Reviewed by ivorybwp from Upstate NY on Friday, April 05, 2013The vest is well-made and is really nice. The problem is...it's sized very large. Judging by the size of the woman in the photo...she's (at most) wearing a small. I'm an 8/10 and typically buy my jackets and vests in a large because I prefer a relaxed fit, and "gear" type brands tend to run small. Were I to exchange this, I'd get a small.

Reviewed by walks a lot from California central coast on Friday, March 29, 2013I bought this vest because I was looking for a vest with a lot of pockets to use when jogging or hiking. I was not disappointed! Not only are there two chest pockets that zip, one outer and one inner, there are two other inner pockets, one with a key hook on a long ribbon, and the other deep enough for plane tickets, etc, and each inner pocket has a little embroidered logo to indicate its purpose... not that the logos are necessary, but they are so cute. It is just this attention to detail which shows the quality and workmanship that went into the making of the vest. The front of the vest has the inner lining with the pockets which provide additional warmth, the back of the vest is unlined. It is somewhat lightweight but will probably be too warm to wear in the summer, unless you live in the fog-dominated west coastline, like I do. It fits perfectly. I bought a size small, and I am 5'6" and 130 lbs.

Reviewed by Sage Rider from New Mexico on Thursday, March 28, 2013I was disappointed when the zipper pulled apart at the bottom the first time I put it on. Not the typical quality from ExOfficio. Will return and try again.

Reviewed by Mudmom from Boston, MA on Tuesday, March 26, 2013I love this vest. I got both colors and wish there were more. The look is very neat, not binding in any way, and surprisingly warm as a mid-layer in this cold spring. I usually get a large but this vest runs big. The medium is perfect.

Reviewed by tgm from philly on Tuesday, March 26, 2013This is a great vest. comfortable and lots of pockets. Wish it had been available in a large. The medium fits when I am wearing a single layer,but would have liked to be able to wear it with multiple layers

Reviewed by Moonjude from New Hampshire on Sunday, March 17, 2013A really well constructed vest with many fine details-such as hidden zippered pockets, cozy fleece lined neck and drawstring at bottom so you can adjust the way the vest fits to your body. I love the muted purple color of the vest. It is warm and definitely keeps the strong northern New Hampshire winds at bay.

Reviewed by Cross country skier from Upstate NY on Tuesday, March 05, 2013This brand always comes through but this vest is exactly what I wanted for XC skiing. The medium fits me perfectly and it is slightly longer than my previous vest which I like. The thistle is a great color and matches most of my other ski clothes. The pockets are useful and in the right spots. Well-made & well-designed.

Reviewed by Cindle the cycl from MA on Monday, February 25, 2013I returned the vest because it ran too large, and black color showed lint like crazy (just from trying it on). Otherwise the construction is high quality and the pocket placement is very nice. I would order the other color option, but I already have a purple vest from a different brand.
