from Louisville, KY on 7/13/2008
Very comfortable and easy to wear when running in the cold.
from Windsor Locks, CT on 6/18/2008
Nice fit. I like that it is just a tad longer than most other vests. Perfect weight to wear around the house on a cool morning or under another layer for outside activities.
from Okinawa, Japan on 6/16/2008
I use this to keep me warm on chilly sub-tropcial nights.
from New York, NY & ADK, NY on 4/1/2008
I live in this vest. Had the previous model for 8 years and it finally started to wear. I bought this one so I could wear it dressed up again and dressed down. It's got great style and tremendous functionality. Perfect under a wind breaker for an early morning mountain bike/run or walk with the dog. It comes out of the wash looking great! Equally as perfect with a skirt and blouse while traveling for business or just at the office. It fits nicely under a blazer and is very flattering. Wearing it out for dinner and drinks tonight, and last Sunday, and last Friday night and to the Basketball games on Thursday.
from Rodman, NY on 3/21/2008
This is a great vest for working out or just for going out in. I love vests, and this fits into my collection nicely!
from Ontario, Canada on 2/28/2008
I like this vest. It keeps the core warm and it feels great to touch. I'm a short person however and it tapers to the wrong torso length for me. It really constricts around my hips. If your tall...Go for it, you won't find a better vest.
from Westfield, MA on 2/26/2008
love my vest. great for running errands and walking.
from Rockaway, NJ on 2/25/2008
These products, all the Super MicroFleece, run much smaller than the Tech Wick products. Be sure to order a size larger than you would when ordering Tech Wick. I was quite surprised as my intent was to use this vest and other shirts over Tech Wick for extreme conditions and all were too tight even with nothing but underwear underneath.
from NJ on 2/25/2008
I absolutely love this vest. Very flattering fit, and has a longer torso than normal, which is great since I'm tall. It's also very warm, I've worn it over 2 thin thermal layers in winter hikes and been perfectly warm without a jacket or shell. The double thickness at the neck is great for keeping warm as well.
from york pa on 2/20/2008
This vest is great it is long in the torso which is great, and its so soft!!

from Pennsylvania on 2/10/2008
Great for layering. I like to wear it over a turtleneck & under a jacket for horseback riding. It does not restrict my movement because it is fitted & doesn't have a lot of extra bulk. As expected w/ EMS - it is good quality materials and construction.
I noticed some complaints about the sizing - I for one am glad that there is at least one manufacturer out there who makes a size XS that actually IS extra small. It fits me perfectly. If you want something to wear over a bulky sweater or sweatshirt you would want to order a size up (i.e. compare your measurements w/ the extra layers on to the size chart).
from Corning, NY on 2/10/2008
Great to wear all the time. It's added layer of warmth around the house and perfect to wear when running errands on a cool day.
from attleboro, ma on 1/25/2008
I really love it, but it definitely runs small size wise...:)
from green bay wi on 1/23/2008
fits great and is stylish
from Southampton, MA on 1/15/2008
Its stylish and warm and I wear it all the time
from Concord NH on 1/14/2008
I really love this vest.I own 3 of them and plan on getting more colors.I like to wear the LULU waffle short underneath the vest.This is my favorite outfit.It is warm and cozy.
from Rochester, NY on 1/5/2008
I wear this around the house (which we keep cool). It fits great over a light sweater, waffle weave shirt or turtleneck. If you want to wear it over something bulkier or multiple layers, order a size up. I like this vest because it has a shape and isn't as bulky as other vests I have. I feel like a girl when I wear it.
from Cape Cod and the Berkshires, MA on 1/2/2008
I really like the comfort of this vest - and the great coverage down the back without riding up. Great for wearing by itself when out running errands when a jacket is too bulky. Really good for layering for outdoor sports where you'll get warm. The fit is great - very flattering.
from Stamford, CT on 1/2/2008
This vest seems to have been designed for women with long and lean pencil torsos. Not quite the comfortable fit.

from West Chester, PA on 1/2/2008
I love this vest! I currently have it in black & green and receive many compliments while wearing it out and about.
from New Haven, CT on 1/2/2008
This was bought for my girlfriend who is very thin and tall. She owned a similar EMS one for five years and wore every other day during the winter months. The length is a little longer than other fleece vests that she has tried and is perfect for a girl who is 5.10 and 135lbs. Highly recommended.
from New York, NY on 11/18/2007
The vest is longer than I expected, but I guess I'd rather have it too long than too short. It is also more snug than I would have wanted for layering. It works well for running, as my other layers aren't bulky but it limits what I can use the vest for, as I cannot layer it over sweaters or other casual clothes.
I recommend the vest, but would encourage people to consider ordering one size larger than you'd usually wear. You'll get more milage out of it that way.

For my daughter for outdoors
from Maine on 7/11/2007
I bought one for me and my boyfriend to add to our baselayers when biking and hiking in the fall and as an insulating layer skiing this winter. So far I'm happy, but I'm hoping it wears well - [...]
from Winchester, MA on 6/18/2007
I love this vest very much. I bought 5 for myself.

from Asbury, NJ on 5/22/2007
I brought this on a recent trip to the Sierras. It was left at hot springs, and I spent that evening shivering. As soon as I got home, I went online and bought it again. It is warm, lightweight, moderately wind-proof, wicks surprisingly well for fleece and is well fitted. I am normally a small (size 4) and I bought an xs.
from San Antonio on 5/8/2007
I'm about to go on a 10 boundary waters trek and this little vest is a welcome addition!
from Alameda, CA on 5/7/2007
I wish this came in more colors, I bought every color. It is great because it keeps me warm when I run early in the morning and when it gets hot I don't get sweaty. Love love love this vest. Please make more colors.
from Northern Michigan on 4/2/2007
My friend was visiting when the package arrived and I tried on the vest. She ended up gettting one, too!
Provides lots of warmth for the light weight of the fabric and has a nice feminine fit with the princess seams. I'll never wear my sons' hand me downs again!
from Alameda, California on 4/2/2007
This is great to wear when you do early morning runs. Wear this under a light sweat jacket and then you can tie your sweat jacket around your waist while the vest keeps you warm even though it is sleeveless.
from Marlborough, MA on 3/29/2007
I like how this vest is a women's cut. It is comfortable and not bulky.
from Tulsa OK on 2/25/2007
Comfortable and stylish.
from Bedford Massachusetts on 2/14/2007
I liked everything about this product, but for a size large it fits snugly. I usually wear size medium shirts. The fabric and appearance otherwise is great! I got this on sale. Would not have purchased this at original price.
from Flagstaff, AZ on 2/12/2007
I bought this vest on sale and it was a good buy. I would not recommend it as a technical vest.
from PA on 2/5/2007
Nice light vest. Fleece is very good quality.
from Southern Massachusetts on 2/2/2007
Great fit. Good weight under a coat for added warmth. Like longer tail.
from washington, dc on 1/29/2007
great vest at a great price
from Londonderry, NH on 1/24/2007
I own several fleece vests from EMS which I have purchased over several years. I was disappointed in the way the vest hangs when unzipped. It curls back and doesn't lie flat. I never had the problem before. Please fix for next year and have someone try these new designs out before you market them. I expect quality from EMS. Also, it's a little too tight around the hips and I'm a fairly small person in the hip area.
from Cherry Hill, NJ on 1/18/2007
My wife loves it. Likes the contours.
from Denver, CO on 1/18/2007
I have an old EMS vest that was I was looking to relace and this vest did the job. It looks great, feels great, is warm and stylish.
from Massachusetts on 1/16/2007
I bought an extra large (this product was for my mom) and it was actually a little tight on her which is unusual but it is easy to fit it over a few layers and under a few more, making it a great buy for walking in the MA winter!
from Massachusetts on 1/16/2007
Great fitting fleece vest... I had looked a long time for one that would fit me in a flattering way without being too tight. All the others I tried hung too far out or long, or poorly positioned pockets making you look wider than you are. This was just right; and warm too!
from NH on 1/11/2007
This vest is fitted to the shape of a woman. It is the right weight to wear under a jacket for extra warmth.
from South Central PA on 1/3/2007
Good length for warmth while running; prefer shorter for casual wear, but it'll work for either.
from South Windsor, CT on 1/3/2007
Great product. Bought it for my wife. She says it's a little too tight in the chest, but everything else is great. Why don't you make one for flatter women and one for women with larger breasts.
from Reading PA on 1/3/2007
I bought this for both my mother and me. We are both very small. Clearly XS. Yet the neck of the vest is so tight that I cannot zip it up at the neck and she (she's older) asked me to exchange for a S for that reason. The S would be way too big for a tidy fit for either of us so I decided to live w/ the neck even tho I don't like it. AND I'm only keeping one of them, not two b/c of that tightness.
from Fort Worth, TX on 1/2/2007
There are two things that make this product not just fine, but exactly right: the funnel neck (so you don't have to think about wearing a scarf) and the length in back (so it doesn't ride up and expose part of the back to the cold).
from New York, NY on 12/30/2006
I have two and wear them constantly. It does seem a little tight in the chest (ironic, since I don't really have what one would call, "a chest"), but they look great nonetheless. I wear them virtually every day, in the office over dress shirts as well as just casual. The only thing more I'd change is the color range. I have the black and white.. and could use a brown.
I love it.
from Denver CO on 11/12/2006
This was exactly what I was hoping it would be. I needed something for running/hiking/x-ctry skiing that would allow me freedom for movement. The neck zips to just below the chin to give extra protection when the wind blows. The pockets on the side are zippered, and almost hidden, but enough room to put what I need in there. It helps protect from wind, and is very warm. It's one of my most usable pieces.
from salem, mass on 11/12/2006
A great layering garment. I also like the zippered pockets on the outside and deep pockets inside the vest. Great for security. Allows me to put keys, money etc. without having to bring a bag for walking.
from kalamazoo mi on 11/8/2006
very happy with it
from Nashua, NH on 10/4/2006
My first super-micro vest I bought probably 4-5 years ago and I still have and love. The newer vests are a lot more fitted and a little shorter than in years past. On the plus size- the fleece seems to now be more tightly woven--making it more wind-proof. I love to use it mountain biking in cold weather.
