Had high hopes

By CDogg Ranked #30 - Men's Vests February 23, 2009

Power Stretch is an uberfabric and i'm a big fan. Needed a power stretch vest for a variety of uses and they're surprisingly hard to come by -- few manufacturers make them. Dunno why. Marmot's always been great quality, and this vest is no exception. But the one hangup i had with it i couldn't get over -- the length. I'm 5'10" 205lbs size 44 and went with the large. Loved the snug fit, the high collar and usable pocket. But the vest ran so far down it completely covered my backside. Can't roll it up (looks too silly), can't tuck it in (who the hell wants to tuck in a vest?), and because it's such a snug fit it looks odd hanging all the way down.

Really wanted this vest to work for me. Vests are for core warmth -- can't fathom why Marmot would make this product this way. If you're tall, it'd prolly work for you tho. Hate to return it but i have to.
