Very nice, but thight
Its a very nice product, perfect for the autumn in Sweden. The only thing negative is that it's very thight. I usually use L, sometimes XL if i want to be loose. But this one, XL, is very thight.Show full review -

Great
Probably my favorite Isadore apparel piece. I wasn’t sure if it would be a good purchase, so my expectations were low—but it completely blew me away. Polartec Alpha is simply amazing: breathable when you need it, and wind/cold-proof when you need it. At 182 cm and 90 kg, XL fits snugly. Paired with a long-sleeve jersey, it keeps you comfortable even in slightly above-zero temperatures. One thing I didn’t see mentioned anywhere: it’s very packable.Show full review -

awesome insulated vest
I usually wear S sized tops from Isadore (185cm / 81kg) , this is an M and it fits very snugly. The front insulated panel is not stretchy so keep that in mind, you might want to opt for a bigger size. I kept the M because I can still wear it without the vest being restrictive. Ideal in cold weather below 10C, keeps your core warm which is the most important. The two way zipper is very handy and the pocket is a great addition.Show full review -

Super vesta
Vesta je veľmi príjemná a teplá, som veľmi spokojný. Akurát je trochu menšia ako by som čakal, je dosť tesná, čo je OK, ale pod ňou sa do vreciek nič nezmestí, ale vesta má svoje tak to nevadí, ale vrecká sú dosť vysoko a teda sú ťažšie prístupnéShow full review -

Dlho som hľadal skutočne dobrú vestu a konečne som ju našiel. Spĺňa všetky moje očakávania. Krásny štýlový kúsok do šatníka. Budem ju využívať aj pri iných aktivitách ako beh a skialpinizmus.Show full review -

Perfect
Was hesitating between this and the classic wind vest. Went for this one and zero regret, takes only a tiny bit more space when folded away but provides way greater thermal and wind insulation (had another wind vest before), perfect for climbing in the winter or when the temperature is changing during the ride. Paired with the Alternative LS baselayer and Light LS jersey, I can go to 5°C no problemShow full review -

Great product, but too short on the back side
In cold weather conditions below 12 degrees I opt for this piece with a thicker winter jersey. The torso is kept warm, pockets are spacious for additional jacket, tools and some snack. I am quite short 1.7m and size M fits perfect, S was too short for me. The only one exception I have is the length of the vest on the back side. Even the bigger size M is too short and does not protect lower back properly. Additional 10cm and the product would be exceptional.Show full review -

Exceptional
I bought this on a whim, being a big brand fan. Exceptional fit (175lbs, 6'1, S) and warmth. Also a stylish piece with a racy, on-bike fit that I've reached for over and over in the Alps. Very cool kit.Show full review -

Alternative Insulated Vest, EXCEPTIONAL!
