Durable, Well Designed
The fabric is a tight weave that is not prone to snagging. The finish is water repellent. The pocket layout and design is functional. It is surprisingly warm considering how thin it is. It adds warmth with very little bulk. It is perfect for those who utilize the Layering Principle for versatile comfort in changing conditions. The Hi-Viz orange is appreciated on job sites. A version in Hi-Viz Lime Yellow needs to be added to the lineup.

small size is a little bit big
little bit big for a 5’3 & 125 lbs guy like me but overall i love it, like the fuctionality of all the pockets, light you can wear thicker or lined plaid shirts and not looking like stuffed scare crow, perfect for outdoor and tradesperson.
i give it one star on durabiliy, i’ll give it a year then i can tell.

Perfect gift!!! Haven't taken off
Bought two, one for my brother in law and one for my husband. They both haven't taken them off. Very well made but not too puffy like other north face vest. They said they can still move very well but they're very warm. I'm very happy with my purchases! A large was perfect, they are both 6 ft tall and the length is great

One of my go to pieces on cold days, zippered all the way up on colder windy days or open for mild days, but either way, it does the job.

Great vest. Buy one.
I'm 6'3" 350lbs. The vest I purchased is 3xl. It is a perfect fit. I cant stand the restriction on my arms that a bulky jacket creates. I bought this vest to wear underneath a fleece jacket. It dipped to about 38 degrees two weeks ago, and hovered in the mid 40s all day. I had to remove the fleece and just wear the vest which kept my core really warm. If you're working.....the vest alone is enough to keep you warm on cooler days.

Great Lightweight Vest
Fits as expected. A nice lightweight vest. Iâ??m 6â??2â?? and can pull of a medium easily enough. I like clothes that fit close to the body and a medium fit my frame perfectly. Itâ??s lightweightamd a great layer for over a flannel for the Northern Michigan Autumn Days. Easy to layer underneath a jacket as well.

Great Lightweight Vest!
This vest is lightweight and perfect for wearing with a shirt when you don't want to have restricted movement with a bulky coat. The pockets are a bonus because face it, you just can't have enough pockets.

I’m a big fan of this vest. The rugged Carhartt durability that I have grown to appreciate has combine with a bit more of a clean and versatile offering that I can dress up or dress down. Pockets are fairly secure. Shoulder opening are fitted and comfortable. Waist is wide enough to fit most bodies very comfortably, but the overall best is not too blousy for a more tailored look.

Surprisingly warmer then it looks
Was shopping around for a synthetic vest to wear under my regular jacket on really cold days. Happen to be on sale at the store while buying feed and picked it up. Really surprised on how warm it keeps your chest and neck when zipped all the way up. Like the lots of pockets too. Fraction of the price name brand "outdoor" brands. It's a keeper!

This is a great vest. Although it's lightweight, it is warm. It looks good. It's great for layering. It compliments the various flannels offered by Carhartt very nicely. The pockets provide ample storage. I definitely recommend this product.

I bought two of these for my two sons. One is in a wheelchair and can't have bulky outer ware. This fits him perfectly and is thin enough but warm enough to wear without any cause of pressure sores. The other son loves his as well and it fits him great.
