Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly Vest

After two washings of this vest the fleece collar started to fall apart. I own the vest in the olive color and when I looked at the sweater I had on it was covered in green fleece. I love Columbia quality but this was truly a disappointment.

I've been wearing this vest every day since I bought it in Nov. It's slimming fit is not only attractive but also very warm. I love that it uses my body heat to keep out the cold. The pockets are perfectly sized to carry my cell phone to snap pictures when I'm hiking. The collar has a soft lining that keeps my neck cozy all day long. The Heavenly Vest is indeed heavenly!

I have several pairs of Columbia pants made with the Omni therm material. So buying the vest was a given due to the fact I wear vests almost daily in the fall and winter. I ordered a medium and wasn’t sure if it was a bit too snug so I ordered a large and it was too big. I feel a vest should hug the body without being restrictive. I kept the medium and worn it several times. There is no stretch or give to the fabric. I like the zippered pockets. I love the color. I would consider the sizing to be more of a trim/slim fit. It’s very light weight.

I love this vest. Awesome. I'm 5'4" and 145 and I ordered a medium. It's perfect to have a layer or two under as well.

Bought this to wear during my chilly early morning runs. I just need something to keep my core warm, because I hate piling on layers when I run and and where I live in NC it gets cold but rarely frigid. I especially like the fleece-lined collar and zippered pockets. I wear a SM and it's definitely fitted. If I wanted to wear this zipped up over a sweater or such I'd size up to M.

Super light yet warm without making you overheat. Between this and the mid length women's white out 2, I wear them with pretty much every outfit. Perfect for PNW weather. I always wanted the popular Patagonia vest, but this one is a much better deal, noticeably warmer, and I honestly like the fit/style better. I'm 5'9" 125lbs and got this in a small!

This vest is beautiful and fits well. I used the size chart and it helped me decide between the M and L. I wear a 10/12 and the large fits great.

I am 5ft3in, 126 lbs, size 32D, athletic build and the extra small fit me perfectly. The arm holes aren't too tight, I can't zip it up all the way without feeling like I am choking, the length is great, sits just below where my jeans sit(I wear mid rise Levis jeans) and I can't sit without needing to unzip it. I had originally purchased a small and could have kept that if I wanted to wear a thicker sweater underneath but let's face it, if it is THAT cold outside, I'll be wearing a fleece, this vest and an actual winter coat, not just a vest. So the extra room isn't needed. It adds the perfect amount of warmth under a jacket when it's cold but doesn't make you sweat. I find that all of Columbia's outwear runs slightly on the larger side, so I would order your normal size if you want some room but if you like a more snug fit, go down a size. But that's just my opinion. I hope this helps. Thanks Columbia, your stuff works.

Too boxy-not flattering. Arm holes were huge. Returned

I ordered a small because I wanted it to be fitted and based on the reviews, S was the way to go. (For reference I am 5'5 / 133lbs). I looked like a giant snowman in this vest. not fitted at all---nice material, but extremely unflattering! returned.

I like the look of this vest and it keeps me warm and toasty, but I have two gripes. I really do not like the shiny silver foil. It is crinkly and loud and peeks out when the zipper is lower than my collarbone and it looks ridiculous. A minor complaint is that the collar is too high so when it is fully zipped, so it rubs. The fleece is nice though.

Women's Heavenly Vest is perfect when you need warmth but do not need a full jacket. Adds warmth when layering. The design and shape looks great too.

Best vest for hiking. Keeps me super warm even in the coldest of weather.

Lightweight, nice length, quality. It has more pop then pale. Great Spring color. As with all Columbia, go up one size.

I bought two of these in two different colors. I love the comfort, warmth without overheating, and versatilely.

Beautiful, comfortable, warm & good quality except runs too small. The large fits like a medium.

Cute, warm, fits well, function & stylish!! Win-Win
