Great Warmth, Zero Wind Block

Holding up very well, no down leakage. Doesn't block wind at all (as expected) you'd be better off with a cotton hoodie if it's windy and you don't plan on layering over it at all. Not that warm when compressed (again as expected for a down of this fill). Recommend for an alpine day under a shell over a thermal where you're gonna have temp swings and activity level swings. chest pocket fits a +size cell phone.

Stylish And Warm!

Needed this to protect myself from some chilly windy conditions when I'm outside and it works perfect!

Looks & Feels Great, But Not Durable

When I received the vest, I loved the look, feel, & weight of it. However, it is incredibly fragile. It ripped around 1/2 inch the first day I wore it right on the belly. I work in an office, so it's not like I was belaying a partner down el capitan. The lack of durability along with OR's poor warranty & lack of repair service make this vest a poor selection.

Great vest, nice color. Feel great when I wear it. Good insulation while not being too thick/bulky.

Great Vest

I own quite a few vests from other brands and this one is up there in value!
