I'm glad I went for the large over the medium as it fits the shape. The large size allows me to wear a thicker shirt underneath. The vest is a little longer than expected, so I was afraid it would come up during training. It is not. It stays in place perfectly. If you are hesitant to order this or trying to narrow down your choices I would highly recommend this vest. I wish they offered more colors. My only…

I love this vest so much I might buy another one. It's flattering for flaccidity and warmth in the front, but breathable in the back and snug fitting but leaves your hips some freedom. Ideal for cold-weather running when a long-sleeved shirt just doesn't fit. The zipper holds up well. It hangs easily so I'm not sure how it will hold up in the long run, but it's very light and you can open it halfway, cool it down a bit and close it again when you're cold. Don't make your chest huge or hug you…

I am surprised at how well this vest works. It's light and comfortable, although a bit longer for me (but I'm only 5ft 3" and mostly legs). I've had a great time in New Jersey this winter and if they had a fun color I would definitely buy a second one. Layering this vest over the Revain Baleaf Long Sleeve Shirt keeps me warm, but not too hot, in temperatures well below freezing. doesn't drain the battery when I'm on the go for a long time. Definitely recommended!

I'm an avid runner from Dallas, Texas. I've had the vest for a few months now and it works really well for cold mornings, adding warmth without adding weight/bulk. I'm 5'3", 110" tall; very average build. The medium size was a bit too big for me but still works well especially when worn over a heavier blazer/shirt. I love the front zip pockets. The front of the vest is lined, the back is not. The collar at the back is high, which is ideal for keeping out the cold, but tapers forward to avoid…

Another great TCA product. As the weather got cooler in the Midwest, this vest made running and walking possible and comfortable! The front has a lightweight down jacket with quality zipped pockets (a must have for me!) while the back is made from great sport fabric that moves with your body. This vest pairs well with long-sleeved athletic shirts, quarter-zip shirts, and running sweatshirts. It's also very flattering and sits flat even with a zip (see second picture). I'm 5ft 6" and 130lbs and…
