Stio  Pinion Down Vest - Men's

Everything I own is a size men's Large. I'm 5'-10", 195, medium athletic build. Ordered the Pinion vest in L and it's a tent. Fit's like an XXL. I laid the 2026 Pinion vest in Large over a 2024 Stio Environ jacket in Large. The vest is actually WIDER throughout the torso than the Environ shell. This is a quality control issue between the manufacturer in Vietnam and the Stio clothes buyer. Other than that "minor issue" the vest is a nice thermal weight and has convenient deep interior stash pockets on both sides and a nice zippered interior pocket. Exterior zippered pockets are functional but would be better if lined with a low-knapp liner with a warmer texture.

On my way to Park City to teach my 4 Year Old Grandson to ski for the first time. I didn’t leave home without it!

I originally ordered an XXL based on comparison to model shown on website. While STIO has an excellent reputation for quality clothing they also have a demonstrated tendency for garments running way small of a designated size. I'm an athletic male of 6'4" and the XXL was stylish but a tad too tight. The reorder of an XXXL reflected none of the style in the smaller garment. It was a quick cut and sew job of a potato sack. I'm sure that their thought process included "too big to leave the chalet". Quality product with minimal thought to a different demographic.

I’ve used this vest for skiing and find it comfortable and a good vest to wear with my Stio enviro storm jacket. /Users/vanstonshaw/Pictures/Photos Library. photoslibrary/resources/derivatives/0/0D698C50-EA0C-41B4-860F-B7DB0C310C91_1_105_c. jpeg /Users/vanstonshaw/Pictures/Photos Library. photoslibrary/resources/derivatives/2/2DB9AC23-1516-4560-941A-A7527ED1262E_1_105_c. jpeg

I'm glad I tried it on. I'm 6'2" 175lbs 15 years ago ( same height and weight ) I would have picked a large in most brands. I haven't changed but sizing sure has. I regularly buy medium shirts/outerwear now, but this vest is a small. I like it, but am sxratching my head about the size.

I have the pinion jacket in a M a d love it. Ordered the pinion vest in the same size and it fits completely different. Much baggier through the mid-section. Will be returning and looking for something slimmer cut.

Picked it to wear in the office and to layer under my ski jacket on the really cold days. Sadly ski season ended on the East coast before it arrived, but I see it being a great layer when next season rolls around.

This is maybe the 6th or 7th Stio piece I've bought. As usual, the fit, quality, and color are excellent. I've become a walking billboard for the company. Shouldn't I be getting a significant discount? 🤔

This is the warmest vest that I have ever had and I find that it warms up the longer that you wear it. It also is very lightweight and I do not even realize that I am wearing it sometimes.

I had been looking for a mid-weight vest for skiing, golf, and wearing in town. This satisfied all of those needs nicely and is very good looking to dress up over a sweater or 1/4 zip.
