The North Face Aconcagua Down Vest - Men's
Down vests, while awesome, always made you look like the Michelin Man. That is, until The North Face Men's Aconcagua Vest came along. Luckily, The North Face designed the Men's Aconcagua Vest with warmth and style both in mind. Baffle-stitched 550-fill power down provides light, efficient insulation without puffing you up like a blowfish. The Aconcagua fits easily under trim shells due to its svelte shape, and looks even better over a buttondown shirt or a sweater when you're raking leaves in the yard.
Bottom Line: The Aconcagua Vest has the warmth of down without the airbag silhouette.

Hi, is the vest fitted (ie slim fit)?
Some of the comments on the website complain about the black being a navy blue. What is the story with the color of the black vest.
Are the pockets fleeced line? Is the inside of the collar fleeced line?
Does it have pockets on the inside of the vest?

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

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++

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great Vest...really keeps you warm when you don't need a full on coat. Easily folds up into a pouch. And as always North Face quality is fantastic.

A perfect weight for transitional weather and for layering. Fleece lined pockets are a nice detail. And real good looking.
