this is a sweet vest, slightly less loft than the Nuptse vest so it has a slightly different look, fits great, and is a great layering piece to add on those cold days.

This vest has been great so far. It keeps your core very warm and like the description it has a bit of a slimmer fit so it does not make you look huge. I get a lot of compliments on it.

First off, the vest fulfilled all my expectations: great snug fit, excellent layering item or stand alone, long enough back, with an excellent collar, no Michelin Man here. I am 6' and weigh 185, but I'm a little on the leaner side so I'm in that netherworld of large and medium, which is why I NEVER buy clothes online. I took a chance and bought the large which, of course, was too large. I needed a medium THE NEXT DAY. I took a real leap of faith and used Backcountry's IM live customer service system and had my medium vest the next day! In a world of ever more incompetence I was both surprised and encouraged...some folks are truly doing it right. Thanks!

The North Face Aconcagua down vest has to be the warmest piece of clothing I own. Here in Colorado the weather can change on a dime, this vest is perfect for any conditions that get thrown at me. It's perfect for layering under my shell for a day on the slopes, or to wear over a long sleve on a cold day. It is super lightweight and easily stuffs into a small pouch and takes up very little space in a pack. I wold highly reccomend this vest, it is versitlie and stylish and can be worn on almost any occasion. A++

love this vest. very warm and looks great. runs a little big. got an xl and had to exchange for a lg. still plenty of room for layering under it.

This is my second piece of down clothing from The North Face. It fits well and looks great.

Great Vest, very warm. A little big for a large but nice and comfortable for late winter hiking.

I bought this for layering under a rain jacket, but it's pretty long and puffier than I'd expected. It still does the job and keeps me very warm. I was happy with the lighter fill because I'm pretty warm generally. It also helps to keep my pits dry(er). it even packs down reasonably well inside the chest pocket.

This vest is awesome. Looks and feelts great. Good Buy!!

I bought this vest as a present for my boyfriend and he loves it! It fits well without being too bulky. Also, it lives up to the Northface name by being lightweight and extremely warm. I definitly recommend this item.

it's great,...keeps me warm and toasty,...=)

I purchased this vest as a gift. I was very happy with how fast it came. The quality of the vest is up to par with other North Face gear I own. You couldn't beat the price.

It's a great vest. It keeps me warm during those cold winter days. I normally wear it with my North Face Denali jacket. It makes a great combo.

This Vest is all that, especially when you put it on a sweather or like taht:-)

This vest is very comfortable and doesn't get in your way. As others have said, it's not too puffy like some vests. I wear it before and after running, kayaking and what not. It's also low enough profile that it's comfortable to wear while sitting in a chair with your laptop. I expect I'll be packing it along next winter for something to put on under a softshell when the going gets cold since it seems to be very stuffable. There are a plethora of pockets which is nice too...and they all zip up!

The North Face Aconcagua down vest is a garment with great style and good performance with super functional as is customary for the brand The North Face.
I recommend it shelters and the little place in my bag

The fit is slim and the warmth is bomber but I always have random feathers sticking out or flying off of me.

i love my north face vest it keep me warm out here in the cold and it's not to puffy like the other northface jackets and the good thing about it i got a deal on it thanks backcountry.

Light weight & warm. This thing rocks

I got this vest in gray because I live in CA, and wanted something to keep me warm during the "winter" without wearing a full-on coat. I was also nervous at first because I didn't want to look like a turtle either.
1. This vest pretty much runs according to size, maybe a little big. I am 6'1, 170 and I got a medium (i like things slim fitting). The fit is perfect.
2. Super warm.
3. I also love how soft it is. Sometimes when you get down jackets, the seams can be a little harsh, or the exterior can feel like a space suit. This one is soft and flexible to the touch. No wooshy sounds when you move (you all know what i'm talking about).
4. The only con is that it's not waterproof...but that's expected for a down vest.
I'm going to buy the women's version for my fiance...

This item was listed as "black" but I recieved navy blue...twice. Apparently the black vest advertised on the site is actually navy blue. After two exchanges through backcountry a customer service rep explained to me that is just the hue of the vest and it is actually black. But everyone that I showed the vest to immediatly identified it as a blue vest but for some reason this site wants to call it black.

ordered black vest, received vest with a tag that read black, however the vest is navy blue

Even though they display it as black and the price tag on jacket says black it is very clearly a navy blue vest. My thought is that there was a mix up in a warehouse somewhere and this site is too careless to correct the problem for some reason. Basically telling me after two exchanges that is the hue of the jacket deal with it.

I bought a black Down Vest and it is Navy Blue. My wife has the same vest in black and when you put them side by side you can clearly tell the vest is not black. I hope to get a refund so I can shop somewhere else.
