Quilted Styles Are Our Winter Activewear Staples

Layering is key as the temps start to drop, so naturally one of my winter favorites is a vest. The Athleta Whisper Featherless Velvet Vest ($169) blends the quilted trend with another seasonal favorite: velvet. This snug piece pairs well over any sweatshirt or long sleeve for an added layer of warmth while hiking, walking, or hitting the trails. Plus, you skip the bulk of regular vests thanks to lightweight 3M™ Recycled Thinsulate fabric.
