This is a good, very lightweight vest.  I was a little surprised by how lightweight it is.  So, don't count on this for providing a lot of warmth.  It has some technical insulation, but it is still not very warm, so only count on it as an extra layer or on days where you barely need a vest.  It has two zipper pockets, which are good, but I'd like at least one more pocket - on the chest or inside.  The main zipper is a substantial looking one, but mine is not particularly smooth working.  Not crazy about this color, but it is as bright as the pictures show.  Says you can stow it in a pocket (either one?), so that could be a packing plus.
