Keeping this in consideration, do vests really keep you warm?

Not only do vests work to keep your core insulated, your arms are free from bulky sleeves of insulated jackets. You've produced enough heat that your jacket is too warm, but it is still too cold to wear only your base layer. A vest can solve both problems and take the place of light or mid-weight jackets.

what is the point of a winter vest? In active wear, the major function of a vest is to keep the core warm while the extremities can vent both heat and moisture/sweat. In some conditions an athlete may find that a jacket doesn't vent well enough at the underarms, or that more protection against the elements is needed around the abdomen and neck.

Similarly one may ask, do puffer jackets keep you warm?

Filled with either down or synthetic materials, puffer jackets are excellent insulators, which means that they work to retain your heat and regulate body temperature no matter the outside weather.

What temperature should you wear a vest?

puffy vests don't necessarily fit in the universal category. They are good for when the weather is about 60 degrees. No more or no less.
