This was my first vest purchase in a long while and I’m so glad I did it. It looks super cute and keeps the core nice and warm. I struggled with deciding on the garnet/saddle or peacock/carob color and opted for the latter since I have a couple jackets in the garnet color already and love it. People envy all over this thing. I love the variety of pockets on the outside and in—very functional without looking like a “technical” piece. It is a bit roomier around the midsection than perhaps necessary, but since I’m in postpartum land, I appreciate it at the moment (though you may want to try sizing down if you’re in between sizes). Pair it with the Etta Beanie or the Effie Beanie to look effin’ awesome!

Sizing not accurate
linda514 years ago
I checked the size guide and my own measurements before ordering the size I would normally expect to wear. The vest barely came together over my hips. It is much too tight in that area to layer over other clothes. It looks nice but it's simply not sized as advertised.

New favorite layer!

I love love love this vest. It is warm and comfy. Perfect for a chilly day or sitting in the office, when you don't want the bulk of wearing a jacket all day (it also looks better than wearing a jacket all day). I've never used vests before but now I'm sold. The amount of puffy is very warm but not huge. The pockets are useful and lined with soft material. I haven't used it beyond casual in town wear yet, but I expect it would be as good anywhere that a down layer would. After reading other reviews that said it fits larger than expected, I got the size small and it fits perfect (I am 5'7" and 145 lbs). My normal women's t-shirt size is medium.

Perfect midlayer for cold days or top layer for morning walks. Incredibly well made and durable. Washes well too.

Fits great, not so warm.

I use this vest as a midlayer in the winter and an outer layer in the spring and fall for hiking and snowsports. The fit is great and it looks really good. With 650 fill I expected it to be warmer and puffier. I have another down jacket with the same fill and down quality and it is noticeable thicker and warmer. I will still use it just not for cold days.

I use this jacket around the city, and belaying at the crag. It's perfect. I have gained a lot of weight in the off season (5'3" 180) but the medium still fit me, although it will def be a better fit once I start training again !! I live in this vest

Nice warm vest

Lovely vest. I used it a lot this past winter for work since it gets chilly here (just above freezing but plenty of rain and wind) but I need my arms free, and it was very good at keeping my core warm. I've had to wash it a fair few times and it has been holding up well. I'm 5'9" and 150lbs with wider shoulders and hips (42"); I got a L and it fits my hips perfectly but it leaves the waist really baggy. So it gets the job done well and the peacock colour is lovely, but not the slimmest/most fashionable. I think next one I'll try M.

Easy Warm Comfort

Love this vest. I really like the color, and plan to wear it with some greyish/heather black sport shorts I have, when I need some warmth, in the Spring and Summer. It's easy to wear and feels like it has always been mine, like an old sweater at the back of the closet! But it's nice and new and pretty... yet, sporty.

I would recommend this product with a clause

I absolutely love this vest for both in town and the backcountry! It fits wonderfully and is very comfy. I've used it in chilly and windy weather, and it keeps my core temperature nice and regulated. On the flip side, I also just wear it around the house nicely. The only thing I'd modify is the buttons on the pockets; it feels as if they may someday rip out of the fabric. Thus I keep them unbuttoned almost all the time. I'm 5'6" at 150 lbs, and a medium fits beautifully.
