The term most commonly refers to upper-body wear worn by males. This article of clothing typically has a low, round neckline that can be worn for athletic purposes. So, by definition, there is a difference. An undershirt could be a vest if it's sleeveless, but a vest could not always be an undershirt. Vests, being sleeveless, will help with providing a bit of heat around your torso, however, being sleeveless that's where the warmth benefit stops.
On a cold winters day sleeves, short or long, go much further to help keep the cold air out and the warm air in. It's slightly counter-intuitive to put an extra layer on to keep from overheating, but in hot climates, it is often customary. Because it keeps you cooler if it's made from the right fabric. A moisture absorbing fabric captures your sweat and then slowly releases it. This has a cooling effect overall. As we tend to sweat most from our underarms, an undershirt with sleeves will keep you fresher than a vest.
Cool huh? Undershirts help prevent your shirts or jumpers from underarm stains caused by sweat or deodorants. They do this because they have sleeves. The area under the arm can absorb these substances. Vests by definition do not have sleeves, so your sweat or deodorant has a direct bee-line to your shirt or jumper.
The joke is an exercise in incomprehensibility and typically elicits one of two reactions: laughter or embarrassment. Laughter, at first hearing this joke, requires an ability to recast how we listen and interpret jokes as well as a flexible enough sense of self to see humor in our own limitations.
The other reaction comes from a sense of having missed something and the absence of intelligence or humor sharp enough to enjoy that. I was interested to figure out a bit more about why I keep telling this joke and so I deconstructed it in such a way as to ensure that it will never actually be funny again.
This turn must be surprising or unexpected, and yet it also must be, in some way, connected to the interrogative. The joke-teller must be able to link two ideas in such a way that is surprising but comprehensible to the joke-receiver.
Surprise cannot appear in the face of incomprehensibility, the link between interrogative and response cannot be non-existent: it should be non-typical. Knock, Knock jokes take a culturally familiar interrogatory and change the direction of it at the end, even as they rely on the unity of the convention to create the expectation that is denied. They change the direction of the idea at the end.
However, jokes themselves have become a convention capable of creating expectations. Some jokes use the idea of joke-telling in a backwards manner to create humor though the poignancy of some of that humor has eroded from long use. This answer is nothing more than an explicit description of the action previously questioned.
Though posing as an answer, it can be mostly read as a simple restating of the interrogative. The answer provides no new information and therefore, no surprise. The answer itself is as mundane as the question and so the expectation of humor — the convention of the joke — is denied and therefore, fulfilled.
Of course, this joke has become a convention in itself. It is its own parody and therefore lacks the reality of humor that it exhibits in structure.
Still, it is an excellent example of turning the convention of joke structure back on itself, a concept that is vital to continue with analysis of the joke I have offered above. Sometimes it is best to keep it simple.

If your activities will be more demanding physically and may cause you to sweat, choose a lighter-weight vest. Your second consideration should be the material of the vest, especially the outershell.
