Vest is compact and warm but the size large is too short and wide for comfort. I'm 6'4 and 185. It is fairly comfortable around camp but pairs awkwardly as a midlayer. Elastic at the shoulders is mildly uncomfortable as well. I do not recommend for tall lanky individuals. Sizing seems to be more directed at huskier folks.
Would recommend: Yes

Perfect vest for ultra light backpacking. My chest is 40 inches and the medium is a snug fit. I am well satisfied with the vest and Campsavers service and shipping.

precisely what I was looking for. not a fat layer - just enough warmth to keep me comfortable while active on those days when a softshell alone is not enough, but a puffy sweater is too much. light and compact enough there's no excuse not to carry it on fast/light excursions

Been wearing this since I received it. Extremely light. Very warm for the weight. As other reviewers have noted, it's not form fitting so there's a little room at the waist on me. Doesn't bother me, but might bug others. I think this will be an excellent addition to my backpacking gear. Seems great for layering. Love it.

I bought this after watching my brother use it regularly hiking in the Rockies. I wear it by itself almost every winter day in central NC. Add a wind/rain shell and it's good down to 25 degrees. Great inside the house with thermostat turned low. Fine wind protection. Extremely light .. and looks good. I'm 6', 190 pounds, 36" waist, and the large fits fine. Expensive .. but worth it. You might find

It has been a great layer for going to and from work. Just enough and not too much. I live in the northwest and am frquently in the rain. A raincoat isn't quite enough. I layer it under the raincoat and it's perfect.

This thing is great, it's super light, super packable, and very warm for it's (minimal) weight. I use it both for layering, and as my primary insulation in warmer weather. The length is good, and it fits very well around the shoulders. The fit in the middle is large for me (I'm 5'8", 170#, 32"w). Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this vest
