Easily stained
This is a very comfortable vest. That said, this vest probably spends more time in the washer than actually wearing it, because like some car seats, even water stains the front, which is a soft outer shell. I have even tried putting a new DWR finish on it. It doesn't matter. It still stains quite easily. IT is a far better mid layer. That way you can keep it from staining.
light and stretchy
Bought this in the summer so can't comment on warmth but will on fir: 5'10, 165 and medium fits snug. It would work over 2 layers max I imagine. Torso is a little long as others have mentioned but it fits me fine. I imagine it will be a staple once the temps drop. The material is super light which has me wondering about durability. . . .
Nice vest
Slim fitting. Chest pocket fits a big phone and has a zipper. 2 zippered pockets. Made for aerobic activity with a smaller amount of insulation, which is good. My only complaint is I like hoods on pretty much everything. But most people probably don’t. I’m 5’10”, 175# and the large fits great. So far I’m very pleased.
Warm, but not too warm
I bought this for my husband to run and fatbike in the winter, it is great for those endurance workouts where you sweat a lot, yet need to keep warm.
Great Product!
This Vest has been a lifesaver on cold mornings up in the BC, Thanks Black Diamond!
