IME polartech 100s tights were pretty handy for skiing/ paddling/ biking/ out door activities, I got fleece that is 25 yars old maybe the problem is the stuff never wore out whereas merino bugs my skin and gets a hole if I look at it

Because you lose most of your heat from your core, why wouldn't you want an extra layer over your arms where you don't need it, with the added "bonus" of restricted motion?
Not fleece, but I recently pulled a WindStopper Eider vest from the back of my closet and put it back into my layering rotation. It's great on the up-track: base layer + midlayer + vest or just the base layer + vest.

I layer with a fleece vest. Recently, (within the past 2 years), I picked one up at the GMD ski shop and another one up at the DV signature store on Main Street in PC

Synthetic insulation that is air permeable like the nano air or ventrix is lighter than equivalent fleece pieces.
TLDR; Ski faster. Quit breathing. Don't crash.

Tell me a color, size, and whether you want a fundraiser, insurance, bank, car dealership, or (yacht/snowmobile/country) club logo, and I can probably get one to you for about $10. The local thrift stores are inundated with the damn things.

Vests are also nice for ski touring because you can put them on and take them off quickly. Sleeves can get hung up on gloves or base layers, and jackets also take up more room in a pack. When conditions are right a vest is the perfect way to add just enough warmth or wind protection.

For the first time, I went looking for one. A nice light softshell or fleece vest. Couldn't really find one. Costco is already past their softshell season, I guess. Some of those hybrids are cheap enough that you could just cut off the arms.
I noticed there are still a lot for women. I saw some heavier ones for men. no idea.
