Great for in between seasons!

Rating:*****
Sometimes you just need another layer--this vest is perfect. If you are going for a walk and you aren't sure if you need a coat, put this on. It moves with you, and it is light weight. Quilted with nylon lining in front and back, with fleece on sides. I wish the pockets had zippers, just for a wallet or lipstick. I wore this all weekend on a bus trip in the rain. It fit well under my raincoat, and you can put the collar up or down. I wear this around the house when I need another layer, and still need to be able to move easily while cleaning. I have it in 3 colors, and I'm ordering 2 more. I will wear this for 3 seasons. Or 4, if you need a little something in the summer evenings. The quilted lining in the front and back don't feel bulky like most other fleece vests. This is a perfect combination of form and function, and you can't beat the price!

Emerald Valley II vest

Rating:*****

I got this vest in three colors. It is a great layering vest in cold weather and a great cover when it is getting warmer. I have dressed it up with a pin for a dressy occasion and worn it with jeans.

I even got one for my daughter.

I only wish they would make a jacket exactly like this with a REMOVABLE hood so it can be dressy or casual.

Wardrobe Staple

Rating:*****
I now own this vest in three neutral colors (brown, black and white), and find myself wearing one or the other of them pretty often when the weather is cool. I get cold easily and they make a great additional layer over a sweater or fleece pullover, while being non-bulky enough to fit under jackets and coats. I love that it comes in petite sizes, so the length is perfect for me.

Love this vest

Rating:*****

Nice, lightweight vest, perfect for mild winters to wear
alone or for layering in colder areas. It is a little shorter than some of the other Columbia vests, but
I am a Petite and it is perfect for me. Size was the same as for other Columbia vests. Great value. The
winter white looks a little dressier than some of my other sports vests.

Love this vest!!

Rating:*****

I had to buy this vest in every color. It wears well and washes well. I wear size 12 and I bought a medium. It is snug when zipped but I think a large would be too loose. Buy it and enjoy!!

Lightweight, Smart Vest

Rating:*****
This lightweight vest is more for wearing to work or shopping than for sporting activities. It is smart and adds that little bit of extra warmth if it's breezy or cool in the morning. I'm very happy with it.

Handy vest to wear around the house

Rating:*****

I am wearing one right now. Light weight, comfortable, just enough extra warmth around the neck and torso, and easy to take on and off. And pretty colors. I use them daily during winter months.

Great vest for a great price

Rating:****
Great looking, fitted, lightweight vest. Surprisingly warm, and looks great with both casual and business wear. It's also great to have a petite option: wish it came in more colors in petite than white!

perfect fit! love it

Rating:*****
This is just how other reviewers described it... lightweight but warm -- not at all bulky. I think I'll be wearing it a lot as the weather turns cooler.

Light, not bulky. A great extra layer!

Rating:*****
This is a nice very light weight vest. Very comfortable. I know I will get a lot of use out of it! It is good looking too!

Didn't fit

Rating:***
Was looking for a pretty, warm vest to wear traveling. It's very pretty but even the size large didn't fit(I'm a 12-14). It's cut too narrow in the back and pulls across the top of your hips, you know that crease that some blouses do when they're designed to be tucked in. But this is outerwear! If I exchanged for the XL, then the front would be too big. I returned it.
