I spent a good deal of time looking over different down vests from different companies. I felt that for the price and quality this vest was exactly what I was looking for. It is slightly fitted across the chest (made for a women with bigger chest then me) but not too much and perfectly snug and warm. A couple people reviewed that the arm holes were big but I found them perfectly sized, I don't like them rubbing my armpits or getting sweaty! The sizing chart was correct for the size to order so make sure to check that out, I had to get a smaller size and when I looked at the chart I realized I should have looked at it before ordering in the first place. The only small issue I have is that it is a little puffy on the top part of the back but compared to how perfect everything else is I can't complain. Great for just wearing over shirts in the fall and I am excited to bundle it under jackets in the winter!
ProsGreat Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
I like this vest alot. It is warm without being too bulky. Love the color. I first wanted black but decided to go with the green and I just love the cheery color. There is only one thing I noticed that could be adjusted. the arm holes seem a little big. But maybe that is better for maneuverability.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected, nice looking, warm
I purchased this vest post-season and had limited options for color so I chose a lime green color which actually is quite nice. The vest itself is warm without being too bulky. I am happy with it. I will purchase other colors when new stock is available.
I have to write a review in support of those reviewers who said that the cut of this vest is very weird; that the bust is constructed so that it pokes out in a matronly fashion; that there are large gaps in the armhole fronts. I don't care for the gray lining color, and I think that the collar is too big.The vest really needs a better cut.
