Coldfront Hooded Down Vest II - Women's

Vibrant yellow vest!!!

Warm, functional, stylish and high quality vest! I made a bold move and decided on the bright yellow and absolutely love it! Great design!

Great puffy vest

This isn’t a technical garment but it’s exactly what I wanted- puffy vest for fall/spring to throw over a thins sweater. Fits and looks great.

Pretty happy

I think it could do without the fuzzy black material around the neck, it seems like something that'll get sweaty and wet when xc skiing. And the color is a very rain jacket yellow, which isn't my absolute favorite, but that's just me (photos look accurate). Quality as usual! Very reasonable if on sale.

Love it!!

Love the fit, the size, the perfect fluff.

Fashion & warmth

The vest was puffier than I expected it to be, but it is SO warm & I have only had good reception with the color! (I got the yellow.) You definitely have to be ready to stand out/ be looked at if you get the yellow color, but it's super super effective if that's what you want! I haven't stopped wearing it since I got it! My new favorite thing to layer over a hoodie jacket or flannel! Throw a beanie on, and you're good to go! I'm 128 lbs, 5'7" and got a small and it's perfect. I could fit a more warm coat under it if I wanted, and sometimes put my coat over it just headed into an event quickly. Great buy, super super pleased with the purchase

Warm, great fit

Fit is as expected. I was worried it might be boxy, but it isn't. 5'8, 145 and a size medium is perfect. I can wear a light sweatshirt underneath. It's warm and just the right amount of puff!

Great vest!

The vest is very warm and light weight. I ordered a medium and it fit perfect. I love the fur at the top.

Thin and runs small

Runs small and is veryyy thin/feels cheap. The hood is nice and soft but it’s not removable. For this steep price I’d rather buy a north face and actually be warm!

Cozy but need to size up

I bought the original cold front vest in a medium and it fit perfectly, but when I got a medium in this one it fit too small and I needed to send it back to get a large. It is also shorter than the original and cut straight all around instead of having it a bit longer at the back if that makes a difference to you or not. The faux fur is a nice touch though making it extra cozy compare to the original and the stitching is nice. It's too bad I have to pay for shipping to return, I hope OR changes that policy one day or at least for high priced items.

So Cozy

So I have the original cold front vest, but when I saw this one had a fuzzy neck and came in pink, I needed it. I love it, it's definitely so cozy and adds a nice bit of warmth. I've worn it horse back riding in windy conditions with light snow and was plenty warm.
