[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I picked this vest out for a Christmas gift. It fits very well, with slight waist shape- less than I wanted but it turns out it looks great! I thought the vest was slight on the front dorm fill, but discovered it was just from the packing! It just took time to expand. It is very comparable to the Patagonia sweater vest, but at a much more reasonable price. Very nice quality! True to size. I am a petite 6-8 and the Small fits perfectly. My Measurements: Bust 35.5, Waist 29, Hip 37
I love the light weight of it, but that's about it. This vest is way too long and, without a double up-down zipper that would relieve the tightness at the hips when seated, it's just uncomfortable as hell. I love the roomy zippered outer chest pocket, but when you put both cell phone and wallet in there (which seems safer than a side pocket to me), the jacket hangs weirdly lopsided. An inside pocket on the opposite side would have been really nice.
The color is just what I was looking for and compliments both greens and blues. I bought it based on color as I have another down vest from Patagonia that is more a bight turquiose and wanted something a bit more subtle. Both are good - the collar on this stands a bit higher, the Patagonia has 90% goose down, this has 85%Duck down and 15% duckfeathers. This does have a nice chest pocket tho.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought 3 of these vests for family members and they all wear them everyday around the house and when out and about. I got them on sale with additional discount so great value for 700-down power fill with lifetime warranty. I also got the men's version for myself and am wearing it now while I'm typing this review.

It’s warm, and the warmth from down is the best there is. It fits over a hoodie. It has deep hand pockets. It has a third pocket for a phone. It zips up to perfectly warm my neck. When it’s unzipped, I can wear it inside for more gentle warmth.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great vest. Love it! When it went on sale I bought it immediately. Its so light, not bulky, doesn't make you look bigger. Great length on me, I bought xl I'm 5"8" is longer on me than what it looks like on models. Sizing is correct.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this vest for jogging outside on cold days, exercising, hiking, or wearing to the office or running errands. It's an all-around game changer for all-seasons.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great warmth. Would love a petite option - arms holes too big and shoulders too high, but that does make it good for bulkier hoodies underneath.
I received the vest in black. The fit is perfect, and quality is excellent. Very pleased.
