Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly™ Long Vest

Love the color. It's a beautiful jewel-toned turquoise. The length in the back might be a bit much for some, but it works for me, especially with the 2 way zipper. I'm looking forward to wearing it in the early spring. I'm 5'5" 130 lbs and the medium fits well.

This vest is extremely stylish! The fit is so flattering. I'm pleasantly surprised at how warm it is, yet not bulky at all. The first time I wore it, hubby said I looked sexy.....so winner winner chicken dinner! Can't go wrong with Columbia

Very good

This vest is great. I really like that it is a long vest. Whoever came up with it is a genius. It keeps you pretty warm with the Omni heat inside the vest. The inside of the neck portion, has very soft material to keep your neck warm. The vest would compliment any shape in my opinion. Definitely a keeper!

I love this long vest. It is very warm and I really like the style. It is a little longer in the back. I ordered a large and it is fitted but not too tight. I can wear a sweatshirt or sweater under it.

Size large, 5'2'" 180lbs, perfect fit, I previously bought a medium and it was very snug.

I really appreciate that Colombia makes some attractive long vest options that are relatively affordable! They are hard to find! I love the sleek, urban style look and fit of this vest, beautiful matte colors too. The omni-heat works well to keep me toasty without looking like a giant walking marshmallow. The only thing that could be improved is perhaps shortening the back? I very much appreciate length, but this is overkill. The hem hits mid thigh in the front but below my knees around the back, which along with the high collar and split butt panel gives this vest a victorian era style, somewhat like wearing coattails....I often feel like I'm off to a renaissance fair when I wear it (just need a cane, top hat and monocle haha). As my partner says, "it's a look". That said, it definitely does the job and I'm not averse to a festive splash of time travelling. For reference I'm 5'4", 125lbs and wearing a small in the photo.

Perfect fit! I'm 5'6" 125lbs and size small worked well with room for a sweater. Color is lovely! Warmer than I expected and still light weight!

Extremely light, yet warm! I love the length - fits true to size.

I love this vest. It is just the right long layering piece especially over leggings which I wear a lot in the winter, but then doesn't need to be removed like a coat once I am indoors. Like all Columbia outer wear, I needed to size up to a large to fit comfortably around my hips.

Layering with this in the context or the volatile temperature has been amazing. I know this will be a staple that will last me a while.

This vest is awesome ! Comfortable, lightweight but warm, fits perfectly. I love the dual zipper which allows you to unzip the bottom a little to allow for movement. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this jacket. Perfect on its own and under my raincoat. The pockets are plenty big enough to hold your phone on the go and there is a little zipper pocket in the inner breast for a little cash or keys!

I am a vest girl and this one is perfect!! If you are busty, make sure you size up a bit.

Love the longer length in the back! It's warm and comfortable! I've received so many compliments!

This is a beautiful winter vest. The color is more of a stone than white shade. It fits true to size. The longer length in the back is different from other vests. I appreciate that the front zipper is a double zipper so the bottom can be zipped open. I plan on using this for outdoor pickleball this winter. It has not been cold enough to wear yet so I don't know how warm it will keep me. I think this vest will be very versatile and I look forward to wearing it.

Best vest ever!!! The Omni Heat is a game changer. The length of this vest is not only stylish, but it keeps your butt warm. I have had multiples of this vest. It is worth every penny.

Bought it last year and lived in it. Now I'm back for a second color.

Now have two of these vests. Bought the first one to wear during a two week trip to Alaska. Rained during our multi-mile hiking trips in 45 degree weather. It was the perfect under layer with my raincoat. Now looking forward to wearing it with sweaters and under light jackets as we move into fall and winter in the lower 48. Just one caution: the fuzzy collar, which is quite comfortable, got stained by tinted sunscreen. Took some serious effort to get the stains out and was not 100 percent successful.

Long, Cozy and Warm and love all the color options

Beautiful color and I think it will be great for walking the doggies and playing golf in the winter. I think it runs a bit on the small side.

As others have said, size up. I wear a large and purchased xlg due to other's comments. I don't worry about the hips fitting, mine are narrow'ish,but i did want a vest large and comfy enough to fit a sweater and/ir light jacket under. I am a stickler for ammenties, I hate when your technical brand clothing does not include the simple things...pockets with zips, soft collar, inside pocket, reverse zip,etc. This vest has all of those items, which is why I pulled the plug to buy x2,black and rust'ish. The vest is feminine yet practical, not necessarily "sporty" or "technical" looking but it can be used as both. I have no regrets purchasing this. I will use it in the Michigan fall, winter spring and also on my sailboat when i need to cut the cool breeze on the water crossings.

Great jacket. I purchased a medium and i usually wear an 8 or medium. Fits slightly tight but like it.

I love this vest and now own two of them. Given the longer length and high fleece collar, they provide much more warmth than other versions. I agree with other reviewers about sizing up. I'm normally a small in Columbia jackets but needed a medium in this - it's tighter at the chest than you think. Otherwise great buy.

Hello my mom's caretaker had this vest and I saw it on her, fell in love with it she even tryed giving it to me then I got diagnosed with cancer and when I started feeling better and going out I needed a vest to wear to deal with broken arm due to the cancer and went on the hunt to get my own jacket . Found it ordered it and just love it !! I have always been a vest girl! So happy and feeling great wearing it. So that my story
