Customer Reviews Smartwool Smartloft Vest

I've had three prior incarnations of this vest. Had the black vest, the teal vest, and the navy long sleeve jacket. These vests & jackets are my absolute favorite. Warm and Sporty with multiple zippered pockets. I lost weight and purchased the recent version of this vest. Unfortunately it fit wrong. It felt less cozy, more stiff, the length was shorter and the waistline was proportioned differently, making the jacket look like a forced hourglass. The prior jacket version had a feminine slim fit without the fake hourglass shape. I usually don't write reviews and I'm definitely not a negative person but this jacket was my absolute favorite. I've been looking for prior years models to buy without much luck. Hoping Smartwool decides to make the old version next year.

Honestly this is the first time I am disappointed with Smartwool item. I own smartloft vests from 2 years ago that fit nice and are excellent quality. This year design has changed. The side paneling is 50% polyester that makes them stiff. Also vest is 2 inches wider and bit shorter which is really unflattering. Front nylon panel is lower quality, more stiff and makes loud noice. I can definitely see that something changed for worse. This is huge disappointment

I have 2 SmartWool vests from 2+ years ago. I tried to purchase a new one but it was much wider and shorter. It did not have a flattering fit like the previous ones. So sad to see such a good thing take a turn for the worse!

Not true to size. I have same vest in Med and fits well. Can barely zip this one and it is shorter

Didn't like the fit
