It's Great!

I'm 5'11", 130 lbs., mid B-size cup. I found the small size to fit me best (I usually wear a medium in tees and long sleeves, and a small or medium in sweaters). This vest isn't fitted - like the pictures show, it's cut pretty straight to the hip. The material is satiny, so it slides easily under other layers and looks pretty snazzy. I bought this TNF boxier cut vest so it would fit well over fleece layers for very cold conditions. The down and amount of it in the vest is plenty for cold-weather layering.
For urban excursions, I'll probably buy a more fitted (hourglass cut) vest.

vest is typical North Face high quality. I have the white and I like the subtle sheen on the outside. The neck collar has baby soft fleece. Pockets are well placed, especially the cell phone/ipod chest pocket. Fit is true to the sizing chart. If you are on the size border, go down it is a little larger than you think. Warmth factor is better than I would have guessed. I wore it in 29 degree weather with just a sweater underneath and I was plenty warm. For $88 this is a must have.

I am leaving for Alaska in 2 weeks and wanted to get a vest for the trip. This was the perfect option - not as bulky and warm as the Nuptse and great for layering. I do have to agree with someone else's review that says the pocket linings are kind of flimsy. That's not a big deal for me though. Also want to point out that there is an interior pocket that isn't mentioned in the description.

Hey ladies - this vest is a hot little number and if you're in the market for a vest that looks cute, feels luxurious, is built to last and keeps the cold away - then buy this vest. I am a generally size Small but because the vest I wanted was on sale I could only get it in XS. The other reviews said it runs a bit big so I decided to cross my fingers and hope for the best. Turns out it fits like a glove and is super cute the way it fits me and a Small would've been a wee bit big. Was a bit concerned at first glance that it was on the short side but again North Face nailed the fit as it is perfect all the way across the board. I want to buy another one as a back up but my husband probably wouldn't think that was a great idea so will stick with my basic black and take good care of it!!

I have this in brown and black and I wear them constantly since a full jacket is often too warm once you get indoors. The fabric is a bit shiny, which is too overwhelming on the full jacket, but looks cool on the vest. The fabric is durable and the weight is perfect. The quilted look helps you keep from looking too puffy and the fleece lined collar is cozy. I wish I could get a size between medium and large because the medium is more fitted but due to my height, 5' 9" I have to get a large. They should make it in green!

This is a good vest. It is totally adequate over a fleece or sweatshirt in 50 degree weather. It is made out of sturdy fabric. It is not very packable. It is not very puffy. I sent it back because my girlfriend liked the other one I got her better. It was an Eddie Bauer Down Light vest.

LOVE this vest. I never knew I could be so warm without a jacket! Not bulky, great for layering, and very versatile as far as dressing it up or down. I am one of those people who is always cold, so now, no matter where I go I know I will be warm as long as I have this vest with me!

Very nice vest. I ordered down a size after reading some of the reviews. If you want this vest for around town purposes order down a size, but if you are actually going to use this vest for physical activity and outdoor excursions I would order as the size chart suggests. I had to return my XS. I really need a small to be comfortable.

I bought the white vest and liked it so much I ordered the brown vest a few weeks later. The silky finish makes it versatile- making it easy to dress up or dress down.

I have been wanting one of these vests for a while and went back and forth on what brand to go with. I am so happy with my choice - wouldn't trade it for anything! It is warmer than I thought which is great for me! I normally wear a size small, but ended up exchanging for an XS. There is still a little more room around the torso than I wanted, but all in all it is great and I would recommend it to anyone!

I absolutley love this item. I have worn it several times and everytime, I get compliments. All of my friends want to order one. Fits well and looks great on.

i bought the outer white/inner grey vest. i couldn't be happier -- it's pretty enough to dress up and casual to dress down. it's comfortable and just the right amount of puffiness. i got compliments on the vest. i'm hoping winter lasts longer so i can continue to wear it!

I am very pleased with this vest. I ordered an XL as I am a 46 in the chest and it is a perfect fit. It zips into my shell and eliminates the bulky of the long sleeve fleece liner. Happy camper!

Love it. Fits perfect. It is exactly what I wanted. It will be great in the spring. Thanks again.

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.

Great deat - always love the North Face Vest - Warm and comfortable and well worth the price.

I have this vest in black and white. I wear both of them all the time during the winter, so much that I need more colors! The black one I have had for over two years and it's holding up wonderfully! The vest is very warm, comfortable and stylish! It's also nice you can throw them in the washer/dryer (a lot in my case) and they hold up and the down seems to stay nice and puffy!

I wanted a vest that was warm, puffy but not too bulky. This one took home the gold.
I am 5'5'', 110 and the xs was definitely the right size if not a little on the bigger side. If you have a long torso it might be a bit short b/c it hits right at my waste.

I had ordered a Small originally, but found that the vest runs a little bit big, so ended up returning for an XS. The fit is now great and more fitted verses looking more square. It is probably just a preference on how you like for your clothes to fit, but I am 5'5" and of average build. I love the snow white color! Wore it outside the other day in a blizzard and it kept me toasty warm! The collar comes up fairly high on the neck which is great to keep the cold at bay! Looks great, feels great and is very warm!

I received my North Face vest today and love it! I ordered it in the snow white, which is a great color! I'm 5'5" and 130lbs. I was debating between ordering a M or a S... and ended up going with the S. Good thing I did because this vest runs big... and even the S has lots of room... I probably could have ordered the XS and it would have fit perfectly. It tends to be a little boxier than the picture shows, but still looks feminine.

Does anyone have this vest in white? The lining looks grey in the picture, but I've been fooled before - someone on this blog said their lining was brown, but I don't know what color vest they were talking about. Also - it sounds like the sizing might not be true. I'm 5'7 1/2" and 135 pounds - I wear a 38C bra. I would normally buy a large (12-14) because a 12 fits me fine. I will be wearing it under a shell and possibly over a not too thick sweater. Any guidance on this? Thanks

I bought the vest because it zips into my North Face jacket, but it's so stylish and functional I usually wear it alone.

I am 5'4 and 112 lbs. and I got an XS and it's a good fit. However, I pictured the vest to be a lot puffier...but it's thin--but still warm.

I love it! It is light and warm. It looks puffy but actually not when you're wearing it and it doesn't feel heavy either. I love the satin feel from the outside and soft fleece around your neck. It keeps me warm. Perfect!! Also, customer services was awesome!

i have been looking for a vest for the longest time but every other one i've tried made me look like a marshmallow. although this one is slimming, it keeps me very warm. like other people, i agree that sizes run large. i usually wear medium and small fits me perfectly. i didn't expect it to be as shiny as it is, but i still love it.

This is the best vest I've ever owned. Perfect weight and warmth for brisk days that you don't want to wear a full jacket. The shiny white is super cute and I love the soft gray collar liner.

Great vest. Love the Plume Blue color- shiny but not overpowering in a vest. Good feminine fit. Got a small for my 5'7" slim frame and it fits perfectly -didn't want gaping arm holes. I wear a medium in most jackets for my shoulders but wanted a closer fit in a vest. Warm & attractive alone or even warmer under a coat.

This vest is exactly what I thought it would be. Lighter weight than the usual down vests I normally wear but it is stylish - sort of a 'town' vest. Toasty warm, lovely lined pockets and fleecy neck. Go down a size though, as with my other The North Face vest, I could have dropped a size.

I love my new vest. I ordered the Nuptse as well to see which one i preferred, and I sent that one back. At 550 down fill, it keeps you warm and still allows for a more flattering fit where the Nuptse was a little more "stay-puff marshmallow" fit. The shiny finish gives it a little more flare and attitude as well. The sizing advice is right on, order one size smaller. I'm 5'11" and 135lbs and medium fits well.

I purchased a size small and I was swimming in it. I wear a size 0-2. If this size and ordering, order an XS. Also, the vest has a "glossy" finish. The picture online shows more of a matte finish.

I had to return this item I am short and it runs on the longer side.
I have a white down Northface and that one is better proportioned for me.

Is great. Even though I live in Alaska and the temp. has been in the low teens and I have only been wearing my Northface vest. I love the color. Fits great.

I bought this for my daughter who is petite. It fits perfectly and looks awesome Not too long at all. She loves the silky finish because it doesn't look like everyone else's vest.

I love this vest. I have it in 'Plume Blue'. A very stylish warm vest. I love internal deep pocket - North Face gives lots of thought to the convenience details. Thanks! My husband loved it so much that I got him a men's version of the vest. Men's version is just as great

I bought this vest for my daughter for Christmas... it was exactly what she wanted. She loves it!
It was a great purchase.

In response to the person that said it was too long for short people, I disagree...my daughter and I are 5'0 and 5'2 and we have this vest in medium and they fit us PERFECT!! The Plume Blue vest is an awesome color.

I love this vest. It fits nice and keeps my core really warm. I wear it in the mornings walking my dogs and it is perfect!

I have two of these vests and I absolutely love them. They are warm and repel water pretty well. They also break the wind beautifully and they are quite stylish!!

The size I got was too big - but when I received a smaller size in a different North Face style it was still too big. Great for layering but not good for my downtown life of shopping and wanting to look stylish while I do it. I cannot speak for it as a piece of gear, I am sure it would have been great for that, but it didn't work for my life.

very comfy, great warmth for chilly fall days in Alaska. soft lining in the pockets and on the collar. looks great too!

Love it! As always The North Face is the best for winter gears!

North Face is the hottest apparel on the market and I was a little behind in my Christmas shopping...I'm thankful I found this site and this Light Blue NF Vest is simply beautiful on my girlfriend.

Smooth transaction and I would do it again!

Love the vest. I am 5'10 and medium fits me perfectly. I did balk a little at the international postage prices but this was offset quite significantly when my parcel reached me in New Zealand a mere three days after I ordered it. Awesome smooth transaction, great communication - BRILLIANT service.

This is a great vest; feels puffy, but is still slimming. The best part is the soft pockets and chin liner. The stitching is unique in a feminine way, and the shiny fabric looks great.

We bought this vest for our sports team, and had it embroidered, and every girl on the team adores it. The other teams we compete with whisper about how pretty the vests are and we love that! One athlete said, "I've never gotten so many compliments on anything in my whole life."

This is a great vest for warmth and has a good around town style too it. It is a fitted style so make sure to account for that style fit. The 550 down is a good versatile weight for warmth without being too hot.

I have Aconcaqua vest in black and it's become a staple in my winter and early spring wardrobe! The fit is great and it's not too bulky, it's great for casual wear as well as spring skiing.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this vest. The fit is perfect (North Face seems to be notorious for running a bit big so I always order a size down), the material is perfect, it's not too bulky, it's so warm, it's a flattering fit, it can be packed in a small stuff sack and put in your pack when not needed...
This vest has become part of my daily wardrobe, it's so comfortable and so warm.
I wear this vest when I do anything outdoors and sometimes I actually find myself falling asleep in it since it's so comfortable.
By far my favorite down vest!
