I know right away the poncho won't work for me... which suggests I'm being sucked in here by a love of puffers... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1315363 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 16:03:59 +0000 crutcher 1315363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I can't get the link to post, look on Nordstrom, Sam Edelman, Packable Poncho and see how you respond to that one...<br />I like the puffer vest as a ecentric piece...as a practical piece of wear,,,not so much...<br />(Sorry I couldn't get the link to work...smile) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1315341 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 15:18:10 +0000 rachylou 1315341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, lari. You made me laugh. It's as Angie says, I run cold cold cold and a vest is just totally useless to me. You're right. It's just that it seems so wrong to be sitting in the office in a full puffer to the knees at High Summer... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314881 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 00:41:24 +0000 lari 1314881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>honestly, I am confused by this piece. I thought you wanted and needed a jacket rachylou.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314849 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 00:01:01 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1314849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look and, while it may not be for the dead of Winter, I would imagine with a sweater underneath it could get you close. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314820 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 23:37:27 +0000 Angie 1314820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be clear, it's not that I don't like the piece. I think it LOOKS fab. It's a pointless piece if you run cold - which Rachy does. She rivals me. Down vests for people like us are useless items of clothing. They work well for Greg though - who has a killer one from Theory. He runs much warmer than I do.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314805 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 23:16:47 +0000 Nicole D 1314805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it for some reason. &nbsp;I wasn't thinking puffer vest so much as short sleeved sweater. &nbsp;The way it is styled takes the sportiness/gearness out of it for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314787 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:59:13 +0000 rachylou 1314787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mm. Strong clear feelings on this one, I see. Lol. I'm the only vague one on the matter? Lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314724 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 21:40:45 +0000 Astrid 1314724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmh - no. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314719 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 21:37:19 +0000 viva 1314719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I reacted very emotionally to this item -- like, OMG, gorgeous, Audrey Hepburn meets Northface! That neckline!!! I LOVE IT. SO SO COOL. </p> <p>I would not buy this for any practical reason. (I could not wear this like a down vest, because I would want it to be so fitted I could not put a thick sweater under it). </p> <p>But, what if I just had $600 sitting around and wanted a cool down-vest / not-down-vest sort of thing? Then, yeah!&nbsp; </p> <p>So, no, I don't think it would solve all of your problems, but it could be pretty sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314643 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 19:50:40 +0000 CocoLion 1314643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love it! &nbsp;I think the whole POINT is that it's a down vest alternative. &nbsp;The down vest is predictable. &nbsp;This = so cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314635 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 19:47:01 +0000 unfrumped 1314635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's pointless, but I find myself thinking it looks kind of fun, too.<br />As in, I&nbsp; might wear this outfit. But mainly how it's shown, very fitted (for puffer stuff) over a lightweight top, and kind of&nbsp;sportyfied -classic &nbsp;(hence pointless in the sense it's a kind of one-outfit thing, and an indoor, not outdoor, item). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314633 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 19:43:49 +0000 rachylou 1314633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn between the comedy and wisdom buttons, <b>Angie</b>. Because sometimes truth is funny :D</p> <p>I do like that vest, <b>Diana.</b> I'm intrigued by the idea of quilted tweeds... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314579 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 18:40:41 +0000 ironkurtin 1314579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend of mine purchased a jacket like this, plus the puffy shorts that went with it.&nbsp; He looks like he went swimming and his clothing shrunk.&nbsp; It's bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314567 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 18:19:30 +0000 Gigi 1314567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Rabbit,&nbsp;</b>OMG! I immediately thought of Marty McFly too. Hilarious!</p> <p>I agree with the others that unless this is just going to be a fun, for-show piece and not needed to provide necessary warmth, it's best to let it go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314536 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:34:45 +0000 Keturah 1314536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you run cold, this is pointless. better to invest in silk or wool long underwear to layer with :)&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Since you don't currently wear the vests you own, this is also pointless. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>I say pass.

This is the equivalent of a vest, and I don't wear the two that I have. </p> <p>I used to, when I cashiered at the grocery. I had a uniform of long sleeve tee / thermal, short sleeve tee over, and over that: puffer vest</p> <p>Lol. Let it never be said there was ever a time I didn't wear puffers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314506 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:11:18 +0000 rabbit 1314506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's the same as a puffer vest, but only if you can still fit the same layers you would for a sleeveless vest under it and move your arms. &nbsp; Like if you are trying to wear a denim jacket under it (a la Marty McFly) or a sweater or something, would it still work or would you be unable to raise your arms. &nbsp; Also would you look like a linebacker? (Actually you probably wouldn't). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314494 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:04:15 +0000 cciele 1314494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really dig that! And yeah, I was thinking it would serve as a funky alternative to a vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314489 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 16:59:08 +0000 rae 1314489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a such thing as puffer vests; this seems the same as a vest to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314476 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 16:49:41 +0000 JAileen 1314476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't this sort of like wearing a down vest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314474 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 16:47:58 +0000 Diana 1314474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, do your arms get cold?&nbsp; Would you wear it with another jacket over it?</p> <p>I see it as kind of a trendier version of the ubiquitous north face down vest.&nbsp; I could see it being useful in, like, an indoor situation where you need full range of arm movement.&nbsp; I don't wear puffers, but it could actually work for someone who works in an overly air-conditioned lab, for example.&nbsp; I can't wear actual coats indoors because I can't move my arms and the long sleeves get in things.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-pointless-or-just-what-i-need#post-1314473 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 16:47:00 +0000 kellygirl 1314473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol! If you are going to need a puffer, don't you need sleeves too? Is this an indoor piece? If so, I'd rather have a vest, me thinks.
