Love everything about this vest!
I love this vest - it's just what I was searching for. It's lightweight, shapely, not bulky, perfect for hiking, casual dress, and layering with brightly colored long sleeve t-shirts. The material inside and out is of high quality and since it's not fleece, it seems that it'll last for many washings and many years. I ordered a medium in cool gray. It fits generously but after some thought I decided not to re-order it in a small as it does have the adjustable lower casing that you can cinch in if you want. The price is appropriate for the quality of this vest. At some point I will likely order another one in a different color, but the cool grey is great for now as it will coordinate well with most everything.

Good fit, ease of use! Several color choices :)
I wrote another review with 5 stars also. I forgot to mention, though, that I think they got the color they sent to me incorrect, as I ordered the light colored grew and got a darker grey. Otherwise, I really like this vest so far. I ordered it as a back up because the more costly other brand ordered was taking too long. It also has more pockets, etc., but needs some tweaks. It arrived at the last minute, so I ended up using it and plan to give the manufacturer some suggestions for improvements. This one could use some inside zips, but I'll add some velcro dots, I guess. I think I like this one better, to be honest. I also like the invisible adjustable elastic at the bottom too. To do it again, I would order this one only, but again, wish I'd gotten the lighter grey I wanted. Save money and buy this one. It's good quality.

Great for travel!
Great vest for travel! Holds a lot, is well made and comfortable…perfect for air travel. Load those pockets and put the vest through security, then breeze onto the plane with loaded pockets! Doesn’t count as a personal item. Save so much money compared to purchasing a SCOTTe travel vest, too.I love so much about it but must leave off one star for two issues: (1) the collar is a bit uncomfortable, and even when I fold it down, it still rubs me in the neck (I wear a scarf to a rectify this), (2) the inside pockets are large/deep but have no closure (Iadded Velcro). All the other pockets have nice zippers. Also, the fabric is a nice weight in my opinion, but too warm for me in hot weather. Can’t have everything, right? It has to be substantial fabric to support the pockets. : )Just buy this vest. While it has many uses, I suspect you’ll be like me and never again fly w/o it. :)

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

Winner! All you frequent travelers need this!
Very impressed! This women’s feather light, black, sleeveless, nylon vest, will be my go-to, first thing I think to wear for plane travel. With so many pockets, and some pockets with added zippers for security, I feel both confident and organized as I travel with no need for an extra handbag or bag. The vest is true to size, (only one-ply in thickness), is slimming, and is well-made. Attractive, especially when worn with black nylon athleisure pants and a white, long-sleeved shirt. I'm carrying on my person, my Passport, Boarding Pass, Train Tickets, Kindle, iPhone, some jewelry, credit cards, money, and meds. It all fits, comfortably, doesn’t show, doesn’t bulge.
