Port Authority L325 Ladies Core Soft Shell Vest.

This is a great vest...gives you a little figure but best of all pet hair doesn't stick to it!

I love it. I ordered a large based on reviews. Fits great. I will be using it for running and over my scrubs. Very warm.

I'm really pleased with this streamlined, elegant-looking vest. I've got several of the plush Columbia vests, but wanted a black one that wasn't so bulky. This Port Authority vest is exactly and precisely what I was looking for.It's always a challenge (and crapshoot) to buy clothes online, without being able to try them on or even feel the fabric, but this vest worked out SUPER. It's got a polished cotton type outter material, with softer lining. The zip pockets are completely inobtrusive - there's nothing that bulges or sticks out at all, so the vest gives me a super slenderizing look. Plus it repels moisture if you happen to spill something on it. Just quickly wipe it off, and you'd never guess you'd gotten it wet at all.I've washed this, and it hangs dry to perfection, ready to wear again. Black is a color that can be worn with ANY other, so it gets a lot of use in my wardrobe. It can be layered with heavier wool tops in winter, or lightweight long or shot-sleeved tops in other seasons.

Love this best for work!

I wanted a microfiber vest to wear over my scrubs. Hospital workers are not supposed to wear any other kind of fleece. When I first looked for a vest, they all seemed rather expensive. This one was the right price. I usually wear a small, but had to get the medium in this. I would say that it runs quite small.

First off I want to say I own several Port Authority Women's Core Soft Shell Vests and just love them. I belong to two different Southern Calif. Yacht clubs and they carry the Port Authority brand of garments in their ships stores with their respective yacht club’s logo on them, so I’m very familiar with this brand and specifically this exact vest, (one of which I just purchased this Spring 2019 at LBYC). I love, love these vests and jackets, they wash and wear and still look brand new!I wanted the same vest but without any logo on it. So, I found it on Amazon, and ordered the Port Authority Women's Core Soft Shell Vest in Navy in a Women’s XL, Style L325 JUST like the ones I already own. I was so excited it was the same brand, size and even the exact style number, L325 as written on the inside tag of my vests. What could go wrong (even though I couldn’t try it on), it seemed like a no brainer right? Wrong! I just received it and at first it appeared to be exactly what I wanted, brand, size, color, material, finish, and same style number L325 on the inside tag. Yea! Right? Noooo, this vest fits like it should be marked a Medium or a Large at the very least. It is so, so tight especially across the bust (and I do not have a big bust). I thought this can’t be, so I double checked everything and all was as it should be except this one is way too small! I have no choice but to return it.I’m writing this review to make other buyers, the vendor, and Amazon aware of a possible size problem. As other reviewers noted this vest runs small and that’s a great heads up for new buyers, but I’m not new to Port Authority products and specifically this vest, so something else is wrong. Who wants to spend time finding what they want, ordering it, getting it, and then having the hassle and someone’s expense of returning it because the size is so way off. Clothing manufactures and sellers go to a lot of trouble to describe their respective sizing to mitigate these types of returns and not lose customers.This vest should have fit like all the others I own. I’m not sure what this means regarding the Port Authority products being sold by this vendor VeeTrends, or is this a Port Authority size chart problem in general? Is this vendor aware of the size/fit problem, are these miss-marked? Are other vendors experiencing the same issue and returns? Maybe Port Authority has changed something, (very recently) regarding their size chart? I’m not sure what to do, have it replaced with another XL and see if it fits properly or just return it and order it elsewhere? I shouldn’t have to order a XXL since I own 4 of these exact vests in XL that fit just fine. Also, as a side note, I ordered the EXACT same vest in Black at the same time I ordered this Navy vest and I thought they both were coming from Port Authority, or at least the same vendor. However, the black vest is shipping from a different vendor not VeeTrends for some reason, I did not pick the vendors, Amazon did, we will see how that one measures up to compare. To be continued….By the way, everything else regarding this purchase was great! Other than the size issue the vest was high quality, just as I expected and just like the ones I have. Delivery and packaging by the vendor was perfect and I would give all that 5+ stars.

I ordered up 2 sizes since I wanted to make sure it was roomy. Probably could have ordered up only 1 size but I am happy with my choice. I have been looking for a Navy blue vest with inside pockets for over 2 years now. I don't carry a purse, just my cell phone with drivers license and a couple credit cards so I wanted a vest with an inside pocket. My old navy vest with inside pockets faded and looked horrible. This one looks great!

Purchased this vest in every available color and could not be happier. First ran across this brand at the NFR in Vegas. This is a stylish, tailored fitting vest that can be dressed up or down. A great alternative to a jacket when the weather begins to cool off and an additional core layer under a down jacket when the snow begins to fly.The small size fits a 4 to 6 leaving room enough for a light weight turtle neck underneath. This vest has enough stretch to it that I even used it as an extra layer over my bike jersey for an October mountain biking trip to Tahoe. Can't beat the versatility of this vest.

I wanted a vest for the winter that would fit under jackets or that could look nice on its own. This one appealed because it wasn't polar fleece or puffy down. It is just what I had wanted. The material makes it slim and sleek. As other reviewers have noted, it does run small. I generally wear a size 4-6 and purchased a small. The vest is quite form fitting over a thin sweater. While I like the look of this tighter fit, it will not fit over multiple layers or a thick sweater.

I like the quality of the the product and the style but I ordered two different sizes and neither one of them fit.I ended it up giving the second vest to a friend because I did not wanted to pay for shipping to send it back.I payed 13 dollars the first time I send the vest back.
