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!

Warmth Without The Bulk

Feather-light but packs serious warmth. I wear it under my snowboard instructor gear so I look pro while secretly just trying not to freeze, and it doubles as my go-to hiking layer. Basically, it’s my “don’t shiver, look legit” 280 lbs at 6'2" . XXL runs tight but comfortable

Go-to Vest

Great fit, quality, comfort. Habitually pack this for travel as an e-layers for cold flight, and for comfort in Fall. Great piece of kit. I am 5'8", 170 lbs and the medium is perfect.
