Nice vest but it runs small around the hips and broad in the shoulders; designed for a man's body. It seems like so many brands think that they can just change the colors of items and call it women's sizing. It should go without saying that we are shaped differently and deserve to have that applied to our clothing choices. This general failure is especially prevalent in trail and outdoor clothes and backpacks. Returning for a refund.
I have 2 previous versions of this vest that I have worn a zillion times and love. I wanted this mauve color, but the new style is not great. The arm holes are large and the hips are tight. I have smalls in the two previous versions so figured this size should be the same. It wasn’t. I’m afraid if I got a medium it would fit the hips, but be giant in the chest. So sad I have to return it because the color is lovely.
Although this vest didn't seem to have much down in it, it is quite warm. Also, I had seen reviews saying that it fit small. But I ordered an xxl as I am 5"7' and weigh 175 pounds. Given the size I can put a sweater on under it. I'm impressed.
This latest update is great except the arm holes are huge! The iteration before this one is awesome...can still find them on sites that sell used....... too bad everything that has attention to details goes by the wayside! Devolving into a mushpile of sameness! I won't purchase these anymore they lool sloppy if your petite!
I just received the down vest today, and it is summertime. For obvious reasons I can’t review how it works in the cold! My first impression however is I love it! I got the navy blue in a medium. I am 5’6” and 128 pounds with a thin athletic build. It fits perfectly with sweater underneath . The length is perfect, and it looks really well made and cute. Very happy with it
This vest is warm but not bulky. I am 125 ibs, 5’6” and the medium fit me perfect. Should add that I like layering my clothes in the winter so a little more room for two layers is needed.
It's no shade of white. It's yellow. And the material is so thin you can see the feathers inside. Kinda gross.
This vest is everything I wanted. I’m 165lb, small bust, bigger waist, and I ordered the XL. I wear it over wool sweaters and the fit is good. Excellent warmth. I’m not bothered by the cut like some other reviewers. I like having sufficient space under my arms.
I love the warmth of this vest. It's a great layering piece. It has a lot of pockets. The only thing I had trouble with is the fit. I found it tight around my hips so I went up a size. It’s not an ideal fit but the vest is perfect for my needs so I am keeping it.
