Superb

I've been buying down clothes since 1968 and this is the best down vest I've ever had. If I need more down items Feathered Friends is where I will buy them!

Vest review

Have not received a vest to review. Communication on status of order, tracking info etc. could be far better. Also, I do not believe it ethically appropriate to bill for product which has not been shipped.

Versatile and very warm

I just purchased a new Helios vest to replace one I had for 15 years that our dog ripped into. Almost can't live without this piece. I put it through the paces for work and recreation-wildland fire, car camping, ski hut trips, around town, hiking. I've often used it as a pillow when backpacking by taking a longish, tubular, ultralight stuff sack-works great and cradles the head nicely. I know I'll be comfortable no matter how cold it gets when I have this with me.

Mostly love it

First of all, it was really hard to decide what color to get. They are all beautiful. I gave my blue one to my son and chose plum in a smaller size this time. I like it a lot, but I still don't like the zipper all that much compared to the old style that's on the blue one. Otherwise, it's great. I'm wearing it now.
