By Alex from NH on 07/16/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Cold Weather, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Lowe Alpine does tend to fit snug, which is what I find appealing in addition to the quality of their clothing. Medium fits me perfectly, I'm 5'9" 150lbs. The arm openings suit a slender fellow. Most vests tend to have openings that are way too large. The material is smooth and thick enough to provide warmth, but not too much.
Medium was too small for me By Raceyjase from Seattle WA on 06/30/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels too short Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I ordered the medium, a size I almost always wear. I'm 6'1" 180 lb. The fit was too tight across the chest and under the arms, and way too short. So I sent it back.
By Sammy from Chester, CT on 06/05/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Warm, Wind and Water Resistant Best Uses: Cold Weather, Hiking and Camping, Windy light moisture Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a nice mid-weight softshell vest, usual good Lowe Alpine quality. It does run small, except for the shoulders, which are wider than a normal vest cut. I would recommend this for windy damp conditions-3 season. Too heavy for temps much over 50.
By dwsteig from Andreas, PA on 02/21/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight Cons: Not truly windproof, Not very warm Best Uses: Cycling, Hiking and Camping, running Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very nice fit. I'm a 40" chest and the medium fits perfectly... nice and snug but not tight. Material is very stretchy and forgiving, but also seems very durable. High quality build, zippers, etc. Nice drop tail for extra coverage....especially on the bike.This is not a very warm vest, but works well as an outer layer for high output activities.... very breathable, but not windproof (always a tradeoff), seems pretty good at repelling moisture. Well worth it at retail, a no-brainer for under [$].
By ottereight from CT on 12/07/2008 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Beautifully made, the soft shell material is very solid but lightweight and not fleece-lined so not especially warm. Probably best for active pursuits like climbing and running where you want wind and moisture protection with great breathability. The cut is very athletic with a nice drop hem on the back but even given the cut i found it on the small side, tight around the chest. It is stretch though.
