I wanted to love this vest. It runs big and long, which was a plus for me. The design is great. Comfortable and the right amount of warmth. The downside, it has a smell like a wet dog that I cannot get out of it. I thought it would go away after a couple washes and it has not.
Men's AKHG Blackburn Standard Fit Vest
Alaska’s microclimates already give weather reporters heartburn, but get close to Mount Blackburn – the Wrangell Mountains’ highest peak – and all bets are off. Glaciers, valleys, lakes and shifting winds mean a good set of layers is the only way to come prepared. Blackburn mid layers make the versatile, ready-for-anything core of the rest of your kit. That’s because they offer exceptional wicking and enough warmth to keep you comfortable under a heavy shell or on their own in daily bone-chilling weather. Channeled fleece on the inside holds heat, while the smooth face won’t catch on a shell or coat as you get ready. Layer up with yours and show the mountains what Blackburn is all about.
- Excellent mid-layer performance – though you’re bound to grab it every time you’re headed out the door
- Midweight polyester fleece wicks and evaporates sweat from first layers
- Anti-microbial 100% polyester fabric moves easy under layers
- Smooth-face fleece with heat-trapping channels on the inside holds in more core heat
- Odor-fighting performance keeps pals from “picking up your scent”
- Full-zip front plus stand-up collar and hem binding to block icy drafts from blowing in
- 3 pockets that zip to keep contents secure
- Standard Fit
- Imported

This vest is light weight but warm. Best part is the front chest pocket. Nice option.
Just the thing to take the chill off an energy-saving home... I found the 2x too small and the 3x slightly too large but I kept it and use it most every day.
First time buyer in December. I bought 2 shirts and wore them for work. Washed them..no shrinkage. Wore them again and washed them again. Same thing. Great fit and looks and you can feel the quality. I bought eight more shirts including 3 of the polos and three of the wrinkle free shirts. I also bought two vests - same excellent quality. I plan to business with Duluth for a very long time.
Went to Burlington, MA brick and mortar store. On the vest, they had signs indicating "40% off outerwear" . When I got to the cash register it wasn't 40% off according to the cashier who said it wasn't outerwear and not meant to be worn outside. Go figure
