SuperStrand LT Vest - Women's

Warm vest and great down alternative, but my only complaint is it's rather puffy.

Love this vest!

This is a great lightweight mid layer. I got this vest because I wanted a warm mid layer without down and a hood. This checked all the boxes. I have loved using it for alpine and backcountry skiing, and snowmobiling. My only complaint is about the poor quality zipper. I have another OR vest that I've had for 15+ years. It has a very substantial zipper. I highly doubt this zipper will last even half the time as my other one. OR, please go back to using sturdy zippers! The weight saving is tiny compared to the durability and longevity of a good zipper.

Love this vest

Very light, very warm. It can be layered or it can stand alone. It is true to size. I am 67 years old, 5ft 2in, 115 lbs and I got the medium so that I would have room for a fleece or heavy sweater underneath.

Comfortable, Light, and Warm

This vest is lightweigh and very comfortable. A great length and overall fit. It doesn't poke my face around the neck (like many other vests or jackets). I purchased the sulphur for it's safety visibility. I am 5'8" & 140 lbs and the size Small is perfect. I gave it a 4-stars instead of 5-stars because I can see the down/fill material through the outer nylon fabric.

Light weight option for warmth

Took this little vest on my first ever bike packing trip and the nights got colder than I expected. My summer weight sleeping bag was not enough and I found myself using this vest to keep me warm at night while sleeping. It worked absolutely great and it stuffed easily into the nooks and crannies of my panniers. On the nights I didn't need to wear it, It made an excellent pillow while in a stuff sack. I washed it when I got home and it washed up well-looks perfect still. I am usually a size medium, and occasionally a size large, depending on how I want something to fit. I ordered this in a medium and it fit perfect. I am 5'8" and about 150 pounds with a relatively small upper body.

Love it

I've looked at women's vests, but haven't purchased one until now. Many of the other vests are puffy and I felt like I'd look like a marshmallow in one. The SuperStrand LT Vest is warm, fits comfortably and is attractive. The vest is just the right amount of warmth without all the puffiness.

Good vest

Perfect for layering or wearing on its own on warmer days! Fit is good too!

Incredible Warmth, Light Weight

This light weight vest provides so much warmth for the weight. I compare this to a Columbia down vest with 600 fill down, and the OR SuperStrand is easily just as warm if not more. Fit is true to size.

I've worn it several times under my ski jacket. It's kept me warm and kept the wind out. It's lightweight and cute by itself. I am very happy with this purchase

Warm and lightweight

Super warm for how thin and lightweight it is. It immediately became a staple for both alpine and XC skiing in NW Montana. At 5'9" & 155 lbs, the large leaves plenty of room for layering underneath. One request- I wish they made one with a hood for the extra chilly days!
