      Comments about Patagonia Down Sweater Vest - Men's:

      Be careful to zip up the front pockets slowly...the interior lining has a tendency to easily get caught up in the zipper; otherwise, a very great article of clothing that I'd recommend to anyone with style and who demands functionality at the same time.

        I have other down vests and what I love about this one is that very few feathers work their way out of the vest and onto my shirt. Even wearing a backpack doesn't push the feathers through the lining.

            Exactly what you hope this will be. Light, comfortable, warm. Zipper snags a little but that happens.

              Comments about Patagonia Down Sweater Vest - Men's:

              I mainly take this backpacking and pair it with a thermal long sleeve shirt as my thermal protection with a waterproof jacket on top if needed for rain and a base layer for comfort under it all. This is great for those cold mornings when you want your arms to be able to breathe but aren't ready to let your core temp drop.

              Don't worry about not having sleeves, how often do your arms get cold? It is usually your hands first, so get a pair of gloves. The weight and space savings is worth it.

              Also, be careful washing these, if the down does all clump together, get a few dryer balls and put it in the dryer on low or no heat and it will puff back up.

                This vest has been worn as outerwear as well as under another jacket. It's fit is perfect, it feels nice, and it performed well in the keeping warm department!

                  Was this thing wildly expensive? Yes. Did I buy this as an extravagant gift for myself while on a weekend retreat without my wife's knowledge of its true price? Yes. Do I love this thing and wear it eight days a week? Yes.

                  Movement other than walking causes the medium size vest to rise up to the coccix from way down on the buttocks. I was able to wear a sweatshirt and a medium REI fleece sweater under the medium.
                  The draft flap is narrow and barely protects the zipper, which has a pocket at the top so one's chin feels only fabric. The rear has a generous loop for hanging.
                  Two pockets (plus an left inside one) for one's hands in calm weather.
                  Yes, each wearing seems to shed a feather.

                    A nice, warm packable mid layer. Worn over a Patagonia R1 Hoody and under my Arcteryx jacket, I'm set for winter.

                    At 6'3" and 165 lbs, I found a Large to have too much bulk to it. Ended up going with a Medium as I wanted a close fit. Fits great other than I wish it had an extra inch or two of length at the bottom. The bottom sits just below my belt line, so it's not outrageously short, perhaps I'm just being picky.

                    One thing that's not debatable is that it looks great!

                      Comments about Patagonia Down Sweater Vest - Men's:

                      I picked this up in the Atlanta REI last year, and I'm getting ready to pull it out again. I pair it with a TNF Varius Guide Jacket and I'm set for wet, windy, and relatively cold weather (it can reach the low 30s sometimes down here in Florida). I prefer the use of a vest under the hardshell because my arms don't normally get that cold, and i have a better range of movement in the jacket.

                      A few DOWN-sides: it doesn't block the wind at all (not a problem when using it under a hardshell), and I've lost a little down when some feathers made their way through the fabric (which I guess is to be expected with almost any down garment).

                      All in all I'm very please with the vest and would recommend it to anyone.
