They are wonderful for evading airplane carry-on limits, but also for keeping all sorts of things close at hand while hiking, like extra camera lenses and the like.
I haven't seen the need of their heavier stuff--if I want more warmth I add another layer. By using a heavy vest you force yourself to wear it even if it gets too warm.
