What customers say:
The LL Bean Trail Model Down Vest '82 is generally well-received by customers. Many praise its warmth, comfort, and true-to-size fit. The down filling is described as lofty and providing good insulation. Customers appreciate the classic retro look and snap buttons. However, some found the vest flimsy, not very warm, or boxy in shape. There were also mixed opinions on the large logo, limited color choices, and lack of a zipper. Overall, it is considered a good quality, warm, and comfortable down vest, though the fit and style may not suit everyone's preferences.

Nice quality
The quality is nice, but it ran big the next size down was too tight. I could be because it is a unisex vest.

Great idea but not the same fabric
Great to recreate a vest with snaps. I had forest green. Not shiny, probably nylon, with the same fabric for the interior. Comfy and warm with the wool bird's eye sweater or under

Too narrow in the hips
Since this was a man’s/woman's sizing it was too narrow in the hips. I had to return it. I really wanted this to work out, but it just didn’t. Men don’t have the hips that women ha

Sizing for women is not right

Height: 5'3"

The vest is a unisex, which makes it a longer than a woman's vest. Because of the length to accommodate both men and women the vest hangs down below my hips. It pulls way too tigh
