The hooded down vest is praised for its warmth, comfort, and lightweight design. Customers highlight the usefulness of the hood, especially in windy conditions. The vest is generally reported to fit well and be true to size, though a few note it runs slightly large. The quality and style of the vest are also positively commented on, with some owning multiple colors. However, a few reviewers mention issues with the fit, particularly a boxy shape, and limited color options. Overall, the consensus is that this is a versatile and valuable vest.
Excellent quality and it is perfect for layering over sweatshirts, turtlenecks, etc. It was a great investment.

Love this vest from LL Bean. It's my first in years. I love how it sits just at my waist and love the weight of it as well.

This vest is warm without the bulk. I would have given 5 stars if the best were a blt longer and had an inside pocket for a cell phone. Other than that I have nothing bad to say

Great autumn vest!

I've been loving this very cozy puff vest! Paired with a sweater it's been keeping me warm as the weather cools with a sweater. Great to have the hood if it starts to precipitate.
