Despite assurances about shipping in "one to three days," Warm Things is the worst mail order company I have ever dealt with. Their computer acknowledges your order, but they do not advise you whether or not they have shipped, do not respond to repeated e-mail requests for info, employees pick up the phone and hang up without answering; if you eventually do get through to someone, promises to return phone calls with info are not honored, and the "manager" responded to the fifth phone call only by saying "we have no way of checking whether your order was shipped, but there's nothing to worry about," when in fact eleven days after ordering and obtaining a Warm Things "order number" via e-mail, I am still unable to find out even whether the vest was ever shipped, back-ordered, or out of stock, let alone obtaining the usual UPS or USPS tracking number. Chaos reigns. Avoid them!

This vest will keep you warm and lookin' good. This vest is an excellent vintage pick up straight form 'The Deliverance'. This toasty little number comes with everything you need to keep warm except the three day hunting beard. Another plus, besides the goose down that'll heat up a can of beenie-weenies in your pocket faster than you can break your spoon out, is all the storage space in the pockets. There's nothing I like better than hunting all day and then looking sharp enough to go right out to enjoy a nice seafood dinner. This vest definitely gets an A+

I bought this as a gift for my husband. I have just sent it back. Here are his complaints. It is not thick enough, hence warm enough, he thinks. The fabric is not a "slippery" nylon, so it doesn't slide on and off as easily as his old vest. It is cut somewhat wide across the chest so it sort of binds his arms in front. The vest LOOKS good, and appears to be well made. It may actually be warmer than he expected. He didn't ever wear it, he only tried it on.

I have been looking for a vest like this on eBay for at least 1 year. Now I found exactly what I wanted on Amazon instead! What I love about this vest is that it has double front pockets (1 for my hands, another for stuff like flashlights that I carry) and that it is "cottony" rather than nylon. It is a beautiful dark black and I wear it everywhere. The company shipped immediately, and used Quantum View to do so. Obviously, tracking is not a problem. Thank you, Warm Things -- I will be ordering from you again!

I bought the WarmThings vest at their store in 1984. I am wearing it now, as i have most cold days here in Oakland, with the heat in the house turned off and the heater in my van broken. After countless machine washings the down is like new, with no bunching or loss of loft. i tore one pocket working in a machine shop; easily sewed it back on 10 years ago. The edges are frayed, the color faded, yet no loss of down. The YKK zipper works perfectly. I may wear this vest as long as i live, but today will buy another...for formal occasions.

I was hesitant to order this on line. My husband has lost a LOT of weight and is cold all the time. I wanted light weight but good quality. This turned out to be the perfect purchase. Best of all, my husband is now cozy, and warm. It makes a great run outside and work layer, to go over his hoodie. Great layer under his polartec jacket for colder activities. He loves it, the fit is perfect - I want one too! I especially like the 100% cotton outer shell - not shiny and slippery. This vest is comparable to similar products in sports stores that run $100 plus. Very pleased with my purchase, and would recommend this vest to anyone!

I live in Mexico and my sister who lives in Orlando was going to bring me the Alpine Goose Down Vest, but when she arrived with my "vest" I wasn't it, the send me something I didn't order a jacket to go to bed, I don't know but horrible and now I can't get my vest because I don't have anyone comming to mexico in the near future. I am VERY disappointed.
