Excellent light vest for keeping it flashy when you need that extra warmth but don't want to sacrifice arm mobility. Added to my wardrobe for winter mixed climbing after a few years of feeling like Ralphie from Christmas Story, and sweet mother of god the difference in comfort is a game changer. I stay just as warm, but don't feel like I have a wad of underwear in my armpits. Great stuff.
Sizing runs a bit large - I'm 6'3" 215lbs and XL is a wee bit baggy on me. Great for layering over thicker base layers, but a bit loose if you're headed into the office to turn heads.
On a side note, I tend to be pretty conservative with color selection as a white hetero dude - all blues and grays. Tried to go out on a limb here, and the warm yellow tones on this jacket make me feel like a little ball of sunshine. Nice pallet, OR. Thanks for giving the bois an alternative to the norm.
