Gear Review
Decent but not great
By Coop
Ranked #536 - Men's Vests
April 28, 2008
First off I recommend ordering a size smaller than your other Mountain Hardware gear. Good: Nice looking jacket, pockets are great and very comfortable. Arm holes were perfect. Various cords you can tighten make it good at blocking the wind. Bad: My wife has the similarly priced North Face Nuptse Down vest which to be frank is much nicer. As stated in some other reviews this vest does lose feathers and the surface material is much thinner than the North Face. Personally for me the shoulders were too wide and the vest just and inch or two shorter than I would like.
