This vest is perfect for the chilly days ahead. The large is definitely roomy. Maybe could have gone to a medium but like having the extra room for layering.

I've been looking for a non-bulky vest that I can use over t-shirts and sweaters for the cooler fall and spring weathers here in SoCal, and I'm glad I stumbled on this one by Columbia. I followed the advice of the reviewers here and ordered one size smaller...the fit was perfect! It shank some after the first wash, but not enough to make it un-usable for layering. I love this vest, so I ordered two more in different colors.

Nice vest. Very soft. But it runs large and is on the boxy side. I ended up returning it. Backcountry.com is awesome to do business with!

I bought the vest for my mother, and she is happy because is very comfortable and warm. I think that it have a good price and the service is fast and nice.

I originally got this one to take on a hiking trail as put it on as it gets cooler. I am not so happy with the finish and look of this jacket so this one will be used around the house or quick runs to grocery stores.

Really like the fit and the feel.

but FAR too big. I ordered a large because I wanted to be able to wear a sweatshirt under it and it is just huge. I kept it and I should have sent it back. It's very soft, lots of pocket space, and warm.

I own several columbia fleece vests and jackets. I buy them any time I find them on sale. Backcountry has very good prices on these items. I wear them like I would wear a sweater and am always comfortable.

It's warm. It's purple. Has pockets with zippers. Stuff doesn't fall out. Didn't cost too much. What's not to like?

And it makes me feel "dressed up"!

My wife likes this vest and she's not easy to please. The price was great too.

I've owned several Columbia fleece vests and coats and this one is my favorite! Soft, comfortable...I live in it!

It's a great, soft and warm vest. I like it very much. Feels nice and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

I ordered the off white vest for my mom for Christmas. She loved it! The fit was perfect and it was so soft and warm. It was perfect!

Great fit, cozy, and warm - pockets zip, you don't lose things... love it!

Sapphire Sky vest was a Christmas gift for my mother. She had admired one of mine. She was tickled to have one of her own.

This vest is very nice because it has a simple, clean line. It is very flattering, but I would agree that you should go a size down. I am usually between a Medium and a large, and the medium fit baggy.
