Customer Reviews Ariat Crius Insulated Vest

Good quality vest. Fits well and very comfortable.

Overall impressed with these vests. Material was an upgrade over other brands I compared to. Colors are bright and vibrant even after cleaning. Wearing warmth is great during these cold winter months.

Purchased Jan24, black, medium, which still has a relaxed fit, I'm normally a large in upper clothing. The fur lining feels great & well insulated, however while walking briskly, any under garment (a hoody for instance) rides up, creating a draft to skin, defeating the idea off a body 'warmer'. Lastly, the zip is on wrong side, typical to origin maker?

Only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because of the double zipper.

The vest quality is outstanding, probably the best that I own. The CWP pocket is very nice as well. My only complaint is how long the vest is especially considering that there is a separate big and tall size. I'm 5'9 and the vest almost comes down to my fingertips.

OVER ALL THE VEST IS NICE AND IT KEEPS YOUR CHEST WARM I LIKE THAT I CAN CERRY AND ITS NOT SEEN. BUT I HATE THE ZIPER.

I'm 6'4, 190 pounds and a large was a little bulky on me. Going to try the medium. Loved the vest and its construction.

Multiple family members and friends own them and they speak highly. I have tried it in and with weapon access and the comfort of vest itself, I'll be making a purchase shortly I know.

Very nice vest but no inside pockets. Size ran a little small

I wanted to purchase this product for the ability of concealed carry while wearing a stylish vest. The concealed compartment is really good very easily accessible and it has a great conceal component. I am glad I made this choice for my needs!

I reviewed Ariat against Venado, both were 2XLL. Both fit great, but I was buying this vest for concealment and comfort. First off, quality of Ariat was top notch, many pockets, oversized zipper with 2 zipper pulls, going in both directions. Great zip up around the neck area. Very well made and will hold up to rain well. As far as the concealment part, when I put a smaller pistol in the correct position, the pistol telegraphed right thru and was quite bulky when zipper is fully up. When you have the zipper half way down or the vest fully open, you can easily see I have something bulky and heavy in the jacket which is horrible. So the jacket itself is awesome, however the concealment is in the wrong place and I can't use it for concealment. As for the Venado which is a lot more pricey, the jacket is more for lighter Temps as the vest is cotton and does not wrap your neck in cold weather, still a nice piece but when it comes to concealment, it worked crazy good, and it does not matter if the jacket is zipped up, partially zipped or fully open. Keep in mind you can't take it off if you have your piece in it as everyone could see it. Ariat pocket for the pistol is deep, so you can zip up the pocket and take your jacket off and no one would see it. But concealment sucks and this would be amplified by a full size weapon.

Great fit. Holds my sig sauer 380 comfortably. No imprinting. They need to make it for us left handed people though. That's why I'm giving it only 4 stars.

It's a nice vest but mine came with a stain on the front of the vest and it doesn't come off had to return. Will have to order again and hope there's no stain this time around.

Overall, I'm very happy with this vest. It fits well. The length is perfect for OWB and the inner pocket is a nice concealment alternative. It is warm and seems well constructed. My only complaint is the collar was tweaked a bit when I received it and I had a difficult time straightening it out.

The vest itself is great. It was ordered on Dec. 18th as a gift; paid expedited shipping and it said it'd arrive by Dec. 22nd. Waited about 2 days for shipping confirmation; received none which spurred me to contact customer service. First was a phone call and I got no answer so left my # for a call back. Unfortunately missed their call. Attempted to call back, same issue. Waited another day with no return call, tried again and nothing. Reached out via their chat and contact form and got no response which was extremely frustrating. I get shipping issues happen.finally arrived Dec. 26. I sent another contact form requesting a refund for the expedited shippingit was only $5 but more so principle. Again, no response after waiting a week. Thought I'd try again bc maybe there was an issue, again after a week no response. Lack of CS is infuriating. Makes me question about what would happen if I had an issue with the merchandise itself. You pay decent $ for a product, you expect some type of response even if it isn't the answer you want. Not bashing the customer service repsI've been there! But the system itself seems insufficient. And I am one to never give negative reviews!

Well made vest, lacks mirrored pocket setup for both left and right handed concealed carry. Pocket on opposite side would also allow for spare mag holders and or phone storage while also offsetting a portion of both bulk and especially weight of your handgun.

Generous proportion and deep zippered hand pockets. Missing a locker loop and there's no cellphone pocket. Carry pistol pocket ample size for a phone provided the weapon stays home. It's very warm and I am generally pleased with the vest.

Vest was bulky and zippers were not smooth. Seemed boxy

Not bad. Slightly bulky. Collar stands straight up and is bothersome at times. Should remove when dining or unzip. So-Called holster in the CCW pocket is useless.

I'm not happy the day I had to use it I couldn't the package I expected it soon and all this has taken a long time.

Zipper keeps breaking even upon replacement, not quality

I ordered this a few days ago I bought the brindle/major brown and it does NOT look like the picture. The bottom part in the picture looks really light beige but the one I received was greenish gray and the top was dark gray. It says it's the correct one but it is not true in color very disappointing

I ordered this vest for my husband as a Christmas present and when he opened it, it had a few cuts in the fabric. I emailed the customer service team Christmas Day expecting there to be a delay in response due to the holiday season. I followed up January 25 and finally heard back February 7 with questions about the item so we could initiate the return. I responded about two weeks later and followed up again March 31. It is now April and I have yet to get a refund or a new vest. This process has been so frustrating and taken so much longer than necessary. The vest seems like a great vest and my husband loves the fit, but it is too damaged for him to wear. Truly I am hoping that by leaving a review, some action will be taken since I have reached out to customer service but have had little luck.

Missing item!! I ordered three of this vest, but the size 3X did not come in the order and I still have no resolution with Marriott as to when it will come or be replaced. I have called three times and still no answer. I am very upset about the situation and would love for someone to contact me and send my Vest that I Have "already paid" for! (This app requires you to pick a size in order to post a review, but I have no size because I do not have a vest. )

Vest is nice but very disappointed with how it arrived with with damaged collar..one side is bent out of shape pinched cause seems no care was taken with packaging. Looks horrible ..Vest is nice but not when damaged and paid good money for.
