Whether you order in person at a store or online, the item still goes to your address & you still pay shipping.
If you decide to return it, you can save the return shipping by bringing it into a store, but that's all. Might still be worth calling around near you, but the one store near me doesn't (or doesn't know?)
I see the vest is 7.8 ounces, maybe not as super-UL as Montbell's UL Inner Vest at 5 oz but lighter than most 'lightweight' down vests which average 12-15 ounces or more.
Looks more compressible too. The down jacket is a screamin' bargain too.
The site chart says these are athletic/trim cut which I suppose means you might want to go up a size depending on how you do your layering...
