Standout Picks
Criteria Used for Evaluation
Materials
This criterion is very common in many of our clothing articles. This is because it focuses on the overall quality and design of the product. Simply stated, the quality design of the item rests on how high quality the material is. With that, the material affects the following areas of a vest.
The durability.
The elasticity.
The comfort.
The style.
The design.
The features.
With this, we can say that the most common materials that vests are commonly made from are cotton and polyester, with a select few quality brands including elastane or spandex. With that, many cheaper brands tend to use acrylic, which is not as high quality or as durable as other materials in the industry.
Style
The design played a critical role in the evaluation process because we wanted to ensure that the product was designed of the best material value and built to last. Alongside this, our focus was geared toward the value of the design and what individuals can expect. In this process, we discovered that there are two common designs in the industry: those that are designed for stylish use and those that are designed for effective and beneficial use, other than style. Stylish items tend to have unique/fashionable patterns and unique designs while the sporty designs focus on different features. Common features of a quality vest include;
Moisture-wicking.
Highly breathable.
Elastic and stretchy.
Wind resistant.
Focused on warmth and comfort.
With that, many of these features are very common in the golf community among products and clothing items that are intended for the golf course. So, we can say that it is not rare to see.
Fit
We obviously wanted to focus on products that fit comfortably. However, there is a wide variety of different fits to consider ranging from slim-fit to casual fit, regular fit, and classic fit.
Value
Another important factor we wanted to consider was cost and value because we wanted to ensure that our audience was getting the best bang for their buck deal. With that, we can say that the value of each item is found in the quality and features.
