Great Purchase

By Anonymous Ranked #375 - Women's Vests January 14, 2010

The vest is incredibly comfortable, warm and very well made. It's longer than I expected considering most of the North Face tops/jackets that I own and have tried on are shorter than preferred. (That seems to be a notorious trend for NF). This vest is the perfect length (hits well below a normal pant waist-line). I was worried about the pattern of the stitching compared to the nuptse vest. I actually liked the nuptse pattern better, but bought the aconcagua because of the better price. When I received the vest and saw the aconcagua in person the pattern wasn't an issue at all, in fact it grew on me. The vest does have a bit of a sheen to it, but not too shimmery whatsoever. In fact it probably wouldn't be noticeable at all unless compared with the nuptse.

I thought I would regret not buying the nuptse, but I'm completely happy with my aconcagua purchase! I highly recommend it.
