"I also own the Access Down 2. 0 vest in a medium, which I love wearing around town. I bought this vest specifically for outdoor pursuits. I tend to be hard on my gear and didn’t want to risk ruining a vest I wear almost daily. This one is much thinner, but just as warm. I bought it in a large thinking it would accommodate extra layers when I’m in the mountains. I don’t think the size-up was necessary. Even with the extra fabric, it’s not excessive or cumbersome. It layers really well with a light weight or mid-weight jacket, or on its own with a base layer. Glad I bought. For reference, I’m 5’7”, 155 lbs athletic build with long arms, broad shoulders, and a short torso. It’s a bit long for me, but I don’t mind. I don’t like to feel restricted when I’m active. This vest helps me adapt to temp changes without putting on more restrictive layers and still moderate core temp nicely."
"Great warmth to weight ratio. Wish there were some brighter/more exciting colors."
"Black Diamond Women's Solution 2. 0 Vest is a perfect extra mid-layer to keep you warm on the ski slopes and is tailored nicely to go out for dinner. It is also my everyday go to layer around the house on chilly days."
"high quality underlayer. very warm for how light it is."
"Thin but warm and perfect for needing a layer without a bulky jacket. Great for casual and dinner out. Classic black, can't go wrong. Love Black diamond."
"Love this."
"The quality Black Diamond is known for comes through! Warm without the bulk. Quality fabrics (as usual). Can't go wrong with BD."
