Aconcagua Down Vest - Men's

Down vests, while awesome, always made you look like the Marshmallow Space Invader. That is, until The North Face Men's Aconcagua Vest came along. Luckily, The North Face designed this puffy vest with both warmth and style in mind. Baffle-stitched 550-fill power down provides light, efficient insulation without puffing you up like a blowfish. The Aconcagua fits easily under trim shells due to its svelte shape, and looks even better over a buttondown shirt or a sweater when you're raking leaves in the yard. For added practicality, the vest packs down small for backpacking and travel.

Bottom Line: No, you never need to feel chilled around the campfire (or on the ski lift) again. Sweet.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

My son had this on his Christmas wish list. Knowing that North Face products sell quickly, I ordered this as soon as I found out he wanted this - end of November. He has an Apex jacket in XL so I ordered an XL vest. A large is the appropriate fitting vest. He would be thrilled with his gift if only we could find one! I should of had him try it on when it arrived, then wrapped it. Great vest, sizing may be generous.

Hi,

I have been desperately trying to get hold of a medium black Aconcagua North Face vest. Is there any chance of ordering one to your Birmingham store or to get shipped to a residential address?

Regards

Matt

Not from here, Backcountry's an independent retailer. If they don't have any in stock, they can't send it to you.

Great Vest

By:
November 22, 2010

I got this vest for my boyfirend. He is 6'3" and about 225 and the Large fits him perfect (The XL would have been better if he had wanted to wear hoodies underneath the vest, but he mainly wanted it to wear over long sleeved shirts so the Large was a better choice). This vest is great, not too puffy but still very warm. Our obsession with TNF continues!

Since I am a little shorter, but weigh the same, this helped me determine if XL or L is the size for me.

Great Vest

Another quality product from north face. Vest runs true to size and fits great. This vest is warm and is very durable. Fleece lined pockets are very warm and this vest is great. On cold days I zip it into my triclimate jacket and I am toasty warm. Thanks North Face!

Great vest, extremely well made

By:
January 16, 2011

I bought this vest for my husband for christmas in the Charcoal color, he loved it. It's not poofy like some of the other vests, just squishy. It folds up small and doesn't come back wrinkled. I bought my husband the XL, He is 6"2' and usually wears a 17 1/2 36-37 in dress shirts. The XL fits perfect. Would recommend this vest and also the website- shipping took a little longer but I think that was my own fault for choosing USPS at Christmas time. When I started getting nervous about if it was going to make it in time I called customer service and spoke to someone extremely professional and friendly who was able to send me tracking information that said it would be here the following day, and it was. Overall, great vest, great price, great company & customer service.

Awesome - but order size down

By:

Great, mid-warmth vest, the deep water blue has some cool grey contrast at shoulders, neck and down sides. I generally wear large TNF, however, the large is too big for me. I had to exchange for a medium. With right size, da' vest is da' bomb!

Great down vest that really keeps the chill/wind out

By:
November 4, 2010

Living in San Francisco, there is, often times, a chill that can attack you. And even from a guy who normally likes his weather on the cooler side, the SF Bay 'breeze' can be unwelcomed. So I ordered this vest with the hopes of keeping my core and neck warm... but didn't want to be overly toasty. This TNF vest is perfect. It's not too overly bulky and it's got a very nice clean look to it. The sizing is quite accurate. I'm 6'0" and a 42R jacket size and I got a Medium. In terms of upkeep... I have already machine washed it and tumble dried on low... so it's pretty low maintenance in the event you get a little dirt on it.
