You got to be kidding me!

By wdm2512634 Ranked #681 - Men's Vests March 17, 2009

You can't always tell what a product will look like online. You read all the product details and even go to the manufacturers’ site to read the marketing babble and try and make a decision.

When I received this vest and broke it out of the box the first thing I said was "you got to be kidding me" this isn't gonna be warm. This thing is thin and like they said in other reviews you can roll this thing up and pack it and not even notice it, so I was skeptical to say the least.

I put it on and wore it around the house for a about a minute and could feel the warmth starting to set in, and then I said "no shit" it works. I have only used it in the mid to low 50s so far and it does the job nicely. This thing is just right for taking the chill out of a morning hike without getting too warm once you get going. Impressive insulating abilities of the recycled fibers for this weight. Just right for layering, but seems to work best with the vest closest to the body and other fleece or sweaters on top. Warmth without sweat, that's a good thing...
