I’ve only worn this vest a couple times and I liked it but I spilled a little bit on myself and it stained. After I spilled, I dabbed it with a napkin and then washed it when I got home and the marks were still there. It was just a little dressing not like a full glass of red wine. Clearly the vest has zero liquid repelling ability. Don’t waste your money.

I LOVED the color and vest weight. I'm always medium in need just just one more inch around the hips, and this ran up my waist because it fit perfect everywhere else but was too tight on the hips. As for the crinkles..well... it is loud when you wear it.

I really live this vest, it is true that runs small. I sized up from Small to Medium, because my bra size is 36C and it worked just perfect.

Sizing issue

I returned this product before using it

I love this brand and I have a fleece jacket that is a medium and it is perfect. I ordered this vest in a large thinking I'd have room to layer under it since the medium in the other item fits so well. This was sooooo tight. I hate when sizing is so inconsistent within a brand. Sadly returning though the vest itself seems a nice quality. I also decided it is too thin for what I'm looking for.

Super light and packable layer!

I LOVE this vest! It is extremely light, but very warm considering how thin it is. Packs perfectly into my backpack for an extra layer. Great fit - I am 5'4"., 125 lbs and wear a small in order to fit some layers underneath. I wear this under ski gear or spring, summer or fall with a layer or sweater underneath.

the best for multiple seasons

This is so light and breathable, i can feel comfortable in this on cool spring and fall days. It also packs a solid punch as a mid-layer in colder months. The close to body fit allows me space to move, while fitting seamlessly in with a shell jacket. It has the technical specs for grand adventure, but I also wear this casually all the time.

My go-to vest!

I wear this vest nearly every day in the fall and winter. It is extremely light and packable. The fill is synthetic so you never have feathers popping out. The fit is slim but comfortable. I'm 5'5" 115lbs and wear an XS in this vest. I can easily fit a sweatshirt or flannel underneath.

Comfort and Style

I recently traveled and wore this vest everyday for two weeks and it held up beautifully. It was impeccable at all times, comfortable, a great fit, and very light. I’m absolutely happy with this piece and plan to use it for many years to come.
