Ultralight warmth | |
| Rating: | |
| I hadn't previously been much of a fan of vests... in my mind, it was either cold enough for a jacket or it wasn't. But after using the down sweater jacket for a few years I was lured into trying the sweater vest in the interest of shaving a few extra ounces off of my overnight gear list. It turns out, the vest is perfect for most of my late spring/summer/early fall backpacking trips. I find I don't really miss having the arms, the vest still provides adequate warmth and what's more, it's lighter and packs smaller (I tend to shove it in a hole in the pack between other gear rather than using the internal stuff pocket which results in an awkward softball-sized form). When I need a little more warmth, I've found that throwing a houdini over the top does the job perfectly. The zippers, DWR treatment and cut/sizing of the jacket have all worked fine for me so far. The collar is just high enough to cover most of your neck for a little extra warmth and the draw cord around the bottom helps to trap in warm air at the bottom. All in all, I'm very pleased with the sweater vest. | |

Great product | |

| I'm not one of those amazing outdoor adventurers that Patagonia features in their catalogs. I'm just a normal urban dweller that has to put up with the day-to-day hassles of commuting on public transportation and sitting in a cube in a building that seems to double as a meat locker. That said, I don't put my clothing through all the rigors some of you might, but I love everything that I've purchased from Patagonia, with just a few exceptions. This vest is one of them. Super light, super packable, great fitting, good looking. I also have the Down Sweater in orange and am always getting compliments on it. Especially since you can see the down through the fabric. It's a great conversation piece! | |

Great vest | |
| Rating: |  |
| Overall, I love the Down Sweater Vest. I think it is a great weight and is extremely versatile. It is one of those pieces that will quickly replace several other items on your coat rack! The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is due to the recurring frustration I have with the pocket zippers. The material is so thin that the zippers catch on the fabric inside the pocket... if only there was a strip of slightly stiffer/thicker material along the zipper to prevent this from happening... just like how sleeping bag manufacturers do it... design team... hint, hint... :) I still think this is a great piece though and will highly recommend it. | |

Toasty! | |
| Rating: | |
| This sweater vest has replaced an older Patagonia down vest for around-the-house wear during winter months. The sweater is sleeker and more agile than the puffier, high-loft vest, and provides nearly as much warmth, with less tendency to overheating. I have some quibbles with the tailoring, as I am on the diminutive side, and this piece is clearly designed for someone longer-waisted than I am. As a result, the midsection tends to bunch up when I sit down! So if you're under 5'6", you might find this to be a little long. It doesn't bother me much--I am happy with my purchase. | |

Excellent fit and functionality | |
| Rating: | |
| I purchased this trip for multiple applications. First and foremost as a technical layering piece for outdoor activities and second, as a layer for travel in and around town. This vest fits very well and is surprisingly warm for its size and bulk. I am very thin and purchased a men's small. The fit is excellent. The vest does not extend past my shoulders and yet it doesn't restrict any movement about the torso. I recommend this vest to anyone looking for a down layering piece and I would say The Patagonia Sweater Vest is also superior to a comparable fleece garment. | |

Light, warm, great fit! | |
| Rating: | |
| I ordered both the Micro Puff and Down Sweater Vests. At 5'6, 130lbs, the Down Sweater Vest fits perfect in an XS. The vest is super light weight, incredibly warm, and not very "puffy". They must have gotten David Copperfield to design this thing, because I see no wires, but it feels like it's heated. At $150 it's a little expensive, but feels like you get your money's worth; I have no regrets of my purchase. I will continue to buy Patagonia in the future, and hope they offer more Slim Fit clothing. | |

I'm down for whatever... | |
| Rating: | |
| Some people think that down is only for the winter season, I beg to differ. I purchased the down sweater vest a couple of months ago and it has already seen extensive use. In Telluride during a Mountainfilm outdoor movie screening...I'm down. In the North Cascades National Forest by the fire in the evenings...I'm down. Sipping espresso early morning style in Portland...I'm down. Cant wait to put this versatile piece to use during the blustery fall days, stormy winter mountain sessions and spring rain shower happy hour...I'm down for whatever. | |

nice | |
| Rating: | |
| While this was not quite as warm as I imagined (I have not owned many vests), it is a very versatile and light piece of gear. I've found it great for cold weather hikes and just to throw on when the temps drop in the evening. Its slim fit makes it great under a shell. I also bought the down sweater jacket which is excellent for full coverage. With the weight of these two pieces, you basically can't go wrong packing one along for layering or alone depending on conditions. | |

Exceeded my expectations!! | |
| Rating: | |
| The product summary for this vest is spot on. I am incredibly impressed with this product. I purchased a medium and after being collapsed it is about the size of a softball and incredibly light. Some reviewers claimed it was to fragile and tears easily, but so far I have had no such issues. To this point I have used it for hiking and mountain biking and as my title said it has continued to exceed my expectations. Another great product from Patagonia! | |

Awesome dayhiking warmup vest | |
| Rating: | |
| You're out hiking in spring/summer/fall and you're heading up the hill, sweating away. You get to the top and a chilly wind hits you. Your energy level fades and you get cold and reluctantly decide to leave the beautiful view so you can get moving again to stay warm. If that sounds familiar, get this vest! It's a super lightweight and tiny (when packed) vest that will easily fit in your daypack. It will help you enjoy that view a lot longer! | |

Warm, but fragile | |
| Rating: |  |
| Bought this vest on clearance to replace a damaged Mt. Hardwear vest I had patched with duct tape. Nearly as warm, with considerably less bulk. Unfortunately it is ridiculously fragile, seems to tear on everything, and the down leaks out like water once it has a hole. Wishing I had bought the Vest, rather than the sweater vest... | |

zipper problem | |
| Rating: |  |
| This is a fine vest-EXCEPT, crucially, the end of one side of the zipper broke off in the first few days of use, making it unzippable. This is the first Patagonia product I have bought that hasn't met the highest manufacturing standards | |

Heavy? | |
| Rating: |  |
| I expected in the ballpark of the listed 193 grams but found that size medium was 240 grams! It's made to fit tight at bottom and top to keep wind out and heat in but I would prefer less material inches around the middle too. It looks fitted at top and bottom but balloons out a bit in the middle. For reference, I'm 5'8" and 155lbs. The jacket looks very well made and I'm sure it's as warm as people say too. | |
