"Good jacket, but lacks high material quality " - Review of The North Face Nuptse Down Vest - Men's

I've had my vest for a little over a year and worn it over an apex jacket in anything shy of blizzards. I've been very warm in all conditions. However, a hole appeared in the front right pocket panel about a month ago. Unfortunately, it's going to cost $40 to fix. Ripstop almost- but not quite. And, as one should expect, it's a "lifetime" warrenty with a bunch of exceptions. Overall I'd say it's a decent quality jacket and is great for layering- I just wish the material would've held up better.
