What’s everyone’s go to?

Warm, wind/water resistance, not too bulky?

Several thrift store vests and they all help keeping your core warm. My favorite is an old 800 fill jacket I cut the arms out of because I never wore it due to making my arms too bulky. It really keeps my core toasty and love the collar on it cuddling my neck.
 
I just got the Fieldsheer KCX heated vest from camofire and really looking forward to trying it this season. I’ve never been a vest person but this will likely be an exception I’m thinking.
 
Early season, warm to mild temps = sitka core lw hoody under a firstlite catalyst vest. Cooler temps I go with the fanatic vest over the stratus jacket.
 
I have an Arris heated fleece vest. It is amazing. It has changed the way I dress for cold weather. What is especially nice about it is it's a thick heavy fleece so even if it not cold enough to use the heated functions it's still warm. I'd like to maybe try some heated baselayers next.
 
I use a cabelas Wooltimate vest and love it. It’s bulky in the pack, but not on the body. I usually carry it in and out and wear it on the stand.
