A little too long

3 years ago
This is a very nice vest—certainly up to Patagonia’s quality—but it is oddly long. It is long enough that I don’t think it fits well under a shorter jacket. I should say that I’m quite short—5’1”—so others may not have a problem with this. I like the vest and plan to keep it, but I wish it was about 3 inches shorter.

very long and bulky

3 years ago
I have an old one in navy Large that fits perfectly. I ordered this one in a large and it is incredibly long-like down on my thighs, and incredibly bulky on the top half. I can’t remember if my first one was like this and if it shrank. The medium fits much better on the top half, but is still really long and doesn’t fit well around my hips. I’m disappointed because this new version seems to fit so much different than my first

Warm but lightweight

1 year ago

Warm but lightweight and very cute. I’m usually a small but decided to size down for a fitted look. It was a bit snug in the arm holes so you can’t wear a thick sweater, maybe just a single layer or base layer. Not a fan of the length as it went well past my hips and I’m 5’4”. Other than that I will keep it cuz it’s great to wear under a jacket!

Cute cozy vest

3 years ago

Awesome color, fabric is so soft and cozy. It is a bit boxy of a cut, could be a little slimmer around the waist but it's fine. The rounded corners on the bottom by the zipper is a little funny looking but I still love it. Wish the breast pocket was a vertical zipper instead of horizontal but not a big deal.

Super cute, order a size down for the right fit

2 years ago

Love this vest for high desert spring, it is perfect amount of warmth for the wind and cuteness for trips into town....but like the other reviews state, you must order one size down bc Patagonia insists on oversizing everything nowadays!! It is frustrating but once you figure it out, things are back to normal.

Sizing issue

2 years ago

Although I loved the vest, I felt the sizing was meant for a man not a woman. The arm holes were huge and it fell 3 inches longer than I expected. It could be the vest I never wear!

Doesn't fit like other Patagonia vests

2 years ago

I wanted to add a more colorful vest to my wardrobe (of Patagonia vests) and found that this is not cut like other Patagonia women's vests. It is not shaped and the armholes are very large.

Size way off

Sizing or Labeling problem. I ordered a Womans XL because I wanted to layer. It was GIGANTIC. Fit like a Men'sXXL

Nice and fuzzy!

2 years ago

Nice and fuzzy! Perfect for fall and winter. The large size is consistent with my other Patagonia vests. I love the chest pocket.
