Women's Fire Hose Berber-lined Vest

I'm 5'2", size 12, and followed the sizing guide provided...the Medium is perfect. I need a vest versus a jacket/coat to use my arms freely. I have many vests (including Carhardtt, Columbia, etc.) but this vest is my favorite! I live in So. Cal. but the winter/spring night & early morning temps. are cool/cold and this vest serves it's purpose..taking it on a trip to the Pacific Northwest in a few weeks. Does not disappoint.

This is such a cozy and rugged vest. I love wearing it over the longtail tees.

This is a great vest to wear over a sweatshirt or sweater, or under my rain gear when walking my dog.

My son has the men's version of this vest. After repeatedly stealing his, I decided to order my own. I am right on the size line between a women's medium and a large. Ordered a large (way too big) then re-ordered a medium (the size I normally wear in Duluth women's shirts)and it fit perfectly. I can layer long underwear, shirt and sweatshirt under this and stay very warm. The vest is really warm without being bulky. I ride horses and cannot stand anything that restricts my movement. I wear this vest to ride, clean stalls, feed, etc. and love it in all situations. Can't say enough good things about this vest.

I ordered this because I am helping in a machine shop and needed something that didn't have flaps and velcro and loose pockets to catch on things. I also needed extra core warmth and a fabric that shakes off sawdust and metal filings. This vest fits me well (a medium on a size-12 frame) and is definitely dirt-and-dust resistant. Love the rust color. It is not quite as warm as I wanted (the length helps though), and the zipper doesn't start smoothly. But overall a winner.

A form fitting look is great in evening wear, but in outdoor hiking gear, not so much! This vest has pinched waist and darts for chesty, ample-chested women. Not a good look for petites like myself.

We keep our house cool in winter -- 60-65 degrees -- and this vest is the perfect addition over a sweater to warm my back, shoulders, and neck during inactivity.
Outside, I wear it under a windbreaker or heavier jacket or coat, and it is very warm.
This is my second one -- I already had one in brick and liked it very much -- I always wanted one in blue and was pleased when it was on sale.
This one DOES have a slight flaw, unfortunately: There's a slight bend in the straight metal-piece that inserts into the zipper-pull, so it's more difficult to get the zipper started.

When I saw this vest I hoped it would fit. I checked out the sizing chart and ordered. I am completly thrilled that the sizing chart and the vest are right on. The cut is very feminine and stylish and durable. So happy, I have ordered a second one.
