Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly™ Long Vest

Very disappointed that this was not a "true black" color, but more of a navy hue. Looks very odd when paired with other black clothing. However, will still be keeping because I like the fit.

I have never worn a XXL in my life, but in this vest, it's snug! I'm normally a L or XL (of i want more room). I'm debating if i should return or not

LOVE, LOVE this vest HOWEVER, poor zipper design/quality. Does not work. They should add snap closure and replace zipper to better quality!! I do not want to return but may have to. I have seen another review on zipper issues. Do I just have a "dud" and should I replace?

When I took it out of the packaging, I was so excited and got compliments on it. When I tried it on, I was less excited due to its fit. I'm not sure how it is supposed to fit, but it is tight. I always order an XL, due to liking wiggle room. This did not give me that.

When going to purchase this item, the description says runs big so purchase a size smaller. So, buy a Small even if your normal size is a Medium. DO NOT DO THIS. Stay true to your normal size. It feels tight in the chest area and armpits. I wish I would have NOT listened to the recommendation made by Columbia. Also, zipper is difficult to zip. However, it is super cute and will be nice for winter.

Beautiful color. Great Length. Great quality. Not meant for those who have curvy builds with hips! (Fits great through the chest but too tight at the hips :-/ )

I wanted to like this vest because I have the shorter Heavenly Vest already and love it for horseback riding. I thought the longer length of this one would be great for around town and non-horsey activities, keeping my lower body a bit warmer. Based on the size chart, I ordered the large as I have curvier hips but unfortunately the vest was so huge in the torso that I swam in it while being just barely big enough around the bottom. Sadly returning.

It takes at least 5 tries to zip or unzip this vest. Not typical for Columbia branded clothing.

Very disappointing, vest has a large stain in the by the zipper. Looks like it was worn before and all item labeling were all removed. Did NOT look new.

Very disappointing, large stain at the front by the zipper. Looks like it was worn before. All item labels were removed. Did NOT look new.

I really wanted to love this vest. I love long vests. But my normal size was way too tight, and I don't even think the size up will fit. Can you please fix this issue?

Perfect fit and construction. Lightweight yet maximum warmthb love it

I bought this vest in the same size as all my other Columbia jackets. I was so excited to get it, and when I tried it on sausage casing. I returned it and I plan to order the next size up. I hope it will fit because I think it's a very cute vest

The arms pits cavities are very small. The puffer protection is minimal, almost none. The design is pitiful, it makes you look like a praying mantis, specially if the person wearing it happens to be thin and tall. I don't know what they had in their minds when they produced it. I'm 5'2" and 138 pounds, I ordered size Medium. I'm short but still I looked like a big praying mantis.

Love the style! Fit perfectly! But the zipper was almost impossible to zip. I would try another but only at a store where I could try it on. So. With that said , I sent it back

I wear a size medium in every piece of Columbia clothing I own. My husband purchased a Benton springs fleece, a tunic sweatshirt, and this vest all in size medium for me for christmas. I could not even close this vest and it almost fit my 10 year old daughter. It really needs to be stated very clearly on your products that the fits vary from garment to garment. My mother ended up taking the vest and purchased the short version for me since this one is sold out. However even a Large is snug. Most likely will return that one and go with another company.

I imagine that this is a very nice garment and that my wife would have liked it a lot. Columbia sent expedited shipping confirmation early this week but has never shipped the product. After two days on the case, the support rep looking into it is now off for three days, so I have no notion when or if delivery will occur. Going out to buy locally tomorrow to have something for Christmas.
