Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Transcendent Down Vest

Great quality you expect from OR. Keeps the core toasty without over heating you.

Great vest, fits well and keeps you warm.

Husband wears it inside when it's chilly, & finds it very comfortable. Likes the longer back. Lightweight & comfortable. Very good value & price.

Used as an insulation layer and I honestly over heated and it was 20 degrees with 15mph winds. I was shed hunting in Wyoming. Can't wait to use this during the next winter months when it actually gets cold.

Fits well either dressed down or with business-casual attire. Looks sharp, functional with good pockets, and most importantly, keeps me warm!

Great vest for xc skiing... I wear it underneath my Foray Gore-Tex Jacket Does the job of keeping me warn when the temperature drops below the -10c When ordering, add a size to what you usually order, because this Jacket is designed tight. There no space to spare

Great for the spring days here in the woods in the Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

I haven't worn it that much but it seems good so far. It could be a little more gay though if you're going to call it a transgender vest. When you guys shipped to me you must've put it on the back of a snail it took four weeks to get here.

Does not overheat in warmer times like spring and keeps the heat when running with underlay and another layer is insufficient like minus 0C (32F) Keeps warmth in rainy situations as well. Pockets are nice and deep too so things don't fall out easily. I'm a medium and this medium was a bit tight. Great overall.

The best down vest I have ever owned. As a result, also bought the down jacket for both my wife and I respectively. Highly recommended.

It's perfect for spring and fall!

Fits great, (I'm 6'2", 190lbs) feels great, nice and light and warm. I've always been happy with my OR layers.

Love this vest! I liked it so much I got another in a different color. Not too bulky but warm. Nice slim fit. Great job OR!

Light weight warm and super comfy.

I've used it around town a bit and also several times at lunch breaks on hikes in the Chuckanuts. It has the high quality of workmanship I've come to expect in OR products. It is not really high-loft, but I didn't expect it to be. If you want a really high-loft vest, look for one that has 950-fill down and be prepared to pay more than twice the price of this one. Sizes may run a bit small: I had to send the medium back and get a large. Or maybe I've just gotten fatter.

Nice fit, light & warm.

Very nice, light & warm.

Incredibly light, amazingly warm. I don't go on a ski trip without it. I'm 6'0, 190. Size L is perfect fit

Perfect for wearing over a hoody while roasting marshmallows on a crisp winter night. The vest XL size fits perfectly on my Covid Pandemic sculpted body.

Wear it all the time. Under jackets or on it own. Super comfy

Boyfriend loves it for every day riding slopes , sledding , hiking , chopping firewood great layer

Best gift for my boyfriend we live in ski resort in bc , he loves the lightness and yet warmth as underlayer ,sledding riding, hiking , getting firewood .

Sleek, non-bulky, warm, fitted, movement friendly, great looking mid-layer. Not a true puffy vest - it's not super filled - but great for layering, or on it's own in milder temps. The Twilight/Ink is not as purpley as it appears in the pictures. Medium was true to size.

Great addition to my gear. Awesome in between piece. The pockets in this vest are also a plus, like the big mesh stash pocket on the inside left.
