The North Face Nuptse Down Vest - Women's
Nice vest but bought something else

When shopping online I was leaning towards this vest especially after reading all the great reviews but then I went into a store and compared this vest with Mountain Hardware's downtown vest and bought it instead. Both a great vests but I found the fit of the Nuptse to be a little off. It definately runs small - it was between the medium Mt. Hardware or a small NF Nuptse. I found that the armholes on the Nuptse were too big. I also preferred the fleece lining in the Mt. Hardware vest. But the collar on the Nuptse vest is incredible and will keep you very warm if you zip it all the way up. That was the one thing I liked about the Nuptse vest better. A good vest but I suggest the Mt. Hardware - it had a little more style too.
