Free Country  Breakthrough Puffer Insulated Vest - Men's

Disappointing. The vest may look quilted but is so thin that I can feel no insulation. Arm holes are extremely tight, restricting movement. I don't consider this a good value, even at the sales price, and will return it.l

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The jacket is lightweight, yet very warm. What I like most about the jacket is that it has plenty of pockets, since I tend to carry a lot of little things, plus my phone, wallet, and keys. So if you are looking for a lightweight jacket that is still warm and allows easy access to the things in your pocket, this is your go-to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very surprised that such a low profile vest would keep my core warm. I wore this very comfortably all day in an office where I'm normally freezing and I've been wearing it since! The style looks cool and the vest is soft and comfortable. Doesn't hug the love handles and is true to size.

For those who are curious how this compares to a Patagonia vest like I was, here's the quick and dirty. Quality and warmth seem basically the same. The cut on this Free Country piece is definitely boxier and more forgiving, especially in the belly region. For me at 6' 175lbs at a medium in both, the Patagonia fits much more trim and looks better. I also liked the variety of color options available with Patagonia. I find Patagonia synthetic insulation holds up very well over time, so no info there on how the Free Country stacks up, but right out of the box they seem equal in warmth and loft (which is not a ton on this model). The chest pocket is internal on the Patagonia and external on the Free Country, so your choice there. The Free Country does have drop-in pockets on the inside while the Patagonia does not, so again, pick your choice. If you're looking for a quality piece at an amazing price and don't mind a boxier fit and your choice of either black or gray, the Free Country is a steal. I am gonna return this one and keep the Patagonia because it's more of a fashion piece for me and the trimmer fit matters a lot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's light but still feels warm without being constricting. Fits well and the black isn't too dark and should match well with most anything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great light weight vest. It packs down small. I keep it in my backpack for those days when I need an extra layer. Love it!
