Women's Helena Down Vest

I was so excited to see this style of nylon puffer with western yokes and real down fill for women--I was jealous of the men's down jacket last year so I bought this as soon as it came out. I absolutely love this vest. It's warm and has a great look. I've been wearing it on the cold mornings here in eastern Idaho and I know it's going to be a staple for this winter. It's also by far the most durable puffer I've ever owned. I pulled a bunch of old barbed wire off a fence in it and even when the barbs caught the fabric, it didn't snag or rip. Just looked it over and I can't even see a wisp of down poking through. I wouldn't say it runs particularly small, but if you want to wear it over a big bulky sweater, you might consider sizing up. I'm between a small and a medium and am glad I got the medium.

Returning this vest. It's too small. I always order Xtra large but apparently this item runs at least one size smaller. Also it came with a stain next to one of snaps.
