Nothing like the best
A rugged vest with great style.Took a year to get used to the price (and buy), but worth it. Great vest.

warm and comfortable
This vest fits snugly so the windstopper can do its job, but it's got enough stretch that I can bike in it without feeling constrained. The material is a bit stiff around the collar so I find myself unzipping it and folding the collar down when relaxing at home and reading, which is a bit less comfortable than a down vest would feel, but I don't mind the trade-off for the excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and the fact than it turns back Fall Chicago winds easily. I find it stylish, too, and I'd recommend it for anyone who wants a vest for walking in a windy, chilly climate or bike-commuting in the fall and spring.
