Customer Reviews Ariat Crius Vest

I wanted to purchase this product for the ability of concealed carry while wearing a stylish vest. The concealed compartment is really good very easily accessible and it has a great conceal component. I am glad I made this choice for my needs!

I honestly didnt pay attention that it had a concealed carry pocket , but its a very nice option. It is extremely comfortable and warm.

I reviewed Ariat against Venado, both were 2XLL. Both fit great, but I was buying this vest for concealment and comfort. First off, quality of Ariat was top notch, many pockets, oversized zipper with 2 zipper pulls, going in both directions. Great zip up around the neck area. Very well made and will hold up to rain well. As far as the concealment part, when I put a smaller pistol in the correct position, the pistol telegraphed right thru and was quite bulky when zipper is fully up. When you have the zipper half way down or the vest fully open, you can easily see I have something bulky and heavy in the jacket which is horrible. So the jacket itself is awesome, however the concealment is in the wrong place and I can't use it for concealment. As for the Venado which is a lot more pricey, the jacket is more for lighter Temps as the vest is cotton and does not wrap your neck in cold weather, still a nice piece but when it comes to concealment, it worked crazy good, and it does not matter if the jacket is zipped up, partially zipped or fully open. Keep in mind you can't take it off if you have your piece in it as everyone could see it. Ariat pocket for the pistol is deep, so you can zip up the pocket and take your jacket off and no one would see it. But concealment sucks and this would be amplified by a full size weapon.

Great vest and that you carry Talls as an option. Big plus for a 64 guy that is also long.

Looks great, nice and warm. For me it runs a size too big. Normally Im and xl but it was huge, they did an easy re

Great fit. Holds my sig sauer 380 comfortably. No imprinting. They need to make it for us left handed people though. That's why I'm giving it only 4 stars.

Fit perfectly and very warm. Color is versatile and will go with any outfit. The only thing that would make it better is if there were two conceal carry pockets. It would make it easier for the person wearing the vest to choose based on their dominant hand. Its currently on the left chest so its made for right handed person.

It's a nice vest but mine came with a stain on the front of the vest and it doesn't come off had to return. Will have to order again and hope there's no stain this time around.

Overall, I'm very happy with this vest. It fits well. The length is perfect for OWB and the inner pocket is a nice concealment alternative. It is warm and seems well constructed. My only complaint is the collar was tweaked a bit when I received it and I had a difficult time straightening it out.

Very nice

The vest itself is great. It was ordered on Dec. 18th as a gift; paid expedited shipping and it said it'd arrive by Dec. 22nd. Waited about 2 days for shipping confirmation; received none which spurred me to contact customer service. First was a phone call and I got no answer so left my # for a call back. Unfortunately missed their call. Attempted to call back, same issue. Waited another day with no return call, tried again and nothing. Reached out via their chat and contact form and got no response which was extremely frustrating. I get shipping issues happen.finally arrived Dec. 26. I sent another contact form requesting a refund for the expedited shippingit was only $5 but more so principle. Again, no response after waiting a week. Thought I'd try again bc maybe there was an issue, again after a week no response. Lack of CS is infuriating. Makes me question about what would happen if I had an issue with the merchandise itself. You pay decent $ for a product, you expect some type of response even if it isn't the answer you want. Not bashing the customer service repsI've been there! But the system itself seems insufficient. And I am one to never give negative reviews!

Well made vest, lacks mirrored pocket setup for both left and right handed concealed carry. Pocket on opposite side would also allow for spare mag holders and or phone storage while also offsetting a portion of both bulk and especially weight of your handgun.

Generous proportion and deep zippered hand pockets. Missing a locker loop and there's no cellphone pocket. Carry pistol pocket ample size for a phone provided the weapon stays home. It's very warm and I am generally pleased with the vest.

Vest was bulky and zippers were not smooth. Seemed boxy

Not bad. Slightly bulky. Collar stands straight up and is bothersome at times. Should remove when dining or unzip. So-Called holster in the CCW pocket is useless.

first one I got as a gift after 11 months zipper came apart. Got another and the zipper is very hard to connect to zip up. Love vest but is a pain to try to zip up zipper.

I'm not happy the day I had to use it I couldn't the package I expected it soon and all this has taken a long time.

Zipper keeps breaking even upon replacement, not quality

I ordered this a few days ago I bought the brindle/major brown and it does NOT look like the picture. The bottom part in the picture looks really light beige but the one I received was greenish gray and the top was dark gray. It says it's the correct one but it is not true in color very disappointing

Total garbage! Wore it 5 times and the zipper broke that won't zip up anymore. Looks brand new, but the zipper is very poor quality

Missing item!! I ordered three of this vest, but the size 3X did not come in the order and I still have no resolution with Marriott as to when it will come or be replaced. I have called three times and still no answer. I am very upset about the situation and would love for someone to contact me and send my Vest that I Have "already paid" for! (This app requires you to pick a size in order to post a review, but I have no size because I do not have a vest. )

My packages got delivered to Pretty Pairie, KS 67570 post office but I live in VA. Those packages was for Christmas and I never received them. Every time I called don't nobody to the phone so at this I want a refund or I want the item I paid for delivered to the right address. Furthermore I wouldn't recommend anybody to shop with y'all because I will never shop yo y'all again

Ordered the vest while it was on sale for our engagement photos. Best came with a large stain on the front near the zipper. Looked like it would come out with a wash so I put it in the washer and the stain didn't come out. They won't accept the return as the tags are no longer attached and the merchandise was washed. We're both disappointed as they took over a month to even respond after reaching out and they offered a 15% discount on our next purchase. This isn't ideal. Items should not come stained. We spend hundreds of dollars a year on Ariat products and this has never been a problem before. Now we're unsure about future orders.

I ordered a gift on 12/6 and it has not arrived. I have called your toll-free number numerous times and you do not answer or return calls, How do I find out where this Christmas gift is???
