Bought as a gift and my husband loves it. Says it keeps him very warm and nice snug fit.

Gave as a gift but was told it is very warm, especially for a vest.
Definite fan of Patagonia.

great fit !! great quality !! love it !!

Bought for a gift. Husband is same size as model (40" chest, 31" waist). Fit small

Super Warm and looks great with just about anything.

My first Patagonia purchase. Had high expectations which were not disappointed. Large fits great (6’ 195# 44/34). It’s been doing a good job of keeping me warm on brisk days. Not too bulky, can layer if need to. Water repellent in a couple of light rains. Warm in a couple of 30* snows.

These things are pretty simple, and that's why they're so great. Three pockets, true-to-size fit, and well built as you'd expect from Patagonia. These are VERY warm. When it gets cold, you'll be glad you've got one.

Thanks for the Patagonia down vest would be fit compatible with the Patagonia men's down sweater. Wrong! The cut and fit was completely different. Wella medium fit me well in the men's down sweater the medium vest was way too small. Suggestion to Patagonia: align fit across products and from season to season.

Short and comfy....Tailored for a woman. Decided to keep for the future....

Was in between the medium and large but found the Patagonia to be one of the only vests that didn't make me feel like a marshmallow man. It is extremely comfortable, lightweight and warm.

I got for a gift and he loved it. Added some nice extra warmth for a cold hike and he said that he really liked the fit other than that it's a little long. But, overall, exactly what he was looking for.

Seemingly solid construction, nice zippers and pockets, and yellow color was great... exact shade I was looking for. Had heard that the warmth on these was outstanding.

And then I put it on.

Worst fit of all time. I am 6'0", 190 lbs, 32" waist and 40-42 in a sport coat (for sake of comparison). Put on the large and it looked as though the shoulders were made for an average-sized 6th grader and the torso/waist were designed for somebody that wears a 46" waist pantsize. Ridiculous. Looked horrible. Tried XL and it was horrible as well... shoulders still did not fit and waist could have been suitable for Santa Claus and his belly (like a bowl full of jelly).

For $170, this is extremely confusing. I expect a horrible fit like that for something that costs $20. Did somebody purchase the brand and tank the design? Or is the average Patagonia customer shaped like a pear?

Disappointed and in process of returning product.

I bought this for my boyfriend and he is excited to put it to use this winter! It is lightweight, warm, and comfortable. It seems easy to be layered with also.

If you are in the market for lightweight, warm and windproof Vest this is the best product you can get for this price range.
I've used this vest throughout the Colorado Rockies and during my business trips, and I would say this is one of the most comfortable & good looking pieces I've owned.
I would certainly give it 5 stars for great build quality!

The vest has done a wonderful job keeping me warm all winter. Looks very nice, good quality, and built to last. My only recommendation would be to get the lighter version of it, since it's much warmer than it looks.

To be so light, it is so warm.

This is my favorite vest by far for snowshoe racing, in negative degree winter weather in Maine!

Found this version on sale so bought the Ramble Red which complements my Patagonia French Red Down Sweater Jackets, Non-hooded and Hooded versions, making a complete set in red color. The Ramble Red is a bit darker than the French Red which is slighter brighter.
The vest fits true to size and fits nicely over a base layer shirt and a light/midweight fleece with enough room for a heavier base or mid layer. It's not thick as a regular down vest but warm enough, at least indoors and in temps from mid-30s F and above.
You'll need to wear it under a warmer jacket or shell for Cold, wintry weather.
The ripstop fabric is lightweight and relatively thin so it won't hold up well if you use it harshly.
There's no fleece inner liner in the hand pockets so you'll need to keep some gloves in those pockets as well as gloves.
It's Expensive, hence Patagucci, so buy when it's on sale :)

Great vest very warm everything as expected.

Little late getting this review out. I got this vest for my husband, and he loves it. He wears it about every day. It looks great. It's all he needs on more mild winter days. He got a medium and the fit was perfect. Also love that the down is gotten humanely.
