"My kiddo wears this vest practically every day in the fall—one side for school, the other for outdoor play. It’s super soft, keeps her warm, and I love that it’s made with recycled materials."
Some days are full of surprises—so we give kids the flexibility to dress for all of them with the Patagonia Reversible Ready Freddy Vest. This two-in-one essential flips from a plush fleece exterior to a smooth, weather-resistant shell, offering a cozy core layer that works whether they’re bundled up for school drop-off or building forts in the backyard.
With Thermogreen™ recycled insulation sandwiched between the layers, the Ready Freddy Vest traps warmth without bulk. The high collar and full-zip design help seal out drafts, while zippered hand pockets keep their treasures (or snacks) safe. It’s built tough for active kids and crafted sustainably for peace of mind—plus, the retro-inspired aesthetic is just plain fun.
