Our Verdict
The Fjällräven Övik Lite Fleece Vest is a practical, lightweight option for hikers looking for an extra layer of warmth without the bulk. The vest weighs around 198g in medium, making it a convenient addition to any layering system. Designed to be versatile, it’s ideal for wearing over a t-shirt in mild conditions or layering under a shell when temperatures drop.
With thoughtful design elements like carefully placed seams to prevent chafing under backpack straps. The zippered chest pocket provides secure storage for small essentials, while the elastic-bound armholes ensure a snug fit that keeps warmth in and maintains freedom of movement. The vest is dyed using Fjällräven’s sustainable CO₂-based method, which reduces water usage—a detail that adds eco-friendly appeal.
