Wow! Quality zip pockets, 4(!) of them, in a quality mid-weight vest, great length for 5'4 person
Sizing- Well, you need to consider 2 different sizes depending on your purposeIf you wear this as a travel vest, pockets crammed full of stuff, you need to size up a bit, so pockets won't bulge and the garment hangs well.But for daily wear, if wanting to look slimmer and trimmer, best to size down a bit, and to recognize you can't carry so much in the pockets in a vest that fits snugly.I'm 5'4 and 130, usually US size M in outerwear when (and only when) I wear them form-fitting, especially if over just one thin layer of clothing on warmer days. I bet a size M in this vest would fit me ideally on a day like that and look great. (I may need to order one and find out!)I'm size L for cool weather outerwear that's zipped shut in front over multiple layers, and when filling the pockets with stuff and the garment needs to hang right without bulging. This vest in size L is ideal for those purposes.Colors: I got 2 colors, the one that's practically white, and this medium gray (I think they call it "light gray.") Both colors seem just as in the photos.Pockets!!: The 4 zipper pockets are fabulous. The zippers are cleanly finished and the semi-stiff, semi-flexible fabric makes them seem to just disappear when not in use. Makes the vest look very sleek. Even when filled, the pockets somehow don't look as bulge-y as they would in a thin fabric.The single chest pocket will actually hold a phone or wallet. So many manufacturers only give you enough room for a chapstick or driver's license!The back pocket will hold a lot, however, it makes the contents bump against me awkwardly while moving, so personally I'll only use it for very lightweight items like headphones, or soft things like those hat/gloves you want to bring "just in case."The 2 hardwarmer pockets are roomy enough for phone, wallet, keys, even a somewhat oversize sunglasses case (the big but not huge size), while also still deep enough for your hands.Armholes: They are cut beautifully, at least for me -- they magically somehow do not gape, unlike so many big-name vests I have tried on, and yet I can wear them over a thick hoodie. I can't tell you how nice it is to find this feature in an item I took an internet gamble on.I suppose this means they might be too tight if you are a person who does prefer deep armholes, we're all different after all.Length: comes exactly to the top of my 29/30 pants inseam.Collar: The standup neck does kinda poke your chin as you move. I know this bothers some folks, it bothers me too, but can't be helped if you want wind protection for your neck, which I do. I've never seen a softshell garment that isn't this way. Pro tip, try a lightweight scarf.Fabric: Just a lovely fabric, ideal for spring or fall, though probably not for the heat of summer. The right trade-off between stiffness and drapey-ness so that it hangs down and stays in place, not flimsy, but not heavy either. Description claims that this fabric "breathes," but I just cannot imagine that's true.Definitely feels soft against your skin. Does rustle a bit as you move, good to be warned if that's a turn-off for you. The texture is minimally shiny, so that it will fit in with your normal casual wear without looking explicitly athletic. Actually quite classy, imho. I would say both these color versions have as matte a texture as a wind-proof fabric can possibly have.In conclusion, great product, I'd give these many, many more stars than just 5 if I could

Great travel vest
This is a great travel vest. Large inside pockets to hold things like phone charger and cords. Zip breast pocket for travel documents and cell phone. Made going through security a breeze. Just take off the vest will all your items and throw it into a bin. Lightweight enough I wore on the plane for easy access to my items. Well made and comfortable. Tailored cut, not boxy. Sizing is accurate and the vest has a little stretch. No need to upsize.Only possible negative is the length. It comes down to the hips. I bought a longer vest on purpose thinking that is what I wanted. After wearing this for 3 weeks on an European vacation; I would prefer a shorter vest that stops at the waist. The longer vest is bulky while sitting. You sit on the back of the vest and it pulls at your neck. If you have heavy items in the side pockets, it either pulls or creates a bulge, depending on where you 'sit' the pocket. A few hours into the 12 hour flight it started to bother me. Not enough to take it off though.

Finally decided the limitations outweighted all the good
I ordered a Medium in Black. I am about 5'5" and weigh about108, so I am sort of "lean" with a full chest. I was really excited due to the fact that a YTer is using this vest. It fit me very well, definitely tapered at the waist. The material is a heavier 100% polyester as opposed to being thin very light. It is very well made. However, one side of the stand up collar bothered me, the collar top on the side of the breast zip pocket. The zipper is covered by a "fold" of material and it made that side of the collar seem "lumpy" and it rubbed my neck/jawline area. I tried folding the collar down, but that side still stuck out awkwardly. The pockets didn't cut if for me. The two zippered "hand warmer" pockets are fine but I just didn't really like the slit pocket at my shoulder. It is pretty deep going toward the side of the vest, but if you have a larger phone, it's an awkward fit. I'm not sure it would be very useful because I put in a couple of smaller items but I didn't find it very well positioned and I wasn't using the full space in the pocket. The two large inner pockets are OK BUT, there is no velcro and no zippers. I was hoping I could put some important things in a vest which could then move through screening at an airport easily. However, those pockets didn't make me feel secure. There is not way to sew velcro on because there is no lining. I thought of "Liquid Stitch" to use to affix velcro but didn't want to get involved with this. There is a nice zippered pocked on the lower back of the vest, but since the vest is long, I found sitting with something in the back a bit much unless I only put small items in it, again not using the full space in the pocket. Also, my vest came with a logo on the lower back which I didn't love. This vest has reflective qualities which would be great if I were running or walking in the dark. I don't do this so this is not something I need. My need is more for travel at this point, so I will return this vest. I do have a lighter weight vest and have ordered a couple of more...they are men's...The one I have fits very well and I would keep it if the other two which are a different material don't work out. These all have more pockets as they are more utility vests but they are not over the top AND they all have zippered interior pockets, which is very important to me.In summary...this 33000ft vest is a well-crafted item that could be good for the right person!

Amazing Quality
This light weight vest is a great value for the unbeatable quality. I wear a lot of vests, and this one is stunning. The large is a perfect fit as I wear a size 12. It’s nice and long but not too long. It has reflective striping and ample, easy to reach pockets. It’s very flexible and comfortable unlike some quilted or down vests. It’s great for sports. I just ordered a rose one too. The orange is not my usual choice but I want it for Oregon State baseball games. I highly recommend it.

Great fit and quality
Loving this vest. Have worn it a few days for golf. Lots of zippered pockets and great fit. Good quality.

Windproof, stretchy, many pockets, perfect winter layer
I love this vest! The color is great, the many pockets with zippers are handy for holding keys/snacks for a day of cross country skiing, and it looks flattering. It's not wide and boxy like a lot of vests, nor is it too short. It has a nice shape. I love it! I normally wear a medium (size 6-8) but the medium in this was far too big so I returned and purchased a small, which fit great.

Love it!
It ordered it lastnight and it arrived this morning. I love it. It is well made, comfortable and has more than enough pockets. Unfortunately it fits a bit smaller than the measurement chart, so I have to return it and order the next size up.

Love it!
I work as a Project Manager and most of my pants don’t have pockets. This vest has lots of pockets. Lightweight and comfortable.

Pleasantly surprised!
Mine arrived today and I’m very pleased with it. The fit is just right and the construction seems sturdy. It’s machine washable, but tumble drying, ironing or dry cleaning are not recommended. The design is thoughtful. I don’t usually listen to music on the go, but the chest pocket, which is made for your phone, has a little opening inside at the top where you can pass your headphones, and a little loop at the neck band to keep them close to your ears. I particularly like the arrangement of the side pockets. The inside pocket, which is big enough to hold my Kindle, actually lies exterior to the zippered pocket that opens on the outside. So even with a Kindle in the inside pocket, I can sit comfortably with the jacket zipped up. I would use the back pocket for something soft that I wouldn’t need frequently, such as a packet of tissues or a spare pair of panties. I think this jacket will be perfect for my trip to Australia and New Zealand this fall.
