The puffer vest is described as lightweight yet warm, suitable for layering in cool weather. Customers found it comfortable, stylish, and suitable for various activities. The vest is considered well-made, with features like deep pockets and a smooth zipper appreciated by reviewers. While a few minor criticisms were noted, such as the collar being a bit high and the pockets not being deep enough, the overall consensus is that this is a high-quality, versatile vest that can be worn year-round.
I was looking for a comfortable vest for that extra warmth without bulk! It’s a great length and fit and doesn’t look lumpy and shapeless. Great purchase!

I tried several other vests before getting this one. This one fit me the most comfortably. The neck can be worn up or down. It is not too bulky, so it packs well. You can even wear

Practical and packable
Fit: True to size
It’s thin enough for my carry-on bag. The top of the shoulder seam could be a bit longer in the medium. A useful piece when traveling between climates.

Good weight for dog walking this time of year in the Pacific Northwest when it can go from chilly to warm quickly. I like the length, too.

This was so thin and light compared to the last two years’ models I bought, definitely will be returning and not very “puffer vest” like!

Lightweight vest. Perfect for Fall and could even go under a loose coat. I gave blue and black. Kinda long-would recommend getting a petite if you’re petite.
