SuperStrand LT Vest - Women's

Warm and lightweight

Super warm for how thin and lightweight it is. It immediately became a staple for both alpine and XC skiing in NW Montana. At 5'9" & 155 lbs, the large leaves plenty of room for layering underneath. One request- I wish they made one with a hood for the extra chilly days!

A bit small for me

I bought this to go under an on-area ski insulated coat for a bit more warmth. While the large did zip up, it was just big enough around the hips wearing my jeans and one light shirt. With ski pants, long underwear, etc. it would have been too small. Big enough (extra) around the top but that is not unheard of for me.

Really nice...could be better

I love this vest (and the jacket/hoody version, too), but I have to take one star away for the lack of a chest pocket. To me, that's a major flaw; I need that chest pocket for easy access to my phone, chapstick, map, etc). If I'm wearing a climbing harness (often), the side pockets are useless. Please add a chest pocket! I'd also love a hood on this vest. Otherwise, great colors and fits well.

Perfect

I love this vest! It's lightweight, but gives warmth. Perfect for hiking!

Lost mine and replaced it quick as I could!

It would be cool if there was a way to fold down the collar and snap, but really I love this vest either way! I lost mine weeks after buying and knew I had to replace it as soon as I got home, and replace in Larch! So light, careful the wind doesn't carry it away! I haven't wanted a vest for ages but gave this a try as I run hot, and it has converted me! If you are between XL and XXL, get the larger, it will be better for layering and flexibility, I did and I think it is why I love it so much. I don't feel stuffed in it, but it makes great fluff for adding to stuff sack pillows. You'll need more though, as it packs down quite small.

This rules

Love love love the color and weight and feel of this vest. I got the yellow and it's such a great pop of color in my v e r y monochrome/desaturated hiking clothing color palette. I run hot, but this has been a great addition to my wardrobe during the wet, cold spring we're having in Washington. always forget to check the cut of the item before buying it on OR, so I got a large at first and it was too loose-fitting for my style but I returned it for a medium and am super happy with the cut. Shipping was very fast both ways.

Great product; standard cut so size down for a close fit

Ordered this but it was a larger fit than expected. Returned for a medium and love it! Perfect for someone who runs warm but wants a little extra on days when it's really chilly and your day outside is slightly less movement-focused than normal.

Lightweight, packable, comfy, warm

Like the jacket, the vest is roomier than I expected, but that's preferable in order to layer underneath. I hope it will come in other colors in future seasons.
