Outdoor Ventures Women's Hooded Lightweight Softshell Vest, Windproof Fleece Lined Sleeveless Jacket for Golf Running Travel

I love this vest. My hubby ordered a vest from this brand and I loved the material and how it fit on him. So, I searched this brand’s store and found a women’s vest. I ordered in the spot!! I am 5’6” and 169 lbs so I ordered a large and it fits perfect. It is slightly snug but I prefer it that way as I feel warmer with it close to the body. I really like the big inside pockets and the removable hood. Taking this to Italy with me a couple of weeks.

I like wearing vests when the weather is kind of in between or I’m just running in and out of a store. This one is different. Not only are there lots of pockets, the inside ones are very large and can hold my wallet or phone without fear of falling out. The outside material is great for blocking cold wind and would be good when it’s damp. I did take the hood off, for now, because it’s only just getting cold enough to use it. I’ve been wearing this vest a lot. It’s my new favorite!

This vest is good design/quality for its price point. The biggest selling point is the large interior pockets which are super-handy to carry everything I need to run errands or go for a walk. Often the zippers for inexpensive outerwear don’t work too well, but the zippers for this vest are non-issue, at least so far, after a month or so. I like the vest so much I ordered more in different color/style.One disappointment/area of improvement: On one occasion, a supposedly brand new vest arrived with pet hair inside and out! I just cringed. Another time, the vest was a “return” from a "past life" as it was inside a plastic bag that was clearly NOT the original packaging, and worse, whoever re-packaged the vest didn’t even bother to zip up and fold the vest, and the vest was like a “ball” upon arrival. Both vests were clearly “returned” by customers, and that’s ok, BUT it’s the vendor's responsibility to, at least, put some care and attention to make it more presentable, before shipping to another customer. That’s not too much to ask….

Well made, fits great, very happy with it

The vest may fit an hour glass figure, but it was too tight in the waist and hips for my figure. And that's where the adjustment cords are to make it tighter! I normally buy a large. I am 5'6" , 150 lbs. The vest fit my broad shoulders, but too small otherwise. An XL may have fit.

Nice vest and will made! Runs a little small so size up.

I love this vest- I have 2. They are comfortable and warm

I'm pear shaped - size 8 on top, 12 on bottom. I purchased this vest in a size XL to accommodate my hips/rear & it fit there, but then it was way too large in the chest/ armpit. This is a common fit issue for me, and it is not the vest's fault. If this had fit, I would have kept it in a heartbeat. It's a very high quality, functional vest that I would have used for cold weather dog walks, which this would have been perfect for. There is no stretch, so you have to size according to your biggest body part.
