I also wear the feathered friends vest. Lightweight, high loft, neck zips up nice and high and is well-filled. They run a little small. I normally wear XL, and their XL fits…but with very little room to spare. I can layer it over a thicker base layer but not a decent-weight fleece. Mine was purchased on clearance, there was a fairly visible stain on the nylon on the chest.
Good observation about compressing the down. It’s important that layers over a down vest don’t really do that. It’s the reason a belay jacket, down sweater or shell you layer over a puffy need to be on the roomy side, so you get the full benefit of the loft.

I have one of those old Mountain Hardwear puffy down vests with the suede look shoulders.
I think I've worn it once. It's too fat to wear under my shells, which are sized for layering all but that piece. I typically layer with fleece, vest or jacket under shell.
Timely as it's 2 outside with a high of 10 today and I was thinking of trying to figure out a way to use it today.
