Reviews

Excellent product

"I absolutely love the vest, perfect fit and perfect for what I purchased it for. I am very disappointed with Kathmandu however. Since purchase I have raised 2 calls with them in regard to the fact the carry bag, which is shown in the photos online as part of the purchase is missing. 1st Mesage was on 3 May (ticket # 664252), 2nd message was on 22 May (Ticket #669428) and I have received no reply to either call I have logged. I just want to know how I can get the carry bag that was not delivered with the product. As much as I love everything I have purchased from Kathmandu I cannot continue to support a company that forgets you after they have got your money."

Right size nice

"This was for my boss so far he likes it hasn't said otherwise as has other Kathmandu vests but needed new ones"

— Tim L. (5/5)

Too big

"I ordered an XS one but it was too big, especially around the shoulder. It was noticeably bigger than another XS jacket I have from Kathmandu. I had to return it at a store, and I showed to the staff how much bigger this vest was compared to my other Kathmandu jacket. Gone also was my voucher because returning an item meant the voucher would be void"
