Patrick et al,
Comparing the early wooly warm vest with this current one, the early
model is a flat weave where the new one is ribbed.
Because of the ribbing it is thicker. If you were to stretch it to the
point of being flat, it would be about the same.
I can’t say whether it would fit your needs for wind. I think of Nordic
fishing sweaters when I thing of preventing icy wind.
Anything dense enough to ward off the wind might cause you to overheat.
I used to carry a few sheets of newspaper to put under my sweater for
chilly descents.
I have an old Santini jersey with a nylon liner in the chest, it works as
well as newspaper.
