Nice vest, be sure to really know your "size"

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Columbia makes nice stuff, but their sizing is all over the place. I normally wear a L. I sized up to an XL based on previous purchases and it's been hit or miss. The last XL item I purchased fit like a S so I purchased this vest in XXL. It fits like an XXL which means it's way too big for me. So hard to find the right size with this company. Other than that, it's a great vest that will be nice for layering while skiing.

Daily Wear Fleece

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vest is soft and fits perfectly with a midweight sweater underneath. I get cold in the house and have worn it daily as the weather changes. They are easy care and I ordered two more colors!

The extra layer you often need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sometimes I'm hot, sometimes I'm chilled. It's the weather, baby or my age. lol. I like the option to layer up with a lightweight, cozy, wellmade vest. The interior pocket is convenient for extra storage and I prefer the exterior pocket to have a zipper, this vest does not disappoint. Did I mention cozy? Soft and just the right fit.

The fleece vests aren’t what they used to be.

Very thin, not warm for cool temperatures, shapeless, runs big. Not the quality of fleece that Columbia used to offer. Good if you just need something lightweight to wear over a shirt to carry your phone in a zipper pocket.

Would recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good quality lightweight fleece vest. I ordered a size small, which is my normal size, and it ran a little big on me.

Comfy and cozy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a long time fan of Columbia products. Finally had to replace my previous vest after 15+ years. I appreciate the comfort and versatility of vest. Makes me feel cozy even when I’m running errands.

Nice, comfortable vest.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice, well-made fleece vest. Material is soft and warm. However, the sizing is inconsistent. I purchased the exact same vest, size Medium, in Charcoal Heather color in November 2023. This vest I just purchased in May 2025, size Medium, in color Cirrus Grey Heather, is significantly larger (looser and longer). I thought I was sent a Men's Medium by mistake! I am not likely to wear it "in public" since it looks over sized. (I rated this vest 4-stars only because of the sizing inconsistency.)
