Reviewed by Sunshine from Southeast U.S. on Saturday, February 02, 2013This vest will be perfect for day hikes or while bicycling. I'm sure I'll be using it when we are vacationing in Europe later this year.

Reviewed by Beachcomber from Northern Florida on Monday, December 24, 2012A great vest for everyday causal wear, fall through spring in Florida. This is the second color that I've purchased in this style.

Reviewed by Tracey from Carmel, CA on Tuesday, October 09, 2012All of a sudden, I'm into vests, and this is a great one! It's well-made, not boxy, stylish, but with enough pockets for keys, a small wallet, and a few other essentials. It's a great vest for layering, for a stylish, but practical look. As said, it's well made, with taped seams around the neck. The pictures on the website are great, but it's even better looking in person! I wish I had bought the vest in the color Fossil when it was still available in Medium. BTW, I'm 5'2" and 110lbs, and the Medium was a good fit for me, so order accordingly.

Reviewed by willis from SLC, Utah on Friday, September 07, 2012I read the reviews and realized that I would need to order up a size except that I plan to wear this vest open over a T shirt or open as a layer with my denim jacket. When the vest arrived, I am happy with my size M but if I had planned to wear this as a vest & zip it up completely, I would want to order up a size. I am 5/"6 weight 130lb and usually wear size 8. Thanks people for wirting helpful reviews!

Reviewed by OlderPerson from Sunnyvale, CA on Monday, February 06, 2012Great vest- stylish, nice color, useful pockets, zipper at both ends, really comfy, and fit that's true to size. It's long enough in the torso to keep your backbone covered. I liked it well enough to make a second order for the sage color.

Reviewed by zoogirl from Memphis, TN on Thursday, November 17, 2011I love these vests. The previous models had pockets on the chest which I prefer - this one did not (spring 2011?). I have them in smaller sizes to wear under a light shirt at work and they look neat-casual, and I have the next size up for wearing over layers. They are small, if you want to wear it as a true spring/fall outer layer go up a size, there is a toggle in back to sinch the waist. Take out of the dryer very early to avoid the zipper puckering too much.

Reviewed by GirlScout from Oakland on Thursday, November 17, 2011I was hoping for a winner with the Columbia brand but good quality control is rarely consistent anywhere. As a petite older female whom has long since discarded the training bra days, this vest would suit a child or very slim dwarf. The design and purpose seem great but good luck zipping it up. With that said, a large size did not help.
