Overall very pleased with this vest& would definitely recommend it. Had it on under a windbreaker jacket& kept it on Medium setting for about 2. 5 hours at the soccer match. The temp outside was around 40 degrees& I stayed comfortable. The Large was a bit more snug fitting than I was expecting.

Perfect mid- layer fit. I 'm 195lbs/ 6'3 ''/ XL. It is a mid- layer fit though! goes great over most mid- layers( fleece, light insulation, or fitted sweater) with the limiting factor being the size of the arm holes. Also fits great under heavier outer layers and adds a significant amount of warmth. Love the double zip. Simple, functional, and stylish piece.

5 David
[ Been researching and buying a lot of vest getting ready for winter. This is the best mid/heavy weight vest I ’ ve found. Great colors and fit.

5 The Happy Woodsman
[ I like the look and feel of this vest. Like all of my Fjallraven clothes it fits well. I am 6' 1 '' and 200lbs and I bought the XL which fits perfectly with a flannel shirt or sweatshirt under it. I wish it had an inside pocket, but other than that I would buy this again. really nice to wear around hiking because its warm and light.

5 Sudsy
[ Very fine workmanship and finish. Has a great fit and feel; soft yet tough with a good puff without being too puffy or bulky. Very good zippers. Very comfortable! Wish there was one in a dark matte black, I would buy a second vest.

5 Kramer
[ Good vest, warm and fits well. As with all this brands products, it ’s top quality and has a lifetime guarantee. Works great as a liner for the Greenland no. 1 jacket.

5 Claire
[ I went for a run and decided to get croissants and literally fit the whole box in the back pocket. This vest is somehow the perfect combo of lightweight comfort and ample storage. It offers plenty of storage space, with well- placed pockets that make it easy to access essentials like gels, a phone, and keys. This vest also is essential for hot runs to prevent overheating! PLUS IT IS GORGEOUS! Overall, the Pinnacle Breeze rocks and I would highly recommend!

5 Payton
[ This is probably one of the most comfortable packs I have worn. I got a size XXS- XS and it fits perfectly with little to no bounce. I usually opt for the handheld bottles, but this vest has me considering this for longer runs as well. Love the design of the dual bottles on the front. Big fan of Nathan products!

5 Liss
This vest was just what I needed for my marathon. It held all of my gels and water spouts were perfect length.

5 Diana M.
Great quality product. I ’ m 166 cm tall and I weigh 56kg. I bought size XS, which fits me, but if you plan to wear it with more layers or your sweater is thicker or oversized you might definitely want to size up. Other than that the quality is amazing, the best is light and definitely a must have fo any season.

5 Lois K.
Warmth without the bulk. I use it as a top layer and a mid layer in really cold weather. The pockets are perfectly placed. I feel it is a perfect addition to my capsule wardrobe. 👍🏻

5 Makena S.
I never owned a vest before but when I tried this on I had to get it! The fit is one size too big but the XS fit me perfectly. I ’ m 5 ’ 7 ” and the cut and design is truly flattering. The goose down fill is incredibly warm and I usually wear it with a base layer and wind proof shell.

5 Mike
[ The Nike Metro Vest impressed me right away. The fit is true to size, which made the overall experience even better, no guessing, no adjusting, just a clean and accurate fit. It sits comfortably on the body without feeling tight or oversized, making it easy to layer over a hoodie or long sleeve. In terms of comfort, this vest is honestly one of the better ones I ’ ve tried. It ’s lightweight yet warm, and the material feels smooth and durable. You can tell Nike put thought into the design because it moves with you instead of restricting you. Whether you ’ re walking around, running errands, or just throwing it on for casual style, it feels good all day. The look is simple, modern, and easy to pair with pretty much anything. It gives you that clean Nike aesthetic without trying too hard. Overall, the Metro Vest is a solid piece — comfortable, true to size, and confidence- boosting. I definitely recommend it.

5 Solemate
[ This vest is very cozy! It is pretty thick( yet lightweight) and will certainly keep me warm during the winter months. It's nice on days when I want some added warmth, but do n't want to wear a jacket or coat. A great transitional piece. So far, I have worn it a couple of ways- with a fitted long sleeve t- shirt( pictured) and with a thick hoodie. It worked very well both ways! It does fit on the looser side. For size reference, I 'm petite 5' x 1 '' and have this in size XS. For a more fitted look, I probably could have sized down. One feature I like about the vest is the bottom drawstring as I am able to cinch it for a more fitted look. The side zippered pockets allow me to secure my items without needing to worry about them slipping out. Overall, I highly recommend it!

5 BlackHillschill
[ What I love most about this vest is how it instantly elevates my everyday look. The style has a clean, modern vibe that makes even a simple outfit feel more put together. On colder mornings here in Rapid City, I wear it when I drive to work and it gives me just the right amount of warmth without feeling bulky. I work in a customer- facing role, so looking neat and professional is important to me. This vest helps me do that effortlessly. It layers really well over my work tops and gives me a polished look as soon as I walk in the door. The fit is flattering and comfortable, and it keeps me warm without overheating once I 'm inside. Overall, this vest has become one of my go- to pieces. It keeps me warm on the way to work, helps me look put together for customers, and fits perfectly into my everyday style.

5 Nessa07
[ If you ’ re looking for something lightweight but still warm, I really think you ’ d like the Nike Metro Vest. It ’s super easy to throw on over a hoodie or long sleeve, and it never feels bulky. The insulation is just enough for cooler days, and the fit is comfortable without getting in the way. For everyday use like commuting, running errands, heading to the gym. I ’ d definitely recommend it.

5 NeonShoeLover16
[ This is my first puffer vest. I usually wear a slimmer top layer, but this vest is warm! I got a Large, but could probably fit a Medium better. I knew I wanted to wear a layer( or two) underneath and sized up. This vest( and my added layers) would have fit fine as a medium. I 'm on the shorter side, around 5'3, and this was a great length. The pockets are well lined and warm. The zipper is smooth and the flap covering it does n't let the cold air through when snapped. My only dislike was cold air coming in the sleeves, but that is a vest- related risk, regardless. Great style and it will get a lot of wear.

This is a great looking vest. It has a perfect fit to wear over long sleeve shirts or even light weight hoodies. It has 2 zipped pockets, one on each side and It ’s not bulky like other vests. This can be worn casually or for running/walking since it does have a thin reflective stripe on the back

Very nice vest, excellent set of features. Fits well but not too tight or loose. Warm despite thin profile, and horizontal pattern look subtle when on. Can be worn with almost anything from casual to dressy.

5 Petey
The DSG running vest arrived right in time for the late fall/early winter temperature drop of Wisconsin. Perfect weight running vest for below freezing mornings. Does excellent job blocking cold winds and keeps my core warm. I have used this vest for many early cold mornings and have been extremely happy with the breathability. Vest has extremely large pockets for those who like to carry phones, nutrition packets, etc. Only thing I would change about this vest is adding some added reflective areas. The small strip in the back reflects very well, but some in the front would be good. I have overcome this issue by just using my clip on safety light and it stays mounted well on the pocket area. Definitely recommend this vest for cold weather runners.

5 Djgiltner
Perfect outdoor athletic vest. I like that it ’s longer and covers the waistband. Lightweight and doesn ’ t get in the way of golf, running or day to day activities yet still keeps chest back and core warm.

Well fitted vest with stretch fabric to allow for full range of motion. Reflective line on back for safety when running. Zippered pockets keep your valuables safe when active. Moisture wicking fabric keeps you comfortable during activity.

Great fit( 5 ’ 10 ”, 175 lbs, size L), cozy collar, comfortable zip under the chin and awesome fleece- lined zip pockets. Like the three zippered pockets. All in all, great fit, warmth, light weight, cozy warmth and features.

[ I was looking for a down vest and this had everything I wanted. The three pockets in the front work well. The design is very comfortable and is easy to pack. I wanted something I could layer with and this is perfect. I think it looks great too.

[ I have a down jacket from OR, nearly 10 years old now. It has held up well over the years. I expect the same of the Helix Down Vest. For purchase consideration, this runs slightly small. It may be snug if you order your usual size.

5 Lazzerz
[ Wicked rad vest. Keeps ya warm and stylish on those chilly days. Will totally keep you snazzy and fresh when zipping around town or strolling through nature. OR making those good good items!

[ Purchased a Large for me at 6 ’ 0 180#. Fits better than a medium in the armholes. High quality components and super warm. The black color works with everything. Excellent vest!

6'1 '' 175 lb and medium is most brands, but the small is perfectly tailored, if you prefer a baggier fit go medium. Great weight for spring/fall in the southeast US. Color, details, and quality are all excellent.

[ 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.

[ 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.

I have several Nano Puff jackets and decided to try the vests. I wear medium in the jackets, but found the small to be a better fit in the vest. It is still roomy enough for a light sweater under and it's is perfect to take the chill of of the fall mornings and evenings in both Colorado and Arizona.

This vest has a nice shape to it that makes it flattering in addition to being functional( a. k. a. oh- so- warm). The quilting pattern is a nice variation from the more basic ones you might find on most pieces like this. And with Patagonia, I know I 'm getting something I can trust to hold up for the long haul!

[ I bought this Nano Puff vest for my 14 year old daughter for Christmas. I loved the Black Friday discount offered too. My daughter loves this vest. She is 5 ft. 8 in. tall and usually wears a small in most tops. The small fits her great. She loves the gray color as it is great for layering with anything and would love this vest in every color! Haha!

It's a perfect combination of style, warmth, and softness.

5 Joe Banks
I bought this right after Christmas and I hesitated a bit because it was pricey, but I 'm really happy with the look, the fit and the quality. The double zipper at the bottom is a little wonky, but that's my only complaint. It's probably not quite worth the price, but it's close enough.

[ Looks great, feels nice to wear. It is a little thicker that you might think.

They are versatile and can be worn over long sleeves or under outerwear for extra insulation. Additionally, many light vests are designed to be breathable, allowing for comfort during physical activities.

Light vests are often made from synthetic materials such as polyester or nylon, which are lightweight and durable. Insulation options may include down or synthetic fills that provide warmth without adding significant weight. Some vests also feature water-resistant or windproof coatings to enhance their performance in varying weather conditions.

Light vests are perfect for layering during fall and spring when temperatures can fluctuate throughout the day. They are also great for outdoor activities like hiking, running, or cycling, where you may need extra warmth without overheating. Additionally, they can be worn in colder climates as a mid-layer under a heavier coat.

Light vests are designed to provide warmth primarily to the core while allowing for greater freedom of movement in the arms. Unlike heavier jackets, they typically lack sleeves and are less insulated, making them more suitable for active pursuits or milder weather. This design helps to balance warmth and mobility.
