Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly Vest

very small. false size

Love the design and feel of this vest, but a little tight on chest, I'm average but since it's not stretchy, so please make a little more room on chest, thanks

Warm, high quality material. Only concern is small arm holes. It's tough to fit a sweatshirt (thin) beneath it.

Again colors don't match the product. It's frustrating to await delivery and then have to send back high quality, well designed and well fitting clothes because color is not as pictured. Please change the lighting or somehow fix photos. Only order "Dusty Crimson" if you like rusty red.

Really loved this product! The fit was true to size, it's warm, cozy, and breathable. The only minor detail was the chin guard when zipped all the way was bumping a bit to my chin but it was no way painful-I'm also not used to vests so I think it's just something to get used to and adjust or pull the edges down a bit. Otherwise no complaints! The color was absolutely flattering and the pockets were perfect. Would recommend this product.

This vest is very warm! I normally wear a size large but decided to go with medium and it fits good but a bit snug.

Love this vest, I can wear it when it gets a bit chilly or under a jacket for winter. Very functional and chic :)

This vest is very warm, however the arm holes are quite small and high set. I only weigh 100 pounds, but yet my shoulders are broad, so I found it difficult to do too much movement of my arms. This vest is better if you only have one long sleeve shirt under it.

Well made, like the ivory color, good pockets, good styling. But I'm a standard small and this vest was too roomy in the bust for me. Im pretty flat chested so maybe if you're a busty small it would work for you. Also, I have short hair and a bare neck so I was attracted to the description of the soft lining around the neck. But it doesn't go down far enough in the back if I wear a t-shirt, so I still get that cold nylon feel on my neck. But if that's not an issue for you, either, it's a pretty darn nice vest.

This vest fits great. It's tapered where is should be to still look good and not like the 'Michelin man' while wearing it. I only wish they could make the omni-heat, in black or grey that is not shinny metallic.

This vest is really cute and stylish! The only thing about it is I found the fit to run a little bit on the small side. But that's only if you want to wear a sweater or heavier shirt underneath it, which is why I purchased it in the first place. So unfortunately, I will have to return it, which is why I gave it four stars instead of five. But I loved everything else about it.

Liked the fit but a little too bright green like an emerald green than blue. Bought the voodo ski vest lighter weight.

Nice fit on a curvy figure. Warm but not too bulky.

I have always wanted a vest, but not living in state that gets too cold, I thought it would be ridiculous, until I moved to PNW. Having experienced a few cold winters, I am so glad I decided to get the vest. The Omni-heat offers warmth while being outdoors without the bulkiness of a jacket. Absolutely love wearing this vest & my other Columbia products.

Runs a bit large and long

I was looking forward to this vest however it is not made for a petite person. It looks long and sloppy on me. I'm 5'2" and I've tried it in multiple times trying to love it but it's just not working out.

I usually wear a large in Columbia clothing. But the large size of this vest was tight in me. I decided to send it back. The quality looked good and the blue color was very pretty. Unfortunately, that color wasn't available in a larger size.

Nice style, just fit too tight around the hips... This is where the dual zipped design comes in handy, hint, hint, nudge, nudge Columbia. I'm 5'8" size 12/14 .

I'm 5'3" bought a large, was a bit long and snug in the torso area so returned. :(

I wear SMALL in other brands however this small feels almost uncomfortable and limits my range of motion (I'm 5' 7" and 135-138lbs). May need to exchange for MEDIUM. Also "Light Cloud" is definitely NOT a white. It's more of a grey/taupe. Lastly, I'm used to 'puffer' style vests. This is NOT a puffer... it's very form fitting/flat not puffy.

It looks nice from the outside, but the inside lining of the jacket is CLEAR PLASTIC which makes it feel extremely hot and clingy. It feels like wearing a rain coat inside out. I do like the pockets.

It runs small very disappointing it's such a nice vest but just too snug

Las tallas vienen muy grandes en este modelo y muy largo tambien

I had a down Columbia vest for 10 years when the zipper broke. That vest was great, super warm, thick down, hood with faux fur. Stylish enough to wear around town and warm enough to wear spring skiing. I sent in the vest hoping for a repair -- Patagonia style -- but instead I was issued a credit for a new purchase. If I had known that the quality had deteriorated so much in the last 10 years, I would never have sent my original vest in. Neither this Heavenly vest nor the Down 22 vest come close to the one I had before in terms of warmth. I do like the zippered pockets (including an inner pocket) on the Heavenly vest and the fact that it is water resistant, but I regret having let the first one go.

Make sure to order the correct size otherwise you will be charged original shipping charges to send it back. A company this large should honor free shipping no matter what.
