A week on Cape Cod in July, do I really need a puffer vest?

I was told it would be something great to have handy because it’s chilly by the water but your arms can remain free.
The one I own is like this but in black: https://shop.lululemon.com//shop.lululemon.com/p/jackets-and-hoodies-jackets/Pack-It-Down-Vest-Shine-MD/_/prod11772169 |

| Huh? It can get cool at night there but there is no magic to what you pack to account for that - I have never brought a puffer vest, I pack a sweatshirt or sweater. |

| A puffer vest? I always put on a sweatshirt or Patagonia pullover. |

| I've never owned a puffer vest in my half a century on earth and am thriving despite that. I do however, get accommodations at work for my lack of puffer vest which is a disability I persevere through via a support group. |

| I would take a hoody - I always have one in Maine in the summer and sometimes I need it. |

| A sweatshirt is plenty. And even then, you could just buy one at Cuffy’s if you really need it. |

| Pretty much live on the Cape during the summer. A sweatshirt, tracksuit type zip up, cardigan, etc are fine. Puffer vests aren't very common |

| Are you european? If so, a puffer vest is required in summer. |

A sweatshirt will keep you warm enough. Californians on the Cape (including my entire extended family  ) wear Patagonia fleece at night. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone wearing a down vest.

| How about a sweatshirt or a fleece OP? |

| I would bring a wool sweater and jacket, unless the forecast is in the 90s. |

It’s not their fault, those young betches bought up all the coastal grandmother sweaters. The vests are all they have left. |
