Super light and warm for the core of your body. Already have wore several times. Great item to pack when space is limited

Love this vest! Packable, warm and great for layering.

Cozy warm

The Kelvin Aerolite Vest is a multi-use piece that I rarely leave at home when the mercury drops. Perfect for layering in any outdoor-related activity and keeps me cozy and warm at the office when the boss is using the thermostat to pinch pennies. Medium is a perfect fit.

Unbelievably Warm!

Sitka did it again with this vest! It's hard to believe a vest this light weight and packable can keep you so warm but it does! This vest under the Jet stream jacket has kept me warm in extremely cold and windy weather. This vest is worth the investment!

Love this vest. It fits great and looks stylish.

I have barely taken this

I have barely taken this vest off since it arrived a month ago. It’s lightweight, extremely well fitted (and I’m a stalky roundish fella), and it’s insanely packable. You can was it up and stuff it in your hip pocket. This vest has turned my entire attention toward Sitka.

Perfect for day to day or beginning of hunting season

I bought this for my boyfriend and he wears it constantly. It’s the perfect vest for all seasons and really good for layering

Kelvin aerolite vest

This is my second Kelvin’s vest, sadly after 13 years I finally wore the first one out!! Zipper. So I contacted Sitka to see if they could repair the zipper, they did one better, they sent me a new vest at no charge.You get what you pay for.Thanks Sitka for being you. Amazing customer service.

Usually this type of material is very crunchy and loud but is surprisingly quiet. keeps the wind off great and traps heat very well

Love it for a layering type piece just because it runs kinda small on me

Awesome, lead color looks great. Tried the large and was a decent amount smaller so I went with the xl.

Fits really well, but a little tight around the arms.

Very Warm, Packable

This is a very nice vest, like everything else Sitka it runs small, I knew this so I order one size larger.

Great vest

Great lightweight vest. I already have a camo version, and am excited to have one in black for everyday use. I do wish Sitka had a med-large size.

Good Vest

I like the vest; however, the elastic in the arm pit area is tight and after a while becomes uncomfortable. Vest is very warm, and I still wear the vest when needed; however, if you fix the arm elastic issue the vest would have been rated 5 stars.

Banger

Best vest. Dress it up or wear it for shear warmth. It’s perfect

Love the vest

Great vest

Vest is warm and fits great. Exactly what I was looking for.

Great mid weather layer

Was looking for an extra layer to fit inside my waders. This was perfect. Thin, flexible, and warm for mid season.

Amazing vest

It is so light and pack able and it blocks the wind!

Great product

True to Sitka perfect quality, fits great and warm during a falling morning. The only thing I would change, make the collar a touch shorter. Very nice vest by a great company.

Very nice and warm. Crazy expensive but warm

Great Vest

One of the best’s vest out. Keeps me warm during duck season.

Poor insulation

I bought this hoping to add a great insulation layer will little bulk. I wear it over the core layers and under the main jacket. I've used it for a spot and stalk mule deer hunt in the upper 20s and while sitting in the stand for whitetails in the low 30s. I like its low bulk low weight design, but for a synthetic down alternative I was expecting more in terms of warmth. It is extremely thin and feels almost like there is no insulation in it at all. If you're looking for a lightweight core layer to help fight off the chill while glassing or sitting in the stand then this vest just won't cut it. For the price, it's not worth it. If I bought another one I would not spend more than $20.

Nice vest

I used this piece of gear under my Mountain jacket this past season on a couple of cold mornings before starting my trek. It kept me warm and it was easy to stow in my pack. I did order a medium and it is a little snug, but I works for how I had planned to use it. I’m 5’ 8” and 165 lbs. with an athletic build, if that helps anyone.

Awesome vest

The weight to warmth ratio of this vest is outstanding. I have solid colors that I wear to work and around town as well as camo versions in the field.

Somewhat Skeptical-4 Stars for now

At 5’5 165lbs bought a large. Fits well for layering over my base and under my Traverse cold weather hoody. Skeptical on such thin insulation but time will tell. Unfortunately I won’t know until Fall but it will be too late to turn back then! (For the money, a little thicker couldn’t hurt :)

the warmth this vest provided

the warmth this vest provided was incredible for how thin it was. Was very impressed. Not to mention how light weight and packable! Highly recommend

Great lightweight vest for in

Great lightweight vest for in the field. Sizing on vests do fit smaller. Eg I am a xl jacket and a xxl vest.

Amazing vest, very warm but

Amazing vest, very warm but breathable and quieter!

I have a variety of

I have a variety of vests, for layering and warmth this is the best there is. Extremely packable and lightweight.

I have this vest in

I have this vest in green. I’m happy with the look, feel, fit, and function this has. It’s lighter and thinner than I anticipated. I think I may have gotten a dud in terms of its DWR. The back repels water like DWR should, but the front doesn’t even try to repel water it soaks it up as soon as it’s introduced to moisture leaving me wonder if this is a quality control issue.

I had an earlier version

I had an earlier version of this vest that I loved and it got lost in mailing while be repaired. Sitka gear did right by replacing this with the newer version. it is lighter in weight and it is definitely not the same fit. it is much smaller in size. I was wearing a 2 XL on the old vest and unfortunately I can't even order a 3 xl to get a better fit as that is not an option. I still like the vest but not as warm or comfortable as the older model.

Sizing is a little snug

Sizing is a little snug compared to the Aerolite jacket I have in the same size. Other than that it’s a fantastic vest. Incredibly light, warm and packable.
