Mountain Hardwear Downtown Down Vest - Women's
Great Vest

Ranked #430 - Women's Vests
November 17, 2008
I was comparing this vest and North Face's Nuptse down vest. On line I was leaning towards the North Face but when I went to the store and tried both on I ended up buying the Mountain Hardware vest. The medium Mt. Hardware fit like the small North Face but the arm holes on the North Face were too big and the fit was a little off. I also like the fleece lining of the Mt. Hardware vest better. NF Nuptse did not have this. The only thing I loved better about the NF vest was the collar - fit like a warm cozy scarf around the neck but over all I thought the MH vest was a much better fit/look.
