This vest is like taking your good ol down jacket out on that brisk day but without the sleeves! This jacket is 700 fill of pure warmth that keeps your core toasty. The size runs just a tad big but thats perrrrfect because you can layer a fleece under it and not feel like you're wearing a corset! Even the collar is cozy. The length is perfect too, keeping the wind at bay at your lower back. Arms holes aren't cinched tight, shoulders aren't ridiculously thin, the collar doesn't poke you funny and you don't feel like you're wearing a light padded sweater! The North Face Nuptse is all you'll need when you retire your down jacket for the winter!

Like all the reviews say, yes, this vest is super cute and the cut is flattering but listen to those of us who are saying that the arm holes are just way too tight. If you have any intention of layering more than a t-shirt and want the vest to fit perfect..guess what? The arms are strangling! I'm pretty small and originally bought an xs. The fit was absolutely perfect except for the strangling arm holes. I went ahead and exchanged it for a sm and now the shoulders fall over my shoulders. Whoever thought of those cinched armpits should be fired! Sorry to say, I'm exchanging again and going for another brand.
