Incredible....
You think I like this product? You're right! I bought a black one for myself a couple of months ago....then I happened across the periwinkle blue ones, and bought TWO more for my friends. I had to restrain myself from buying a periwinkle one for me!!! This vest is just the right weight to throw on for these Oregon days when you need just a little bit extra. The cut is slimming and the length is perfect (especially for those of us who are long waisted). LOVE IT!!!

AWESOME vest
After looking for a light weight, yet warm vest for the Spring/Fall for over a year I have finally found it! The fit is a bit smaller than other retailers' Medium...but I find it to be form fitting, hitting me at he right place on the waist. WARMTH is not an issue--as this was perfect for a recent 55 degree day with a long sleeve t-shirt underneath. I've worn it also under a spring lightweight jacket as well...a nice combo for colder weather! Color is a bit more vibrant than my screen shows..but like it. Not part of that gross 80s neon trend that has returned (wish it hadn't)
Buy this jacket.

Nice vest but could use 2-way zipper
I bought this vest since I had the Mighty Lite II jacket and the Stormin Rain Jacket all in the same wonderful color. The vest runs pretty true to size. I got a L for the vest but the jacket I got an XL.
One thing I would change is make a 2-way zipper on it since when you sit down, the vest does not stretch so it becomes a bit snug in the hips. I do NOT find that to be true in the Jacket however the jacket was one size up. But the vest in the larger size for me was way too big in the bust and shoulders.
Columbia needs to get their women's sizing a bit more realistic. Armholes and cuts are skimppy on most stuff I get.
I am 5'9'' and normally wear a L or 12. I have to get larger sizes for jackets to fit in the armholes.
Color is great and as usual, they give you functional features like inner zip pocket.
however GIVE US 2-way zippers please !

This is a versatile vest.
I own two of these Columbia vests. They are warm, lightweight vests--surprisingly warm for their weight.

Sleak warm vest
Its like having the warmth of a puffy vest condensed down.
Its a little tight on a busty women, but I got it small to fit under other cloths

Excellent
Long enough in the body, thin enough to layer. Warm, fits lovely. Would highly recommend this product.

Mighty Lites Rule
I can't say enough about the Mighty Lite line. I have the jacket as well and love them both. Lightweight, no "puff" factor, but incredibly warm. The Omni-Heat does what it says, warmth without bulk.
I wear the vest in M and the jacket in L, because I don't like the restrictive feeling in the shoulders you sometimes get and I have long arms. The ML vest is a perfect length (I'm 5'8") to avoid that lower back draft...
This is a great layer for three of the four seasons in Montana. When/If it goes on sale, I'd consider getting another color or two.
Love it.

OmniHeat Vest
I love this lightweight vest and I love the bright red color. The fit is true. I use this for running errands, walking to work, or taking a quick hike in the foothills. Great vest for the money.

Very Cute
This is a great vest to wear to the gym & to run around in.

this product is perfect for NW weather
The vest is the perfect solution for outside days in the NW when it isn't raining. It is lightweight, warm and very functional. I love the color! It brightens up any dreary day.

Fantastic vest
I got this vest, a little uncertainly. The day it arrived, I put it on to show it off. I practically didn't take it off for the next week. It's warm enough for brief times outside without a coat and it layers well, too. It took me several days to realize that it had fun, subtle stripes on it--a nice touch. I got the "adriatic" and it's a beautiful purpley-blue color.

Wear It Everywhere
All I can say is that I practically live in this vest. It 's very practical and flattering. I'm short, and it fits me well without making me look as wide as I am high. I splurged on this, but it has been worth the money. I want another one in another color eventually.

Very happy with mine.
Especially like the flattering stitching, the strong color and the fit. It is warm and attractive. Buyers should expect the silver foil interior to show a bit and be sure you are OK with the look. Very happy with mine.

Black Vest
This vest fits well and keeps me warm. I was a little disappointed that the reflective interior is visible at the color. This is a vest I wanted to wear day to day but that feature is deterring me. I will most likely use this only for activities outdoors when insulation is needed, not as a day to day part of my wardrobe.

Size
Remember there is a difference in women's and men's builds. Add an inch or so to the waist.

Toasty vest
My typical complaint about woman's cloths is that looks win out over functionality. Nice fit but not with anything in the pockets. My hands just barely fit. Will always have to take a pack for anything else other than the chest pocket is big enough for a cell phone. I can slip a camera in the hand pockets but then there is no home for my cold hands. I would like a little fuzz around the chin, but otherwise it looks nice, seems to wear well and is nice and toasty for something this thin.

warm and light
I bought this because I liked the red color and the price was reasonable. I was pleased that it kept me warm even though it's light weight. The omni-heat stuff really works! Also liked that it has zip pockets with soft lining inside. Runs true to size. I'm 5'9 and usually wear a size 6 and the medium fit well and still flattered by figure.

Microwave
Love this vest; I call it my microwave.

Great Vest
I just love the vest, I wore it when it was in the low 30's and I was warm.

Happy in Ohio
I just got this vest and wore it for the first time. I cannot believe how warm this thin vest is with the Omni-Heat lining. Already planning to purchase it in another color.

warm and not puffy!
Being between a small and medium (size 6 or 8), I went with the small. Great fit over a shirt and for layering under a jacket, but won't work to wear over a bulky sweatshirt or sweater (if you want that, I would get the next size up). Love that it is warm and lightweight. I got the Imperial Blue and it is beautiful...I get lots of compliments on the color.

Good layering vest
I have not worn this vest yet, I purchased it to wear at my son's youth night football games!
