[ Bought this a few weeks ago and love that it ’s longer but still have cords to tighten up at the bottom. Also like that the collar can stand up if I wanted it to. Love the water resistant fabric on the shoulders. Wish they do the same on their Buck fleece long sleeves. Compared this to the Patagonia better sweater vest, my go to is now the buck fleece vest.

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 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

5 Justin L
Trying to get back to consistent running and going longer distances. I previously had another brand ’s vest that I only used collapsible water bottles in the front pockets and never used a bladder. Always had comfort issues with it though and overall felt like I could never it to fit comfortably. For this vest though, I have run three 10 mile+ runs and find this one very comfortable. I was easily able to adjust this to fit correctly. I find the bladder easy to use and has been good to use with Tailwind Nutrition as my fuel of choice. I like the available storage as well and enjoy having a space for my phone. There is also so much more storage that I could utilize and have barely scratched the surface of. I did carry sunglasses with me on a run and was nice to have them with me even though I didn ’ t ultimately use them. Definitely happy with this purchase and look forward to more long runs with it.

5 Sili
Love my new vest!!!! Excellent features

5 Matt
The pack has a lot of room and pockets for gels, phones, or even extra bottles and is very lightweight and dries quickly. I also like the bladder much better than traditional ones with the screw cap.

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.

It has a great fit and is even better aesthetically. It is a good compliment to any outfit, both casual and dressy. Although very thin, it is very warm.

5 CasperChicago
I saw a friend with this vest and I thought it would be a good fit and mid- layer for work, driving or hiking. I do not like sweaters because they are difficult to wash. I can wash this vest, throw it in the dryer and I am done. I use this as my mid- layer. I got this vest especially becaue it had no sleeves and it provides me with so much movement while driving in winter. I can wear only this vest as an outer layer for the Spring and Fall.

5 DKYYC
I never thought myself as a vest guy but bought this item on a recommendation. Well I think I wore it 7 straight days before taking it off. Love the extra layer while keeping my arms free. Its a great extra base layer... I seem to wear it around the house and every time I go out. Great versatile piece!

5 Ian gear
I ’ m so glad I finally bought this vest after seeing it on line and trying it on in shop. Perfect for every day use as winter is here. Warm addition to my wardrobe that fits perfectly and looks sharp with whatever I wear. Formal sports wear. Durable and comfortable and the right colour in my size.

I did n't get the color I wanted but it has grown on me. Fit is consistent with Patagonia and this vest is no different. Great way to add some warmth to the core while still having some breathability. Love the zippered pockets.

Other folks have already provided reviews about basic things so I would only say about burnished red color of this. Initially I was skeptical about the color brightness and shine from the misleading appearance on different screens but find it perfect once received it. Fitting is also perfect

5 Charlotte wearer

It was snug and comfy against my body as I walked/ ran/ did stairs, etc. My only question is, where can I buy heavier ETHOS plates? For example, say I want to increase the weight to 30 from 20? How would I do that. I ca n't find ETHOS plates anywhere.
