5 Anthony
Very much my go- to vest. I really enjoy it for just being home or for hiking. It feels a bit light in padding around the neck, but other than that, it's awesome. Sizing, I am 5'11 and 170, and the medium fits well.

5 coldinMN
[ I have several Fjallraven garments and like all of them, this vest does n't disappoint. In my opinion it is nicer looking than many other similar ones from competing brands. Provides great warmth when you need it. Maybe a bit pricey, but you pay for what you get- a stylish high quality piece.

5 Maxx M
[ I love the color, it ’s Warmth it is lightweight and it ’s ease of stuff ability. Would definitely recommend this to a friend or family member.

5 Moose
[ I took this on a trip to Canada and it performed quite well. I am 6' 6 '' and it fit well. I was really happy with the overall length. It is lightweight and packs down into the inside chest pocket.

4 Mort
Bought this as a last minute vacation item for London in the spring. It served me well. Very lightweight and packable. It was a great layering item to keep me warm. Not heavy, perfect for under a coat or on it's own.

5 Babydoll
I was in search of a vest and own several from other well known brands but this by far is my favorite! It is lightweight and looks great layered! The quality is exceptional and everything I ’ ve owned from Fjallraven has yet to disappointment me! And the color Patina green is the cherry on top.

5 Pooh
[ This vest is a great addition to my wardrobe. It is the perfect weight to wear by itself over a sweater or not to bulky it can be under a jacket. The other feature I like is zipping it up to cover my neck. The color is beautiful for any season. I want to wear it almost every day!

Fits well, packs down small to stash when not needed. Use for winter hiking or extra layer on cold snowboard days. Holding up well after a couple years.

5 Robert B
Fit is perfect, construction and materials are outstanding.

5 Jeff N
I have a lot of OR clothing and it's always great quality and consistent fit.

5 Patrick M
Very light and warm. Perfect layer to pack when the day gets warm…it ’s slightly snug around the chest, I ’ m 510 and 200 lbs muscular build/large chest and shoulders. I find the xl to be slightly loose and the large to be slightly snug only around my chest

5 Eric A
I was skeptical of the modern, thin, down jackets and vests. I ’ ve loved my old style, bulky down vests, and had full faith in the warmth of down. The Outdoor Research Helium Down Vest has become a daily part of my kit working at a ski area. The cut is definitely very athletic or snug, which does make it amazing for layering over. I ’ m normally somewhere between a large and extra large, the XL fits much closer to a large than a XL. While not the most flattering for fashion wear, but it ’s perfect for how warming layers are meant to be worn. Generally I ’ ll wear this vest over my base layer and under my other mid layer. Thought the day I might remove my other mid layer and use just this vest and my shell. As with all of my Outdoor Research gear I ’ m very impressed and happy with my purchase.

The camouflage design is stylish, and the vest fits snugly without restricting movement. It ’s also quick- drying, which is a big plus.

Its honestly perfect for what I needed. Its very light, I think the color looks great with blacks and Navy's. The packing into its own pocket feature is handy so I always carry it with me and it does a significant difference in warmth

5 Britt L
Great vest, packs up small, warm mid layer great for our PNW weather üëç I used it backpacking for 3 nights. the fabric is not super durable so I got some snags.

5 Matthew H
Excellent light vest for keeping it flashy when you need that extra warmth but do n't want to sacrifice arm mobility. Added to my wardrobe for winter mixed climbing after a few years of feeling like Ralphie from Christmas Story, and sweet mother of god the difference in comfort is a game changer. I stay just as warm, but do n't feel like I have a wad of underwear in my armpits. Great stuff. Sizing runs a bit large- I 'm 6' 3 '' 215lbs and XL is a wee bit baggy on me. Great for layering over thicker base layers, but a bit loose if you 're headed into the office to turn heads. On a side note, I tend to be pretty conservative with color selection as a white hetero dude- all blues and grays. Tried to go out on a limb here, and the warm yellow tones on this jacket make me feel like a little ball of sunshine. Nice pallet, OR. Thanks for giving the bois an alternative to the norm.

5 Brent G
Super light weight and compresses easily to take up little room in your backpack. Surprisingly warm for the weight and thickness. It was my mid- layer for early mornings. I have zero negative comments to say. Would buy it again in a heart beat.

5 Bruce G
Light and warm and stuffable. I 'm 5'10 185lbs 40- 41in chest and it fits great as a mid layer or over a light long sleeve fleece.

5 Pantsmane
I picked it up at a fair price and probably would n't have bought it otherwise. I 'm glad I took advantage of the sale. It's a nice simple vest with a good fill count. I 'm not really a vest wearing kind of guy, but my son says this one looks great on me. The color gives Marty McFly vibes, but I like that. It contrasts nicely with dark greens, whites and blacks.

5 Coyote
I received my men's small Ghost Whispered 2 vest today. Weight is 5. 1oz. It's the same fine quality of my Ghost Whisperer 2 sweater that weighs 8. 0 oz. They are roomy enough for layers under and the most packable layers that I own. Kudos to MH for a home run.

5 Julio
[ I bought my vest to be used as a second layer for skiing and climbing. However, very shortly, I found out that it is also great for cycling when is chilly and could also wear it with a dress shirt and it looks classic( black)

Frequently Asked Questions For Adventure Vests

When selecting an adventure vest, consider features such as multiple pockets for storage, adjustable straps for a secure fit, and breathable materials for comfort during various activities. Look for vests that offer water resistance or quick-drying fabrics if you plan to be in wet conditions. Additionally, reflective elements can enhance visibility during low-light situations.

Adventure vests are typically made from durable and lightweight materials such as nylon, polyester, or neoprene. These fabrics are chosen for their ability to withstand outdoor conditions, provide flexibility, and offer protection against the elements. Some vests may also incorporate insulation or moisture-wicking properties for added comfort.

Adventure vests are versatile and can be used for a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, kayaking, camping, and fishing. They provide essential storage for gear and supplies while allowing for freedom of movement. Depending on the design, some vests may be more suited for specific activities, such as water sports or cold-weather excursions.

Choosing the right size for an adventure vest involves measuring your chest and comparing it to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. It's important to consider the fit you prefer; some may prefer a snug fit for layering, while others may opt for a looser style for comfort. Trying on the vest with the clothing you plan to wear underneath can also help ensure a proper fit.

Adventure vests can be suitable for all seasons, depending on their design and materials. Lightweight vests are ideal for warm weather, providing ventilation and ease of movement, while insulated or hooded options can offer warmth during colder months. Layering with other clothing can enhance versatility, making them a practical choice year-round.

When assessing the durability of an adventure vest, look for high-quality stitching, reinforced seams, and abrasion-resistant materials. Vests designed for rugged outdoor use often feature additional reinforcements in high-wear areas. It's also beneficial to consider the manufacturer's reputation and any warranties offered, as these can be indicators of long-term durability.
