I’ve used this vest extensively since I received it, and am happy with my purchase. Very light, well made, and warmer than expected vest that works well as either an insulating layer under a shell or as a stand alone garment for cooler fall/ spring days. To date, have not had any problems with the down filling bleeding through the fabric. I would have given the vest a 5 star rating except for 2 minor issues - 1) when paired with a heavier shirt or sweater, the fit around the bottom edge of the vest is tight when zipped up, and seems to be an aggressive athletic slim fit cut, and 2) the stand-up collar always always seems to be in the way.
Disappointing product for several reasons. First, it fits differently than the Patagonia wool vest I own and enjoy (Size L). This product is long in the torso and has a high neck collar in comparison. Second, it is a trim fit, which I did not expect. Third, the high collar creates a cumbersome, unattractive spread when zipped three-quarters. Bottom line: I will return it. Incidentally, I am 6-2, weigh 190 lb, wear a 16.5in/35in shirts and have a 36in waist.
Color is more muted than apparent in the photos, which is fine with me. Zippers work as they should, plenty of pockets. The collar; it’s there and it’s not going away. It does stand up when open, but, when need the warmth for which you bought this 800 fill power down vest zipping all the way up and tucking the collar under the chin seals the neck perfectly, and because it down, it readily compresses and is unobtrusive. Love this vest.
Great to put on over a sweatshirt for extra warmth!!
I have been waiting to purchase this vest and the price was right
well-made light weight down vest from Patagonia.
