Thoughtful features on an excellent down vest - Outdoor Research Transcendent Vest - Mens

The Transcendent vest has nice fit and features for me. At 5'8" and about 170, I'm a large medium/small large, and the size medium is good for layering over light items, but I need the size large for wearing over bulkier clothes. The soft neck interior and backhand side of the pockets are cozy, with the soft lining even on one side of the interior drop pockets. The drop pockets are what I really like about the Transcendent vest, as I find pockets like that an excellent feature for traveling. Where else can I keep my passport and boarding passes so handy? I like that the drop pockets are bisected, leaving a tall, slim (about two fingers wide) pocket close to the side seam for things like pens, etc.
What I did notice on the vests I received, is that the down in the collar had shifted over to one side, leaving the other side wanting, but that was easy to remedy.
The 650-fill down seems perfect for this non-bulky layer.
