This vest is gently warm
"This vest is gently warm without being too hot. It is a snug fit that is neat under other clothes. It also looks trim as a top layer. Great pockets outside and inside. The zip is very easy to connect and zip up or down. It’s especially appreciated because it keeps my sore arthritic spine and neck warm and reduces pain from tight muscles."
Haven’t received it!
"Can’t review it as I haven’t received any shipping notice or delivery of this! Thought it was taking a very long time. Can you please look into it?"
Women's heli R Down Vest
"The vest is reasonably thin to what I read on line in description. It's great for packing into a suitcase as it's lightweight. It will be suitable for when the autumn days but not for mid winter months in Tasmania"

Average product
"I have bought many Kathmandu items before but unfortunately this vest is not of the same calibre. The sizing is very small and the fill and cuddle factor non existent. It is well made, hence 3 stars, but not an item i’ll purchase again. Pleased I bought on sale as certainly not worth the full advertised retail price!!"
