“Not actually windproof”

“Overall I think this is a nice vest; it is attractive enough to wear around my casual-professional office, and it is pretty cozy to wear. I like that the outer layer is not fleecy, and thus will not pick up lint and pet hair. The inside fleece is nice and warm. I live in a very windy place, and bought this vest because of the claim that it is windproof; I assumed that it contains some version of a windstopper fabric. Not true... the Ex Officio tag that is attached does not claim that the vest is windproof, but rather 'wind resistant'. Indeed, I tried it out in the wind, and compared it to a vest with Gore Windstopper: there is a difference. If you live in a windy place, and the wind cuts to your bones, and you are looking for a solution, this will help - but won't completely alleviate the problem. That said, it is still a nice vest that works for hiking or around town. The XS that I got still feels a little large on me (90 lbs, 5 ft tall); probably closer to a size 4 than the 0-2 that was advertised.”
