By DY from Melbourne, Aust on 07/09/2008 Pros: 2 way zip, Versatile, Warm Best Uses: Daily Use, Going Out Describe Yourself: Bargain Shopper, Casual Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very warm vest with very cosy neck, but compromised by a excessively generous fit around the trunk which allows cold air to enter/warm air to escape. Just wear a sweater underneath and it's fine. I am a skinny person but it's still quite big for its labelled size. Sturdy 2 way zipper and 4 large and warm outside pockets are practical. The zippers on the 2 inside pockets are a bit flimsy and are not that easy to use when fully open or closed, but not worth mentioning. Microfibre lining inside extends to the collar and wraps around the neck- very warm and comfy. It is lined with 55/45 feather/down. I have seen a couple of feathers coming through the outer fabric but it's minimal. Outer material is nylon and water-resistant treated, it feels like soft thick cotton and appears to be durable. A well-made vest, I like it so far!
Warm and Good Looking (like my wife) By Dave from Vermont on 07/06/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Good Cut, Lightweight, Warm Best Uses: Bad Weather, Daily Use, Going Out, Travel Describe Yourself: Bargain Shopper, Casual, Classic Sizing: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great vest for use when temps are in the 40's and 50's. Keeps arms free for strenuous activities, while keeping the wearer warm.
Great for men, no way for women By SuBee from Seaside, OR on 06/04/2008 Pros: Durable, Lightweight, Versatile, Warm Best Uses: Bad Weather, Daily Use Describe Yourself: Bargain Shopper, Casual, Trendy Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I ordered a Medium based on the Chest measurement and when it arrived, I could have fit two of me in it! Its really big! I bought it for the long length but I don't think I could have ordered one small enough to actually fit. Its a really great fabric though.
Better than it looks online By Rafferty's Rules from Mittagong, Australia on 06/04/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Durable, Good Cut, Great Quality Fabric, Warm Best Uses: Bad Weather, Daily Use, Going Out, Travel Describe Yourself: Bargain Shopper, Casual, Classic Sizing: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Having recently moved to a colder part of Australia, I purchased this vest and hoping it would be as stated in the ad. However, when it arrived I was dumbfounded by the quality, style, and warmth it offered. I couldn't find anything down her for less than $200 that even comes close to it. I can wear it while working as it doesn't limit freedom of motion. A GREAT buy!
Incredibly warm for a vest By Ted from Virginia on 04/18/2008 Pros: Good Cut, Versatile, Warm Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Vest fits well, conforms to shape and doesn't allow drafts. It is a little heavy for a vest (weightwise).
To me, it has a huge poofy collar that juts up into my face. I prefer vests that are layer components and do not interfere with covering layers. This vest's collar competes with any top layers (coat, scarf). Even my raincoat is affected.
Construction and materials are first rate.
The vest allows excellent freedom of movement for the arms, which is what I wanted. I purchased the vest for use while fly fishing.
Soft, snuggly and good looking.
