Amazing color. Flattering, slim fit. I wear it more indoors since there isn't much room underneath for anything more bulky than a long-sleeved T. If you want the typical athletic fit of a fleece vest I would definitely recommend going up a size. Patagonia is sized a bit smaller than similar brands like North Face, etc.

I love this vest. The quality of the fleece is better than most fleece, thick and rich, and the fit is very good.

Nice vest -- fits slim, with a gentle curve. Good midweight, comfortably deep pockets. Great for flexible layering. I recently wore it in Yellowstone in June over lightweight base layers, and it was perfect.

Stylish, warm, fitted (not sloppy), overall a quality product. Can wear with jeans or a little more dress up for work.

My girl friend really enjoyed this vest. She wore it constantly on a recent trip to Ruidoso, NM. The original was too small and the re-order/return process went very smoothly. Great company to do business with. Highly recommended.

I love this vest! The fit is perfect. The shape is perfect. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I took it on a couple ski trips this winter, and I wear it around the house all the time. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone (and everyone!)

This is my second purchase of this light, soft, yet warm vest, perfect for winters in California with a sweater under-layer or chilly East Coast springs. It also makes a great addition to a travel wardrobe. I often pair it with a windbreaker and I am ready for anything. It\'s great for keeping warm on long plane rides,too. Sizing was perfect.

Happy suburbanite - Fits very well and is an attractive layer under dressy coats as well as ski gear. Soul warmer.

Great vest - I have been buying Patagonia for years. Their fleece is the best. It does not pill and washes up great. It's also very stylish and great for warming!

Ok, so it's a fuzzy vest and nothing special there except that the Patagonia Synchilla is the king of the polartecs. The color is deeper, the fleece has a nicer finish and it's just warmer than the others. My only complaint with the one I received is that the double layer collar was stitched tighter on the inside which causes the outside to bunch a bit. Mostly this is not a big deal, but something I think a quality inspector should have picked up on.
