The North Face Men's Khumbu Fleece Vest is all about versatility. Thanks to its midweight insulation and streamlined design, this comfy vest won't see much closet time come fall. Wear the it over a long-sleeve shirt for chilly bouldering sessions or layer it under your shell for core warmth on long ski tours. Its standard fit gives you freedom to move on the rock, but doesn't bulk up too much, so you don't look like a puff ball on the slopes. The Khumbu Fleece Vest is also compatible with zip-in TNF jackets for hassle-free layering.
I see nothing wrong with how the fleece was made and I like the collar keeping the back of my neck warm. I don't think the collar is all that stiff. For the price it suits me just fine. No complaints.
this is a great fleece vest for the price! it also zips into my nf amplitude triclimate jacket so thats another bonus. yes, it may not seem as high quality fleece compared to others which are made by polartec(ie denali), but this vest will keep your core warm and you don't have to spend a lot for it.
Does this fleece have a logo on the back and is the stitching of the logo the traditional white stitching? I heard that The North Face has been using the same color stitching as the fleece material, thus no contrast. I am interested in a black XL.Also, do the two side pockets have zippers?
I received my Khumbu vest today and it's going right back. Lower quality compared to other TNF fleeces that I have. The collar is huge and thick!!! I am going to get a Denali vest or Windwall vest.
I bought the blue one for my husband a few months ago and it's his favorite thing to wear! Just purchased the grey one for him and now he can't decide between the two! The fleece is heavier and thicker, just like the Khumbu jacket, but is super warm and comfortable/flexible enough to be functional. No complaints from my husband about the stiff collar...I actually like how it retains it's shape (I have the women's version). Some of the thinner vests have collars that are just too floppy and don't stay up when you need them to unless zipped all the way up.
Well I got the blue one, and it fits fine, and seems to be very much a high quality vest. This is not a thin one, it is nice and thick and warm, so if you are looking for a lightweight this is not it. It is what I expected anyway. Much better than the LL Bean I was wearing but lost too much weight to wear. Yes it is pricey, because with TNF you are paying a premium for the name, but just this once I thought I would splurge. I like mine!
