Great jacket to stuff into a pack and stylish. Keeps you much warmer than you would think although a bit bulky. Made durable and once you wear it, you will be hooked. Can get cheaper Columbia jackets that are comparable but if you want to be a TNF groupie, then this is the jacket for you.

You won't be disappointed with The North Face Nuptse vest. It is warm, versatile, and it conveniently stuffs into its own pocket, making it very packable. I took it on my last high-altitude backpacking trip and while I was not wearing the vest, it made the most luxurious backcountry pillow I have ever used! One thing I dislike is that the inside of the neck doesn't have a soft lining. The oil from my skin has slowly turned the material darker here, which looks a little funny. I believe I've seen models in stores this winter that do have the lining, so maybe it's something they are putting on new models. However, I don't think anyone but me will notice. The other downside is that you look like just another The North Face yuppy when wearing it around town. Regardless, with a fit better than the down vests of any other make (I've tried most of them on), some things can't be helped.

I've used the Nuptse down vest for years. This vest has kept me warm when doing over night Cross Country ski trips in the High Uintas as well as kept my temperature right where I want it when hanging around the cabin. If you want a down vest- get this one, it stows well and retains it's loft over the years.

Ive had mine for 4 years now, I love it super warm, works as pillow. Only thing better is the new ones zip into the inner pocket/stuffsack. After trying other companys down vests, I bought the north face vest and it truely is the best. My wife has 4 of them. quite possibly the best vest ever.

Keeps me warm in all activities. Great for ppl on the go. I used mine all the time!!!

I bought this vest for my son for Christmas. He wanted a warm vest and so I did some research. He could not be happier. He is a college student and walks from class to class in the cold, since we live in the Midwest. He has been wearing it since Christmas and loves it and said it is exactly what he was looking for.

I've had my vest for a little over a year and worn it over an apex jacket in anything shy of blizzards. I've been very warm in all conditions. However, a hole appeared in the front right pocket panel about a month ago. Unfortunately, it's going to cost $40 to fix. Ripstop almost- but not quite. And, as one should expect, it's a "lifetime" warrenty with a bunch of exceptions. Overall I'd say it's a decent quality jacket and is great for layering- I just wish the material would've held up better.

This is a great vest. It has worked well so far this winter. Thanks for good service.

Light weight great insulation perfect as a suplimental layer or outer layer with a T-shirt under. Also very fashionable. Overall good product, very happy with purchase.

It's as simple as this. If you're looking to purchase a vest, and you're seeking a stylish, comfortable, super warm, reliable brand, awesome versatility, then stop procrastinating and just get this vest. I've used it only a few times so far but I have not one bad thing to say about it. Outstanding on all accounts.

I've used North Face gear for years. The vest is yet light with three pockets; two outside pockets and one large inside pocket.

I have a heat problem. When I dress for cold weather I always push up my sleeves because my arms get too hot. This vest is the answer to all my problems. Good warmth with no overheating. It looks good too, I wear it to the office and don't look like a grom swimming in a snowboarding jacket. Although it falls under the 'puffy jacket' label, it is not bulky or cumbersome. Oh yah, the pockets are comfy too.

Its just like I wanto to have

A fantastic vest that I bought for my father. He's very proud of it.

I just bought the Nuptse Down Vest 700..
I couldn't be more happy. Its a great vest for all occasions

if you like being comfortable, buy this

I bought it for my husband and he loves it. it only wear a little jacket under it and he is warm.

best vest ever Buy a size down - these fit a size larger

fast shipment and good price : )
thanks

The vest is really warm. Pair it with a warm hat and ur on ur way. Fast shipping

I bought this for my husband and he loves the it. Fits and looks great. :)

exactly what my husband wanted great color combo as well perfect fit

The vest is as good as all there products including the nuptse jacket. Back country is the best there product and customer service rules. Keep up the good work.

Nice and light, works well under a jacket or on a nice fall day. Since this is not at all waterproof I prefer to have it under a shell since my arms stay warm generally instead of a whole down jacket. 700 down is a nice touch to keep it lighter and very packable if you don't want to wear it.

Plus since it is TNF you can always know you will look trendy on the streets of a big city.

The only negative I have is the sizing, the large (which I stuck with) is a little snug when u zip it up over a sweater, while the XL was way too big & looked ridiculous on me. But, I still really like this vest & will prolly get another color since they're on-sale now!

North Face Customer Service is absolutely horrible. I have dealt with them for 3 days now and still have not gotten my problem solved. I have been lied to, I have had an unauthorized tranaction charged to my account and I am fed up with this company. I will never attempt to make a purchase from NorthFace again.
