Cozy fleece vest!!

I love this vest and it goes well with everything!! I love being able to layer and it’s been perfect so far. I found once I tried it on it’s a bit bigger & boxier fit of medium.

Love the fit, cheap zipper

Exactly slightly oversized/boxy, slightly cropped vest I was looking for! I considered getting the large to make sure I had room to wear layers underneath, but happy I went with my true size (medium). The material feels warm but is not bulky, so I can still comfortably layer it under jackets. The one drawback is the zipper, it does seem cheap and flimsy. I appreciate the attempt at the double zip, but it is difficult to unzip sometimes since the lower zipper falls off the track.

We're thrilled this vest delivered the slightly oversized, slightly cropped fit you were hoping for. It’s great to hear your true size struck the right balance for layering without adding bulk. We also appreciate your feedback on the double zipper design and your experience with the lower zipper track. Thanks for taking the time to share such thoughtful insights.

Polartec Fleece

Highly recommend. Warm instantly. I had purchased the full zip fleece but found it too large in the shoulders for my liking. I’m normally a M but ordered a S in the vest and it’s perfect. Colour is a muted brown (mahogany muse) and will be great as a slim layer under a jacket or on its own. Well made. Sits at my waist (5’4”).

Cheap Zipper

I agree with what others have said. The vest is warm and has a boxy, oversized fit which I like. The zipper is very cheap though and is hard to use. If you plan on zipping it up at all, I wouldn’t buy the vest.

We’re glad there’s plenty to love about the cozy, boxy feel, but hear you on the zipper feeling difficult to use and not matching the quality you expected. Thanks for calling out the detail that kept this vest from being a win.

Zipper feels cheap

Love love but zipper feels CHEAPCHEAP I hope it will hold up. I wanted an oversized look so I went with M and I’m happy with it. I do love the fit.

We're glad you're loving the fit of the lululemon Polartec 200 Series Fleece Vest, though we hear your concern that the zipper doesn't feel as premium as expected. When a detail like the zipper leaves you questioning long-term durability, it can take away from an otherwise great experience. We've noted your feedback.
