The Phantom Vest was everything advertised - light, warm, and compressable. I followed the sizing chart, but unfortunately, it ended up being too small, and I found the arm holes in particular to be too restrictive. Unfortunately, by the time I tried to exchange it, the next size up was unavailable.

I had to return this since my husband is very picky. We thought the sapphire sounded like a good color but what arrived was navy and he does not like navy. Also the chest was a bit ttight for a medium which was a surprise.

You get what you pay for

By The Paddler

from San Jose, CA on 1/20/2006

Pros:

Compact, Lightweight, Tough

Best Uses:

Backpacking, Car Camping, Day trip, Hiking

This is a super lightweight, versatile, and warm vest. Its uses are unlimited. I throw it on in the morning when it's 50 degrees in my house, and I wear it under a shell if I'm hiking or skiing, or I even wear it to work!

I'm 5'10" with an athletic build, and a size M is just right (a little snug under the armpit w/ a base layer underneath).
