This is the most versatile piece of outerwear I have. I am absolutely thrilled and am thinking of ordering a second vest because it's limited edition. I love all the POCKETS! I love that it is reversible and there is also a chest pocket! The side pockets zipper on one side and on the other they are drop-in pockets. It's also warm! I wish it was recycled down but the synthetic insulation will do just fine. I got a size bigger to be able to wear a sweatshirt underneath.
This is an awesome vest! Fits true to size, looks stylish, and is great for layering. I would definitely buy again!
I like this best and I know I’ll use it a lot during this season. Perfect for spring and fall. I’m 5’3” and weigh about 130lbs, bought women’s medium but it’s larger than I thought so I could’ve got small size, and there’s no tapered around waist so it can be men’s S/M. It’s reversible so I can use it very often and I would love that but there are a lot of unfinished threads coming out like 2-3 inches on one side. But I can cut them off so I’d still give 5 starts. Many pockets are also a bonus.
I am curvy, so it is hard to find a vest or a jacket that is not tight between the waist and hips, that is also the right lenght (that would sit between waist and hip). I was really wishing that this vest would do that for me, I tried it on, and it fit perfectly! Thats why I bought it, and I will buy more for sure. . I am really enjoying wearing it, it has what I need, I am glad I bought it. Now I need more lol
This vest lends itself well as a top layer over fleece or even a down shell and is both warm and moisture resistant— however it runs small in the underarm holes and length. I'm a M-S (5'9") and bought a medium but it wouldn't accommodate layering over sleeves. I sized up to a large and you can't get me to take it off. It gets thrown over everything. Whether it matches or not. I love this thing.
I can't wait to wear this vest when the weather cools down. I tried this vest on as soon as it was delivered and am really impressed with the fit. I believe it is true to size. It is not too bulky, but it is thicker than other vests I own. I really like the fact that it is reversible and has a hood. Overall, very impressed with this vest.
been eyeing cotopaxi outerwear for a while and recently discovered they offer w sizes up to xxl - so i was finally able to order! this xxl *just* fits me, would be great if they offered xxxl like they do in men’s sizes. i love the reversable aspect, all of the pockets, and the colors. a fantastic lightweight vest with a hood!
I wanted this vest to work because I really like my Cotopaxi jacket, but the fit just didn’t work for me. I’m 5’3”, 115 lbs, and usually wear an XS. I ordered an XXS in this vest and while it fit, it wasn’t flattering. It was too boxy through the middle and made it look like I didn’t have a waist, so I ended up returning it.
Love this vest. Perfect for outdoors on the trail or to wear around town. Love that it’s reversible, too! Makes it that much more versatile. It does run a little big. I normally wear a large in jackets and vest because I like to have room to wear shirts underneath, but I exchanged the large for a medium and it fit perfectly!
The Teca Calida vest was a great purchase- not only did it keep me warm on a chilly, windy hike…you can reverse it to make two diffent looks! zippered pockets are a huge plus! I would purchase this again. i ordered my usual size- small and it fits perfectly over a thivk base layer.
