Husband love his new vest
"Husband love his new vest"
Not as warm as I
"Not as warm as I was hoping for, which has both pros and cons. It is suitable for high intensity activities such as cycling (additional layer for chest protection) in cold weather (single digit C), but you would probably need a shell on top if you are just walking around"
Very satisfied
"Nice, neat fit. Stylish colour and comfortable. Suitable for Mackay’s winters on most occasions. Sometimes wear over the top of a full-sleeved version, if very cold and windy. Kennif."
Not the same fit at the Jacket
"The vest looks great. I have a jacket in the same size, however the vest is a much tighter fit and uncomfortable to wear, which is disappointing."
