Great quality!

Great quality you expect from OR. Keeps the core toasty without over heating you.

Quality and service fail

Ordered based on the provided sizing guide but the garment we received did not match the given dimensions, and was actually sewn together crooked. I promptly returned it, with tags and original packaging, following all their requirements, and it took a phone call and well over 2 weeks for them to finally refund me (less shipping costs). We've owned several other OR products over the years and had been pleased. Looks like products and service are going down hill. Won't purchase anything from them again.

Vest is the best!

Fit is a bit thick, but it looks good and it's warm.

Worthwhile.

Husband wears it inside when it's chilly, & finds it very comfortable. Likes the longer back. Lightweight & comfortable. Very good value & price.

Best insulation layer

Used as an insulation layer and I honestly over heated and it was 20 degrees with 15mph winds. I was shed hunting in Wyoming. Can't wait to use this during the next winter months when it actually gets cold.

Great vest for xc skiing...

Great vest for xc skiing... I wear it underneath my Foray Gore-Tex Jacket Does the job of keeping me warn when the temperature drops below the -10c When ordering, add a size to what you usually order, because this Jacket is designed tight. There no space to spare

Just as listed.

Great for the spring days here in the woods in the Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Great for those times in between seasons

Does not overheat in warmer times like spring and keeps the heat when running with underlay and another layer is insufficient like minus 0C (32F) Keeps warmth in rainy situations as well. Pockets are nice and deep too so things don't fall out easily. I'm a medium and this medium was a bit tight. Great overall.

Fantastic product

The best down vest I have ever owned. As a result, also bought the down jacket for both my wife and I respectively. Highly recommended.

This vest is a great mix of retro style and function.

Fits great, (I'm 6'2", 190lbs) feels great, nice and light and warm. I've always been happy with my OR layers.
