I have owned Sierra Designs sleeping bags for years and have always been very pleased with them. I have been looking at a down vest for backpacking for the past several months. At the original price, this seemed to be a better value than other brands with similar fill down. I had it in my cart multiple times, but never pulled the trigger because I was scared off by the lack of reviews. At the sale price this vest is an absolute steal. I am 6' 3", 195 lbs and love the way a large fits. It is a nice athletic cut that is not too baggy, and it feels like it will not let in any drafts. It is light weight and feels like it is extremely high quality. I am about to start sweating, as I have it on right now while writing this review. I can probably count on one hand the number of reviews I have written in my life, but though I would leave this for others like me who were on the fence. Don't let the number of reviews scare you, this vest won't disappoint, especially for the price.I'm 6'1" and weigh 207 lbs and originally ordered a large. Although it fit it was a little snug, so I returned it and got an XL which fits perfectly. It is a nice vest and the only negative I have is that it's a little longer than I would like (7" below the beltline).Seems well-made. Wish it had more down but works for underlayer or around town.Light weight but warm. Fits as expected. Good color, well made, roomy pockets, zips up to neck if necessary. Works well
