What customers say:

Customers overwhelmingly praise this vest for its exceptional lightweight warmth and packability, with many describing it as an essential layering piece they wear daily. The flattering, non-puffy cut and tailored fit appeal to reviewers who appreciate how it layers seamlessly without bulk. Customers highlight secure zippered pockets and thoughtful design details, with many owning multiple versions in different colors and expressing strong brand loyalty. A small number note the newer version feels thinner and less structured than prior models, and a few mention stiff collar fabric or minor pilling. Despite these minor concerns, most consider it a versatile wardrobe staple worth repurchasing.

Lightweight and packs small, but for the price it should have a two-way zipper. 5’5’. 125. Medium fit me fine.
