Reviews

After a truck fire and

"After a truck fire and not receiving my parcel, Australian post advised me to contact Kathmandu. People at Kathmandu are just terrific. Received my vest a few days later and yes fits beautifully. My husband recons an operation is needed because l don’t stop wearing it. So light and so warm. Thank you"

— Sara K. (5/5)

Winter staple

"Love this vest. Light weight and fits easily over a sweatshirt and under my full puffer jacket when it's extra cold. I did have to swap size M that I ordered for S as it was too big for me. I am 172cm tall with small upper body."

— Jasmine W. (5/5)

I'm living in this vest now . . .

"Originally, I ordered this vest and a fleece vest in size L, but the size L was too big to be warm. I wanted it to fit snug but not tight. I wear a size 12 in other Kathmandu clothing, so I thought a large would be the right size. My lucky friend now has two vests in size large."

— Linda M. (5/5)

Goes over everything

"Use this almost daily, goes over hoodies, sweaters, you name it. Use it at times to cover my babies spills on my shirts. All in all, perfect for the little extra layer. Light but warm"
