Review & An Awesome Purchase! Down For A Run Vest, Athleta Vortex Jacket, Transitions Jacket, Downalicious Deluxe Vest
Post holiday sales have been nice to me lately. I went to the Burlington store and they had HUGE markdowns. I'm talking 50% off. I saw the Down For A Run Jacket for $99 in Tender Violet in my size, which was super tempting. But I passed it up when I saw the Down For A Run Vest in Berry Rumble marked down to $69! Major score since that is my first pick in choice of color. So now I'm unsure if I want to keep the Forage Teal Vest I scored on WMTM for $99. Lululemon problems!
Down For A Run Vest in Berry Rumble Size 4. $69!!!
I'm wearing it over my Be Present Jacket.
I went to Athleta and tried on a few pieces. The one that stood out to me most is the Transitions Jacket. The fit was true to size. I'm always a size XXS at Athleta. The price tag is off putting to say the least especially since it's made out of 100% polyester. I really did not think it is worth the price at all. I would cap it at maybe $130. It's thin and more of a Spring piece. It is called Transitions after all.
I've been eyeing the Downalicious Vest for awhile since it went on sale. But at $118, I think I'm happier with my Down For A Run Vest. This looked pretty nice over the Transitions Jacket. If the vest went on further markdown for say $75 I might go for it. I like the edgy look sometimes. It's the inner goth in me.

The last piece I tried on is the Vortex Jacket. This wasn't bad, but I am afraid the fleece parts will not hold up well in the long run. I like that it has a hood. The fit was true to size. But again the price tag is off putting. $148. I'll reconsider if it goes on sale.
