We decided that the Cocoa jacket looked so good, we had to add a vest. Insulated with 650-fill goose down, layer it up over any of our fleeces and you've got a great fall/winter friend. We've also tossed in an insulated hood to protect your head.

Vest is great...very warm and stylish at the same time. Colors are nice and bright without being too bold. Nice alternative to basic browns, black and greens. Side pockets are in a perfect location and additional pockets in the front are nice.

I bought this for horseback riding. It seems a bit snug for a large, one couldn't layer much under it. It is very warm, however. And more durable than an EMS down jacket I reviewed. [...]

This is a great jacket, everything that I was looking for. It has a hood, inner pocket, its really cute and stylish and very durable. The only reason why I would not recommend it is because I don't want everyone to be wearing the same jacket as me. I LOVE this jacket!!

I loved this product! I purchased it just for everyday use. As a student, carrying around a bulky jacket all day can be an effort; the vest is a nice alternative. It fits well, it's very soft and surprisingly warm. I felt like I was wearing an enormous down jacket! The only fault I have found was it tore easily in the armpit when I tugged too hard. However, a few quick stitches and it's fine. I would recommend it to anyone looking for casual wear - it goes great with most outfits while keeping you warm.

I love my new vest. My job requires me to spent ten days at a time camping in the backcountry and the weather conditions are always changing. This vest is great in the wind and easy to move in so I can wear while I work; putting it over my fleece jacket when it is really cold or just over a t-shirt to break the wind. The hood is key, I've been searching for a vest with a hood for a long time and this is the perfect find.

 
I've always wanted a vest

Cons:
The attached hood
Best Uses:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I wish the hood was detachable because I own a lot of lighter layers with hoods. So if I wear them both at the same time I have a double hood situation. I also was disappointed with the color because it wasnt the same as I saw on-line. But I made myself get over it. The velco on the side pockets I think is a minus because it is harder to get into and the rough velco stratches my wrist if my hands are in the pockets. Overall though, I am very happy with it!

Great vest for wearing around town. Not something I would take hiking or climbing though. Kind of bulky compared to other options. The fleece lining in the pockets is wicked nice! Great big warm hood too!

I saw it in the store and it didn't leave my head for a month, when I finally bought it I was so excited I screamed. I'm still that excited when I put it on every day-every day! It's so warm and cozy, but doesn't make me look like a marshmallow. The only thing I could wish for is more of a warm soft collar for the neck, maybe extend the knitted inside collar a little further around.

warm, love the collar and hood. Would have been better if it closed with a zipper as well. A little too loose in the waist to be a flattering fit but perfect for outdoor activities.

I think this is a great product. I enjoyed the elastic ribbed bottom, the extra pockets. It keeps me warm, yet stylish. The only disappointing aspect was it felt too short in the torso. Still a great product though.

Bottom Line:

This is my first time owning an outdoor recreational vest - and I don't know why I waited so long to get one. It is toasty warm, with lots of pockets, while allowing great mobility and range of motion especially for my nordic/cross-country adventures. At first I thought it might need a zipper close front, but discovered the snap closure works well, especially if layered with a wind/rain shell.
Well worth the investment!
