It's not useless, unless you've already got all in-game items.

Wilson has his beard advantage, that adds a lot of insulation (more than two minutes with a full grown beard); that coupled with a heat stone and a head insulation item grants you all the heat you need to protect you for most parts of the day, allowing you to even explore and roam around without having to set things of fire or placing a camp.

Other characters have much greater insulation issues, so they cannot roam as much as Wilson does (In the pre-alpha stream, I recall the dev saying they were planing on rebalancing some of the characters, even by adding activated skills to them). Unless people sticks near their camp for the entire winter, vests are useful for moving around, and in Adventure mode if playing a character that is not wilson.
