    This is a nice down vest that isn't too bulky, and has a flattering fit. Great for when it gets cooler.

    Other reviews mentioned this garment running small, but for me, it is very true-to-size. I first ordered a Large but had to exchange it for a Medium (my usual size). I am a blue-jeans girl pretty much 24/7 and this will be a great addition to my wardrobe for any and all occasions and times of day. It is really cute, with lots of zippers and pockets, and I am (almost) looking forward to cold weather again, just so I can wear it.

    Nicely made and durable, but too noisy for my taste. The fabric makes a rustling noise when you move. It's hard to explain in a review, but let me just say that, if you are looking for a soft and quiet vest for everyday wear, I would go with something else.

    This is a nice vest and I like all the pockets and side vents, too. One can wear it for adventure or even going out at night since it is white and can have multiple uses.

    I love this vest for just running around town (stay at home mother of three always on the go). But I've also worn it out on the town with my girlfriends and have gotten many compliments on it. It's classic and timeless. The best features are the snaps in addition to the zipper and the side slits with zippers, that allow you a little extra room for bulky sweaters or big meals! ha ha
