Comments about REI Revelcloud Vest - Men's:
I bought this vest for added warmth on chilly morning hikes and to layer under my jacket when I ride my motorcycle. It really works! It's very warm for the weight and bulk. It packs small enough to always go wherever I'm headed. Takes up very little room in my pack or saddlebags.

Great vest. It looks nice, my wife even commented on it. It's windproof and surprisingly warm for the thickness. It's also incredibly light. Packed in its stuff sack it fits (just) in a long lens pocket in my camera bag.

I use this vest often; Fall, Spring, Winter. It's my go to for bike commuting, backpacking, mountaineering, etc. Makes a great pillow when in the backcountry. Compacts like a maniac. Does great in wind and mild rain / moisture. It's made of plastic bottles, folks! Buy this, use this, it's good stuff. I've had it for a year and it's my favorite layer.
Just bought the REI Revelcloud Jacket (Women's) for my wife and daughter. Solid.

Comments about REI Revelcloud Vest - Men's:
This is one of my favorite REI purchases. I was looking for a vest that was slim, yet retained heat. I have a down vest that is super warm, but also pretty bulky and therefore hard to layer. This vest is hardly noticeable under shells and allows for full mobility. I love to wear it over a mid layer hoodie, during weather that's not too hot yet not too cold. It's super lightweight and can compress into the included stuff sack or just shoved into a corner in your pack.

Comments about REI Revelcloud Vest - Men's:
I have recommended this vest to about 25 people so far. What impresses me the most is this vest's versatility. It's just fine in slightly cool weather, and still remarkably warm in cold weather, despite it's incredibly light weight. I take this everywhere I go and it has came in so handy on hikes where I didn't think I'd need it. I'm thinking about ordering a spare since every time something comes out that is this nice it gets discontinued. Murphy's law, I guess. :)

Love this thing. Bought a puffier, warmer REI vest at the same time, but this little baby has been more than enough for most days. Love the color too.

Comments about REI Revelcloud Vest - Men's:
I like this vest because it's thin enough to fit easily under a jacket but also warm enough that I can use it over a long sleeve shirt in fall or spring. I've used it almost daily during December and January in temps. ranging from 3 to 23º C. and even on windy days it's been warm enough at 3ºC to keep my chest and lower back warm. The only improvements I can think of would be a less glossy, or satiny, finish and an inner pocket. However, all three pockets have good zippers and are large enough for my needs.

I walk everywhere I go. This vest goes over a fleece on cold mornings, by itself on sunny days and under a rain coat on windy/rainy days. It's incredibly warm. The fit was strange at first over my shoulders as I wasn't used to wearing clothes made of sleeping bag material. It is incredibly warm which was the deciding factor for me instead of returning it. For me, this is a great vest for low to medium activity levels. For intense or high activity, it will roast you out. It's a super nice compliment to the gear I already have and I'm glad I purchased it.

Comments about REI Revelcloud Vest - Men's:
This vest is apparently marketed under snowsports but i've gotten the most use out of it on the bike. It's great to have something warm and windproof for the chilly morning ride to work, but it stuffs away really small for the warm ride home. It layers ridiculously well under a wind/rain shell or even something heavier like a softshell. I've also been very happy using it as an outer layer as it does indeed block wind well. The zipper works smoothly and is easy to adjust while riding. Although i got the vest after snow season, i'm looking forward to using it snowboarding next winter! I'm also planning to bring it on a future bike tour since it's so versatile.
I thought i wanted an orange one for better visibility, but got black instead and am really happy because i wear it off the bike a lot. I normally don't like the shiny harshness of black jackets but it's kind of a matte finish, making it more subdued. Very nice looking.
I'm normally a medium but i never can be sure with REI's stuff so i tried these vests on carefully before buying. I settled on a Small, to ensure it fit close and layered well. Because it does so well as a midlayer i strongly suggest trying one on to get the fit right for you.
