The Puffer Vest is really cute. I'm 55” and average size, it fits right at the knees. I usually wear a W L-XL in coats depending on the fit. After reading the reviews I ordered an M bc the advice was to size down. However, with only two light weight shirts on, the vest fit more snug. So I should have ordered my usual size or larger to have more run to wear sweats comfortably.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first got the vest, I thought to myself "this is way too big and bulky!" But the more I wore it around the house (and honestly that's the only place I wore it) the more I got to loving it! Sure it's big, but it's so freakin' comfy!! It comes with two zippers and a cord at the waist so you can cinch it up around yourself, plus undo one zipper so you can have more mobility if you so wanted. However if you're not into big and bulky vests, this isn't for you, it's fairly long as well so make sure to grab the right size.

Puffy, warm and very comfortable… however, for me, it was overly huge! I probably could have been able to go down 2 sizes and had enough room to wear a sweater or sweatshirt… I did end up purchasing a medium based on previous reviews, but now I might purchase the black vest in a small…

I bought this vest a few weeks ago and I’ve worn it multiple times a week (depending on how many dark washes I can run!) since it’s been delivered! I cannot rave enough about the length! I’m 5’3 and it hits about my mid calves which I love as it keeps me mostly dry and covers my butt! The arm holes are big which is a plus for those who like baggy sweatshirts underneath!!!!! The days of bunched up sleeves are gone with the big arm holes!! The vest is incredibly warm (sweaty warm!) and the waist cinching option is a added bonus! For those who say it runs big - it is a “loose long fitted puffer vest” - clearly written in the title and description!!!!!!!!! I would say this is a must buy! I love mine so much I splurged on a second! Would love for a hidden breast pocket to be added to these vests! *marked true to size because product is loose fitting to Nike’s loose fitting standards/sizing*

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit of this vest is more about its purpose. It’s a bulky material that will definitely keep you warm, and is great quality. However- it’s not a fashion piece! This is for true athletes who are looking to stay warm while being active. It was a bit bulky, especially around the neck. I like the suede material that will keep my neck warm. It’s a perfect length for winter. Even though it’s not as flattering, it is nice that the waist can be adjustable to make it a little more snug. For the design I would prefer all black instead of the checkered / grid look. The fabric is high quality & am confident will last. Overall I like that I know I will get a lot of uses out of this vest because of its durability, but wish it was more trendy / appealing from a design perspective.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon receiving the vest it is very obvious it runs big. I am typically an XL and it fits more like an XXL (maybe bigger). I will say it’s pretty stylish and comfortable though. As far as durability, I feel like the material is good quality; however, I barely pulled on one of the strings to tighten it and it completely ripped out. Not a good first impression. - With all of that being said if it is your style I would recommend for comfortably and warmth alone. Just make sure to size down.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Three major things stuck out to me about this vest. 1. It's thick! Very much a padded, warm, down vest. It's very soft and for the winter months would be perfect for a walk outside, tailgating, etc. I love a good vest when you don't need a huge coat, but just need a little more warmth. 2. It's long. It goes down to my knees, which is super nice for added warmth in the lower half. It also has a scrunch band around the waist. It doesn't make it super form fitting - it's still a very boxy shape, but it does add a little bit of interest. 3. The one downside of the vest is that the arm holes are huge and the collar is just as thick as the rest of the vest. The arm holes are bigger than you would need to wear a coat underneath. The collar is also almost too thick to be comfortable. A little less padding in the collar would be nice. Overall, a pretty good vest. I would like it better with smaller armholes, a little bit more shape, and less padding in the collar.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vest has me so excited for the the cold weather! At 5’2”, this synthetic fill puffy vest falls right above the knee for me in the front and is a little longer in the back. I love this feature for times when I will be sitting outside. I am a special education teacher and part of my job is walking and spending time outside in the community with my students daily, even in the cold Pennsylvania winters. It is a comfort to know that I now have this outerwear that is not only waterproof, will keep me warm due to Nike’s Therma-FIT technology. The fit is roomy enough that I can comfortably wear layers underneath while not needing a scarf as the collar zips up to my chin. Along with being warm, I love that there is a slight pattern on most of the vest, but it is subtle enough to keep it from being overwhelming. It is stylish, yet comfortable and practical for movement, which is always what I am looking for in clothing for both work and in my personal life. I would suggest sizing down, as it does seem to run big. There is a waist cinching cord, but even with it drawn tight, I still could have gone down a size for a better fit. This is an essential cold weather staple and will be a great investment piece for many future winters.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vest is of exceptional quality. I appreciate that the waist can be customized with a band in the waist and that it is lengthy. This style has a modern , oversized cut. The fabric is soft and durable . I can't wait until it gets cold outside so I can wear this vest. Without a doubt, I'll wear it over a fleece sweatshirt. And I'll alternate between wearing a scarf and simply zipping my vest all the way up to my neck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this Nike NSW ESSNTL ECDWN GS vest a couple of weeks ago. Although it's summer, this vest will keep my core warm during the fall and winter months. I love how it has a bit of fleece lining inside the collar to keep my neck warm. The zippers on the pocket are perfect for keeping my phone and small wallet safe when I'm active outside. It would be nice to have a pocket on the inside of the vest for another option for carrying a phone or wallet. The vest is so light, and I love how compact you can fold it in a suitcase for traveling. I will say it runs a bit long and big under the arms. I'm 5'3", but I have broad shoulders and carry most of my weight in the middle. I usually get large in most things for a more comfortable fit, but this still runs bigger than I thought it would. I find it amazing that this product is made with 75% recycled fibers. I'm all for reducing and reusing our waste. Overall, this is a great vest. The durability and quality of this vest will get me through the colder months for years to come. It's made to last; it's essential.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with the quality and thickness of this vest. It seems to be made very well and would be very warm for cold weather. The color and style of the vest is very neutral and nice. It has a double zipper for top and bottom and also can cinch around the waist if needed. The sizing of the product was big. I would suggest sizing down. I usually wear a small in my everyday tops and get a medium for my jackets and sweatshirts. I ordered a medium of this vest and it is very large on me. I’m currently 8 months pregnant and it’s still big on me. It does make room to add layers underneath if need be but I would order a small next time. It runs to just above my knees and is very puffy. Again, it would be nice for cold weather activities and is made very well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, the vest was a great fit. Definitely looks nice with some cute boots. Would wear during a nice cold day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vest had a lot of potential, but didn’t quite hit the mark. When it arrived, I noticed right away it was huge. I put it on and I can fit both of my arms inside the body of the vest with room to spare. It’s a good quality material, but the cinch cords are difficult to use and only work in one direction. I think the goal was to be a versatile vest for outdoor activities, but the length is cumbersome; it’s difficult to bend over while wearing it and it gets in the way of daily activities. Some major modifications to this vest would improve how well its worn.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the sleek look and feel of the material of the vest. The vest itself was very thick with durable material. However, the vest was way too big for me lengthwise! It was as if I was wearing a dress. If I am going to be outside in the cold, where I would need a vest this thick, I would not be comfortable enough in this to move. I was very disappointed because the design, look, and softness were to my liking. It would have been perfect if it wasn't so long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little skeptical of the look since oversized doesn’t always look great on my shape but I love it! Is super comfortable and the waist synch does give it some form even though it is an oversized look. I appreciate that they lined the pockets with nice, soft fabric. Why do designers put cold pockets in a warm coat? Who knows, but you don’t have to worry about that with this vest! Also, fits wonderfully long on my tall frame. Bonus points for the recycled materials. I definitely recommend!
