There are zillions of fleece vests out there, but this stands out for the quality construction and the overall savoir-faire of this company in making outerwear. It’s the details here that impress soon as you put this garment on. It’s easy to zip up, comfortable in fit, a collar that does not scratch and the fabric feels wonderfully soft, but with body (not a floppy rag). The zipper pulls on the pockets are large and easy to access. The main closure zipper is easy to clasp and pull. Those sound mundane, but try a poorer quality vest that has floppy fabric, no interfacing in the construction, which makes it difficult to zip up with cheap small zippers too lightweight for the fabric, too small zipper pulls, tiny pockets, and you will appreciate the details that make this vest worth your investment. Our search for the perfect lightweight fleece vest landed here. Look no further. This is it. (Note: this is lightweight, not medium or heavyweight for wintertime in Maine.). This review is for the color, Ancient Fossil. Read more

Heads will turn when you walk by wearing this awesome vest. It’s warm and cozy and well made. It’s Columbia of course and you can’t go wrong. The material is great, well made, and the zippers zip and stay put. Fashion and a cool design, I’m so glad I’ve got mine. The two tone color looks nice. Heads will turn, once or twice because you’ll look nice! Read more

We order new ones every few years of these in 3X and variety of colors. The fit is spot-on for my plus size husband. It offers extra length which he likes without feeling bulky or boxy. The fleece is soft, warm, and comfortable, perfect for layering in cooler weather without overheating. Read more

It is a lovely addition and is attractive enough to wear as an outer layer as well as under a coat. My wife says it’s sliming. So now you have it. 5’7” 156. Medium Read more

I'm a big guy. I really like that the sizes go to 5x. I have never owned a vest type jacket and I love it! Im 69 now and I'm cold often. But a coat is to hot. This is just perfect. Keeps me warm but not hot! It's very soft and comfortable. The pockets are giant. I am VERY pleased with this jacket. Definitely recommend it! Read more
