Lightweight and Durable
This is a great vest for layering or everyday use. It is a windstopper so it provides plenty of core warmth. I wear mine at least 3 days a week and it really gets the job done even on cold mornings.

Lightweight Work Vest with Great Pockets
A great vest for working in the moderate cold. Warm enough when paired with a long sleeve shirt, and lightweight enough to wear in slightly cold temperatures too. The four pockets work well for holding a cell phone, pocketbook, wallet, light utility tools, work gloves, hat, etc.; things that used to carry mainly in pant pockets. Works just as well for everyday casual.

Great vest, even at this price
Though some might look at this as a pricey item, a second look reveals great details and materials, like the Windstopper microfleece. This is no ordinary fleece vest... warmer and windproof, it is a fantastic layering item, and good worn alone also. True to size, made with a form fitted cut that fits well under a jacket. I love this vest

So good I bought this for my wife
My wife has admired my Windstopper vest for over a year and so I bought one for her this fall. None of the female styles appealed to her so we purchased a men's vest. She wears it at home, in the office, and outside as a mid or outer layer. It's not cut for a women and so it bunches around her hips but otherwise it's perfect.

Good fit, good fabric and great versatility.
I have only ever bought Gore Windstopper fleeces; hence buying this vest. It is a great addition to on mountain gear. I snowboard and do some backcountry hiking and it is great for both. It is slim fitting, as per other reviews, go up a size. It is good under a shell or even a lined jacket for maintaining core warmth and is good over thermal wear if the outside temperature is not too cold. Pockets and the high collar make it very versatile and functional and I would highly recommend this vest as a great mid and even outer layer for anyone doing anything on-mountain.

Best on the Market!
This is by far the best vest to use for layering when skiing in the backcountry or on the frontside of the mountain. I lost this vest backpacking and immediately replaced it. I've worn North Face, LL Bean, etc. this is the most versatile vest you can buy! Do it now!

Overly pleased
I love these vests, I bought this vest for my dad after I've used my vest for about 2 years. They keep you core warm and are very durable. I run about 1,500 miles a year and wear my vest when it starts to get cool and even when it's snowing, with a long sleeve t-shirt. I would highly reccomend this vest to anyone that needs a versatile vest.

great Vest!!
It's increbdibly warm and versatile. I'm 5'7" and 150lbs and the medium fits perfectly. The fit is tailored so it won't bulk up when layering. The zippered pockets (inside and out) are very useful.

5 Stars John F Mills MD - 2008-03-09

Fantastic!
I live in Maui and who would think I would need this garment? Well I wear it ALOT! It's a well fitting windbreaker on those overcast days on the golf course with just enough fleece to keep your core warm. The up to the neck zipper option gives it EXTRA versatility in the warm department especially when you are hit by a sudden squall. And talk about versatility, I wear this vest on my annual Cycle to the Sun rides which take me from sea level to the !0,031 ft top of Mt Haleakala and I am totally comfortable the whole way up AND down!! And here's the best part....I like to buy this vest for all my good friends cuz I know they will LOVE it....NO DOUBT! Sincerely, Dr John Mills

A great layering vest for active wear.
I purchased this vest because I wanted a windbreaker style, not a heavier fleece style vest. My need was for something to wear as a "core warmer" over a single base layer for use during strenuous activity. The Mountain Hardwear vest is perfect for this purpose. Contrary to other reviews, I found the fit to be quite accurate. I had initially ordered an XL, and had to return it for a L, my regular size.

I've had this vest for a couple of years, I'm 6ft, 178lbs, with a 32" waist - the large fits well. It's an excellent core warmer, and windblocking is great. I just ordered the Tech Jacket to compliment it.

best out there
This is the best vest out there. Windproof and lightweight it's a perfect supplement to a capilene mw longsleeve on summer backcountry overnights when it get breezy on exposed terrain and will keep you warm at dusk/sunrise. It's trim fit is designed for the 33% of U.S.A. that's not overweight, and aids in efficient body heat retention and layering under a trim fitting superlight rain jacket.

5 Stars Durango Dave - 2006-07-20

Great product, although somewhat expensive.
I finally got to try this vest yesterday during a downpour in the San Juan mountains in Colorado. I wore it underneath my three layer North Face gortex parka. As I was decending from the mountains along a creek at 12,000' elevation, a huge thunderstorm developed. I was getting cold and my gortex gear was getting pretty soaked. After adding it underneath my parka I was comfortable for the rest of my hike. I especially like the zippered hand pockets and the extra inside pocket (four pockets total). This vest fits me perfectly and is true to size. Definitely a thumbs up.

Looks and feels great!
Love this vest; looks and feels great, I just ordered another one in a different color. It's just lite enough so you don't overheat inside the house or office when zipped down or use it out side zipped up as a core warmer - I find I don't need to take it off to stay comfortable, has approx the same weight & warmth as a 100-150gm polartec fleece but windproof - also makes a great inner layer & core wind barrier.

Well designed and constructed Windstopper vest
Windstopper is, based on my limited experience in breathable apparel, the best combination of permeability for moisture and sealing against wind (and some liquid). Since I live in the high desert I particularly like any well constructed layer that contains this material. This vest is well constructed and expertly designed.

State of the art windstopper vest; no negatives
Three pockets (and one inside) are nice. Liner and back panel seems elasticized and gives easily. Elastic lower border is not adjustable but adapts to body contour well.

Looks and feels great!
There is something about a vest that just makes sense, and the Mountain Hardware Windstopper Vest captures it all. First of all, it looks good, so if you're just standing around trying to look cool, you will still be warm on those chilly fall mornings, and when things heat up, you'll still be cool and dry. As an uderlayer, it's a perfect fit with any soft shell, especially the MH Alchemy Jacket, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts come winter. Size runs true, the collar covers the entire neck when utilized, and the fabric is very friendly. I really can't imagine what life would be like without this vest.

Great Stuff
I never wore vest much until this past year. I borrowed my brother's vest while skiing and loved the slim profile while keeping me warm. I'm looking forward to a great ski season with this. This also is probably the best looking fleece vest I have seen and is great around town as well. Fit seems pretty average compared to most brands. Mountain Hardwear makes some of the best quality stuff out there.

Great product.
The vest is very functional and meets all my requirements. I needed it for those days when it's was too warm for a t-shirt and a sweater or a jacket, yet too cold for a t-shirt alone. Pockets also came handy to keep few things. The windstopper fabric is very nice and warm without the bulk. Workmanship is top notch and the four pockets just what I needed.

Must Have Vest
This vest was a must have for me on my Appalachian Trail thru hike. The windstopper broke the bone chilling wind and kept me warm. The fleece doubled as a pillow at night. After six months of extreme use, it shows little wear and I still wear it. A major plus was that it did not retain odor like many synthetic materials do. I recommend this item to anyone who is looking for a quality product that will last a long time.

Stops the wind
I am 6'1", 180 lbs. The large fits just about right but there is little room to layer underneath. The vest is best used as an underlayer to keep my core warm. Lots of pockets. A good deal on sale. Good for cool nights/mornings in summer/spring/fall. Not so much for winter, unless used while doing heavy activity.

I got the vest as a gift. The large was a bit snug. I wasn't sure if I was going to keep it or not. I got a larger size and was nuch happier with it. We've had some milder weather where I live and have had the chance to really wear it. I like.

It's a very nice low-bulk vest. I'm medium build and it fits perfectly. I tend to run warm, so I use it as a mid layer to keep the core warm. Wish it was made in america. I bought my wife last year's women's version which was US made and seemed a little better quality overall. Not that the quality is bad, just maybe a little step backwards from the made in US.

Hands down, this is the most effective wind stopping vest on the market. My reason for giving four stars instead of five is because of the sizing issues. I wouldn’t even say they are issues the vest is just cut for very slim individuals. People, watch this brand as they are becoming leaders in active sports wear!!!! (And no I do not work for them!)

Great value
If you look at other vests, the MHW vest is a great value. You might want to know that the vest has a very trim, athletic cut. My only issue with it is the neck is a bit long.

Very nice but sizing problems
The sizing was difficult. On Mountain gear jackets a large fits me great, but on their vests, a large is too small and an extra large is too large.

Great Layer
Great vest for cool days. Maybe even a layer under a parka for skiing.
