Great Quality But Runs Very Small

Very nice vest but extremely small. I had read this in the reviews and should have sized up 2x instead of 1. Unfortunately I had to return it. The return itself is taking quite awhile. Still waiting on my refund.

Great Winter Vest

Great winter running vest. Runs on small side. I’m 5’5 with a short torso and the medium was just long enough.

Great All Around Vest

I used this for a 20k cross country ski race and it was perfect to keep me warm and dry. I also use it for my winter running. It’s so light weight and comfortable and looks good

Great Fit With Multiple Pockets

Love the multiple pockets and warmth. Fits well. Warmth for neck.

Love the vest, keeps me VERY warm even in sub 20F temperatures.

Good But Expensive Vest - Not Great For Large Breasts

Overall, I like the vest a lot, but it's probably not worth the price. I was gifted it, and I'll love it for cold runs. But if it weren't an amazing bright pink, and if I had to spend my own (middle-class educator) money on it, I think I'd skip this one. Pros: - Lightweight - Very warm (paired this with a poly pullover and a wool blend shirt for a run where the windchill was 5 degrees F and it kept my torso nice and cozy) - good wind protection - Soft fabric that doesn't make a lot of noise - Amazing pink color - Four usable pockets (two zip, two side--which my gloves stay nicely in) - Even when sizing up, it's a good length for those on the shorter side of average height (I'm 5'4" and it's a great length on me) Cons: - Small fit - Weird cut around the shoulders and bust that is really not accommodating to larger chests. The arm holes end up kind of pulling away from the body and letting more cold air into the gaps. - Very expensive - Purple accents on the pink vest look a little Barbie / childish to me - Might be a little short on taller people, especially if you have bigger boobs - As another reviewer said: the zipper is on the "wrong" side, making it a little awkward to use

It looks like a great vest. Love the fabric and the pockets, but I will be returning it for a larger size. Runs very small. There were no reviews when I first purchased this vest. I normally where a Medium, I'm 5'4 155lbs, need the large for sure.

Okay

This vest is nice. It’s perfect for a warmer layer when it’s snowing and/or very cold without being too warm or bulky. I really love the side pockets for storage! I normally wear a small, and the small in this was okay. The sizing was a little weird for me though; it’s very fitted in the chest and neck and bigger around the waist, which is super odd because I’m very small-chested. My biggest gripe with this vest though is that the stitching that adheres the piping to the elastic side pocket came unstitched after only 3 wears. I sewed the piping back onto the pocket, but was a little irritated that I had to do that on a brand new vest. If the sizing was a tad different and the stitching was more durable this would be 5 stars.

Perfect weight for running in cool temps. Love the pockets

Best Vest For Winter

This vest is the best! It fits close to the body and allows for layering. You can barely feel it on the run even when filling all the pockets. I hope they bring this back in many more colors.

Looks great and love the material-Light weight. It does Runs a bit small!

JessA

Runs super small. I'm 5'3" 122lbs and needed a medium. Small was too snug and wouldnt have been able to fit much else underneath for cold weather purposes. Other than the sizing great length for someone with a short torso and great for those long runs in the cold.

The Goldilocks Of Layering Pieces

Now that the temps on my morning runs are in the 20s and 30s, this is my go to layer over a thermal shirt. Can't say enough good things about this vest. It's the goldilocks of layers - just right. Not too warm, not too cool. I wish there was a jacket version of this vest as well. I'm 5'6" and weigh 140 lbs. The medium fits me perfectly.

Great Addition To My Fall Run Wardrobe

This will be a great addition to my fall and early winter run wardrobe. I love the pink color and the slim fit. Having both the buttons and the zipper is a nice feature

Cute Vest

Just recieved. Have to send back. WAY TOO SMALL! Will re order in Large! Am 5ft 2in, 108 #. Normally wear a S or XS. Figured Id go for Small and get a skoosh more room. NOT/ Will order a LARGE to get it. Know a Medium wont work. Still like the vest enough. Don't like that the sizing has changed.
