I actually like that this is a lightweight vest with very little bulk to it. But, it isn't what I was expecting it to be. It will be good for spring, summer and early Fall but I was expecting it to be a bit heavier.  It doesn't have the traditional "heft" of a Carhartt product. Which is positive and negative. The positive is that even my wife has said "I really like the cut of that. It's really nice." Typically anything I buy Carhartt she thinks makes me look like a construction worker. This vest could easily have a Columbia, REI or Patagonia logo on it and nobody would think twice. The negative is that it is light and I question if it will hold up as well as the typical Carhartt products and their heavy, durable weight. Time will tell. But, I really like it anyway.
