Patagonia Women's Down With It Vest

Great Vest
April 25, 2012

This was the best gift I could have given my wife for Valentine's Day. She liked the vest so much, that I just had to get her all four colors. One of the best features of the vest is the removable hood. The build quality is great, it warm, and the colors go with an array of different attire. My wife is 5.4" and a medium was a perfect fit.

So overall, I'm really satisfied with this purchase: it fits really well and is quite flattering for a vest (although it runs a bit small, I got a L, 5'5", 140), and the price was about was reasonable for a Patagonia product. The removable hood is also a great feature. The color, however, was a bit of a surprise. I ordered the Headlands Plaid/Driftwood color and expected it to be more of a gray/green, it is more green than what the image looks like on the website. This is fine because it'll go with just about anything, but the website image should reflect the color a little more accurately.

Fits well, Good looking, Comfortable

Fitting very well (M size for 5'6", 123lb). Well done product, sewn very nice. Cloth quality is also good. The appearance looks a little thinner than my expectations as down vest, but it is functionally warm enough, and ease moving arms. So I agree with this design. Satisfied!

slim fit

Have to return the size medium -- the vest fits very close to the body; it is lovely over a t-shirt but it does not leave room for a bulkier underlayer. (I am 5'6"and 130#) I bought the raven plaid and it is gorgeous -- extremely subtle and versatile for a plaid. Has black, brown, navy, dark gray, dark wine -- looks great with everything, and because it is Patagonia you know it is good quality. Sadly, you were out of size large when I tried to reorder.

runs small- not too crazy abt the zipper

If youre size is 12 order XL. Large would be very small for you. I ended up returning mine. Zipper does not seem very durable on this vest one. Love the color though and the cut.

I love this vest. I mostly wear mediums in Patagonia but in jackets I take a small sometimes. The medium in this vest is a good fit. 5'2", 127lbs, 34C. The length is good too.

worth the wait

I love this vest, as I am 'mad for plaid'. I have wanted one since Patagonia released it and now I have one. I am petite but busty the medium fits great, looks great and feels great. Love that it has a hood, super bonus! Overall, great vest and I cannot wait to have another in another color!

Excellent comfort with great style appeal

I wore this vest every day this winter on the way to and from the gym over my gym hoodie. It provides just enough warmth to keep you cozy but not enough that you overheat. Of course I also wore this vest out and about on weekends and on slightly warmer days, as it's the perfect vest to transition between stores, cars, and the cold weather. The hood is cute and fuzzy on the inside, which was especially great when it was snowing- the top of the hood juts out far enough to keep your head and face protected from the elements. The fit is true to size and flattering. Lots of compliments, a great find!

I have been very happy with this vest and I get compliments all of the time! The length is great. IT comes down far enough to keep me really warm. I am 5'4" and about 135 lbs. I went with a med over the small so I can wear a sweatshirt under it on colder days. Love it!

The size small vest fits perfectly (I'm 5'4 and weigh 114) and am short wasted. It's totally warm and snugly. The subtle plaid gives a little color but generally the vest could be worn with any neutral pants. Snaps would make it a little more flexible.

Warm and not bulky

Great length falls just below hips. Hard to find fitted vests with hood and this one works. Nice and warm and good if you are in and out a lot (walking back and forth to class) - not having to hang and store bulky coat.
