Garbage.
The zipper wouldn’t work even to try it on! Smartpak brand quality continues to disappoint.
Just spend the extra money to buy a quality brand…

Great all purpose vest
I bought the Piper vest in black size M for layering over sweaters and under coat for barn and riding. It's so nice looking I wear it with all my sports wear and get lots of compliments. Easy cleaning. Lots of arm hole space

Would return if I could.
I am very disappointed with this vest. I got it to keep me warm on the winter days but it does nothing to keep you warm. The filler is so thin its like a shirt material, and it does nothing to keep you insalated. It has scratchy wool on the collar and pockets, if you are sensitive to touch like me it makes me cringe every time it rubs across my skin. I would return if I didn't get it so dirty, I was expecting better quality for the price tag (80$) and from Smartpak.

Only downside is the plastic zipper
I have been wearing this vest for about a month. It is just the right amount of warmth for those cool days but definitely not heavyweight. The color is like a dark seafoam green. The pockets have a zipper which is also nice feature. My main concern is the plastic main double zipper. It is very difficult to connect (takes multiple tries) and is starting to fray at the bottom, usually a sign that a zipper won't last. I did decide to keep the vest and keep the zipper engaged (i.e. pull the vest over my head).

Zipper is too hard to use
I love the vest. It felt well made and cozy. The two way zipper is really hard to use. I returned the vest as I was frustrated just trying to the vest at home was a difficult task.

Great fit!
I bought the blue plaid vest and am very pleased with the fit and warmth. First off, it is so difficult to find a dual zipper vest so when I saw it had this feature, I immediately bought it! The dual zipper makes it easier to fit when sitting in the saddle. I paired this with the Piper Winter baselayer 3/4 zip shirt. The combination makes for a very warm and comfortable ride during the cold. The vest has a snug fit but I consider it true to size. I like that the pockets are zippered, lined, and deep. Another feature I appreciate is that the collar is fleece-lined as well. I will be ordering more colors in this style!

Enjoy the double zipper feature and high neck for the extra warmth.

Really Great Vest
Bought about a month ago and it is toasty in Northern Illinois. I'm 5'7 and about 152 #s got a large and it is roomy enough for a base layer and a fleece second layer. Well made, love the snap pockets and double zip. If I had a medium it would be more form fitting put not as easy to layer.
