Ranked #10 - Women's Vests
February 2, 2009
First my stats so you can compare for your own needs: I'm 5'11", 130 lbs, and I wear a mid-B-size cup.
I always wear a small vest in all the various outdoor gear brands I've tried on (Patagonia, TNF, other Mountain Hardware items, etc.), because a medium gapes in the armholes and around the waist. This vest fit me everywhere but in the chest, where it smushed my boobs even when layered with only a thin shirt, which is too bad because the hourglass cut is nice, and the slightly puckered armholes were nicely fitted.
I also wasn't crazy about the wavy stitch pattern - it seemed just a bit "off kilter" in my opinion since I prefer more graphic, symmetrical lines. To each their own though.
Also, the brown fleece collar and shoulder lining was very nice and soft. If it had fit well, this would of been a great cold-weather layering piece. Alas, poor me!
