Outdoor Ventures Women's Mia Windproof Full-Zip Fleece Lined Softshell Vest

In love with this vest. I'm a bedside nurse and I hate wearing jackets or any long sleeve because of infection control. This vest works to keep me warm without compromising infection prevention! It's a thick polyester shell so waterproof, which you need if you're a healthcare provider. It has 2 inner secret pockets. It has space to get it embroidered. It's perfect. I am 5'1", 123lb, 30DD and small is roomy but comfortable. An x-small would fit as well, more on the fitted side.

I am 5’10” size 16. I ordered an XXL and couldn’t be happier with the vest. Truth be told I’d love an inside pocket for my phone but not a deal breaker. The fabric is substantial but not stiff and I love that the bottom and neck are able to tighten in the wind. The inside fleece lining is very soft. Two things that made me really love this vest is that it’s cut is shaped but not tight and the shoulders are rounded at the top so as not to stick straight out like military epaulets. I think this is a terrific purchase for a very basic but necessary garment in the Pacific Northwest.

I normally wear a S (I'm 5'5", 125lbs) but some reviews said it runs small so I ordered a S blue, a M dark grey, and a S rose. The blue and grey were too big (I'm returning them) but the rose is a completely different cut & style, more true to size but runs slightly small. It's got a logo on the front, a vertical zipper on the chest, has smaller arm holes, and is about 1-1/2" longer than the other 2. It doesn't have the toggle features that customize the fit. I love the color and am going to keep it. I reordered an XS in the blue and it fits great. The quality of the 2 I'm keeping is very good and the fit is flattering. I'd prefer a shorter length, esp in the rose style, but I still like them. In the questions section there was mention of the vertical pocket in the rose and the black but no mention of that being a totally different cut and the photos don't show that style in any color. Just beware that the rose (and probably the black) runs a tad small but the other style (all the other colors) runs big.

This vest is the best. I am a size 12 jean and a 38H bra size and the XL was a perfect size for me. I really like that the outside of the vest is made with windbreaker material instead of fleece so my hair doesn’t become full of static electricity and stick to me. Another bonus is the flattering shape of the vest and the warm fleece inside, I definitely recommend this vest!

This has become one of my favorite things to wear! Fits perfect, slightly stretchy, deep pockets and I believe it’s flattering for a big girl (2x). This is light weight enough to wear year round in the south and you can add a thicker under shirt for the colder days.

I love the color! The vest is a great quality and has everything I was looking for in preparation of my trip to Ecuador. The weather will vary from warm to cool and I wanted something that would keep my torso warm and hopefully avoid the need for a jacket. Inside pockets offer security to carry passport, phone and essentials. Outside pockets are great for keeping hands warm. Its a wearable purse and an umbrella for the body.

Nice finish and more dressy than most vests. I ordered a medium and should have gotten a large.

1) We have dogs. My fleece vests are COVERED within 5 minutes of my using a lint roller.2) I'm stout (5'8" with 40# waist and 50# bust), but I have muscular chest/arms. The XXL is snug on me, but I can work outdoors in it.3) I live the SE USA. This is not 'lightweight' to me. I'll be wearing it when the temps are below 50 or so.4) The army green color was really hard to find. The other greens out there tend to be lime or pastel -- that's NOT me.This is a well-made vest!
