LONGKINGWomen's Vest - Stand Collar Lightweight Zip Quilted Vest for Women…

I wear a couple of different "hats" for Mizzou Athletics, mostly outdoor positions during various game days. I decided a vest would make a welcome layer and after looking around picked this one. In part, because it was offered on Vine, at a discount, for me to try out. Even without the Vine offer, it was one of the lower priced vests I was looking at. I do not feel the need to look any further.This is a pretty basic vest. It is a basic rip-stop sort of nylon shell - like most puffer coats have. It is *not* a softshell and has no "give" to it. It has some poly-fill in it (not down) which varies in thickness from one area to the next. The front panel has the most/thickest padding. The back, at the neck and across the shoulders there, is the next heaviest with the rest of the back being only lightly padded. The under-arm side-panels have no padding. The arm-holes are elasticized for a better fit. Side pockets (zippered - the buttons are only for show) are a perfect size for hands or for a awkwardly tall but thin Samsung phone.The gun-metal/antiqued silver? colored hardware is very basic, but functions well.I sprinkled some water on the the shell and it sat there until it evaporated - so there is *some* water resistance there at least. I've worn it out a couple of times and the wind is definitely broken by it. If I had to guess, I think most people would be comfortable down to about 25F in this vest, with proper layers beneath, of course.I like that it is slim-fitting enough that I can wear it under my work coat and not feel like I am too bulky.I am 5ft 7in and 175#, and have a bust of 42in (very full B cup), waist is 37in, hips are 44in and I have long arms, broad shoulders, "thick" biceps and a long torso - I typically wear a L-XL top, in major US brands.The Large in this vest was actually on the cusp of being too large. I have plenty of room for a sweater and another layer beneath that but I am almost certain that a medium will not fit at all. I have the most room in the bust - remember, I have smaller boobs. I think that maybe a D could fit in this, if the D were of the same, approximate measurements as I am. Anything larger and it *might* become indecent.While I like this vest, don't think this is equivalent to a $100+ down vest because it isn't. But for the $22.99 they want for the most expensive variant of this vest, I am *very* satisfied. And would be comfortable re-buying this or recommending it to others.

What I like best about the LK Padded Vest is that it has a tailored look. My vests in the past have had a boxy look with squared off shoulders, gaps around the arm holes, and lack of a discernible waist. The pictures I took show the tucked arm holes and shaped waist. The anthracite hardware is also an elegant touch. The LK vest looks more expensive than its price.Although the vest fits perfectly around my chest and waist, it is snugger around the caboose because I am pear-shaped. If your weight is mostly around your hips and you are between sizes, order the larger side.It is only slightly padded, so it is perfect for winter in Southern California. It does not make me look like a big puffer fish either. I am still satisfied with it and am ordering another one in deep red.Hope this information has helped you in making a decision.

I got the LK Women’s Padded Vest in a size Medium in the color green, and absolutely love it! It fits very true to size, if you are wanting a more fitted vest, I would say order to your smaller size, if you want a more loose fitting vest order up to the higher size. I ordered true to size with a Medium, and it gives plenty of space to wear a looser long sleeve shirt and tank top under the vest, and still zip it up, without being completely sucked in and cant breathe... I still have plenty of wiggle room. I absolutely LOVE the green color, very fall even winter color, and goes with so many different styles! I am not really vest person, but this is one I will get a lot of wear out of! It’s not extremely thin, but no where near a marshmallow jacket, just enough to give that little bit of added warmth, and still look really cute! Love this vest and highly recommend it to others!

I'm 6 1, 185 lbs 42in bust, 17.5in shoulders. I purchased the large 1st. It fit so good except around the gut, 35in around. Sent it back and got the XL so I can layer. I got the Brown to match with several jackets and a couple of outfits. This vest is not like the packable kind, it has a lot more structure and weight. Yes there are faux pocket flaps that do nothing, but what I haven't read in any of the reviews is the color coordinated finish of all of the metal elements. Brown Chrome! Its Gorgeous.I've paired this with pants, dress pants, jeans, and leggings and have gotten a lot of compliments from each, but the Leggings combo gets the most by far. Put on a off white to white sweater or long sleeved shirt and you can't go wrong. Now that I've written this review, I'm going to get Large in a different color. It did seem to help flatten out my mid section and for $20, I can maybe get TWO! Love this vest. Super cute!!!

I love this vest so much because it actually fits perfect, doesnt squeeze my chest and the collar doesn't come up so high that its hitting my jaw line and driving me nuts every time i move my head. Its pretty thin though so its more for fashion than function. The pockets are real, but the flap with the button is fake and sewed down which is kind of weird. Im not a fan of fake details in clothing but ill let it slide because the rest of the vest is perfect, and ive been searching for a nice vest that fits right and doesnt have an awkwardly high collar..and this is it. For reference i am 5'4", 150lbs, 36C cup (i find this to be important with vests because many of them squish in that area, this one does not). I ordered a medium and it is a perfect fit. Definitely recommend

After reading several reviews I’m very pleased to have my own experience with this vest. It was exactly what I was looking for and the perfect tone between burgundy and dark red. Medium is a perfect fit for my size 5’5” 140 pounds. I wasn’t looking for a heavy vest. So This is it! ❤️

I ordered it in size XL as I am size 14 & have had to return other clothing for wrong sizing. I laundered it in our washer on cold and hung it to dry. It came out perfect. Look forward to wearing it often as the cooler weather is coming.

I like the vest but my fault as it is a bit tight. I usually take a medium but the vest was a bit tight. I can still wear it if I leave the zipper open.

It’s light weight, suitable to wear under a jacket or on its own with a garment underneath. I like the color, it’s a dark green emerald or dark green forest. It’s fitted not boxy. Fits nicely.

Comfortable and stylish

Diese Weste passt natürlich zu allen Farben, allerdings ist sie in XL (Größe 44/46) im Schulterbereich für mich 1,68 m, 80 kg, zu eng. Das Größenformat könnte an zierliche Asiaten angepasst sein. Schade, geht aber zurück.
