ColumbiaMen's Steens Mountain Vest

I wear this every cold day in my drafty old farmhouse

good product was what I expected

Well made, thick enough to be warm, good fit, comfortable.

I am 5.8, 190 lbs., 36 waist, and 43 chest. My dress shirts are 16" collars. Mostly everything I buy is large. I just got the medium in the Columbia fleece vest. I had bought one of these vest earlier at a retail store but bought medium because the large seemed too big, too loose. So I went with medium again, wondering if it would size the same way. It did.This vest is comfortable as a medium, and fits well, but because it's a medium it makes a little more aware of that that I need to lose a few pounds. But otherwise, I'm fine with it and who knows, I can probably use the reminder to lose weight.Overall, it's well made and is professional looking enough to use at work if the place feels a little too cool because of the air.

I didn't want to be a vest bro. I really didn't. But something happened to me that made nonconformity not an option. Now I stand faceless among the fall and spring time masses of white men in fleece vests. My persecutor isn't sinister, it's just that my shirts shrunk. I don't know if it's the style now or an over-zealous dryer, but mid-drift is not befitting the dad-bod. Rather than throw out my shirts or hike up my pants to high-waters, I closed the gap with a vest. And I became a vest bro.At least this vest is a good one. It fits well, seems durable and is priced reasonably. I would prefer one without a company logo but those are surprisingly difficult to find. I'd recommend it for any budget-minded aspiring vest bro or socially conscious dad-bod owner stuck in a world where men's clothing resembles women's clothing more and more each day.

I like to go hiking and I like my pits to be able to breath a little, so I have 4 of these vests. One from Dillard's, two from Columbia and the most recent one, from Amazon. They are all identical in terms of fit, quality and material used. I'm 5'11, 174 and medium fits great. They're quite warm for what they are, and even though the zippers are nylon, they're good quality and I haven't had any issues.

bought for my husband, he wears it everywhere instead of a coat which we do not always need in Texas. got the gray, and then also got him the black color later. great price and looks great on him!!
