Love this vest for many reasons.  Its not bulky.  The zippers are easy and sturdy.  This is important when outside in the cold and rearranging layers.  The pockets are perfectly placed and easy to open/close.  The front zipper is a reversible zipper, it could be worn inside out, if you removed the back tags, but with no pockets on the outside.

Size wise, Im 53 a 12/14 and got a large.  Fit is as expected, maybe a tad on the larger size. Ive worn it over a fleece and a light windbreaker and it fits fine and adds that extra needed warmth for 20-30 degree runs and walks.  It is only slightly curved for a woman fit, less so than other womens jackets I have like my North Face.

Great addition to my outer wear, versatile, lightweight, well-constructed, and warm.
