Wear The North Face Women's Down Vegas Vest around town to warm your core. The 550-fill down and DWR-coated exterior take cool temps and light precip in stride. The detachable faux-fur trim on the Vegas' hood lets you decide how to wear this vest. Two hand pockets and one internal media pocket store your celly, beanie, and wallet.

Bottom Line: Visit Vegas, then take a road trip to Mammoth, and don't forget this down vest.

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

I recently purchased the North Face Vegas Vest and absolutely love it! It is very warm and I love the fact that there is fur inside of the pockets! It is so nice to have a hood and not to always have to rely on wearing a hat. This hood is cute with the fur and nice that you can zipper off the fur to wash the jacket. I would normally wear a M, but opted to go up to the large to wear over sweaters etc and it fits perfectly. I have already received so many compliments on it! I would definitely recommend this product and recommend purchasing from Back Country.

Love it!

I just received the vest yesterday-it came very fast. I tried it on and I love it!! The only problem, which isn't even a problem to me really, is that it's a little on the short side. I usually wear xs in everything, but this is really tiny! It doesn't look weird, arm holes are big enough, there is room to move around when it's zipped up, I just probably could have gone with a small. Either way, I will be keeping it and wearing it once Wisconsin gets out of the single digits! Soooo glad I found this vest for as cheap as I did!!

This vest is perfect for climates where the weather is constantly changing. You can layer it under or over a fleece, you can take off the fur lining in precipitation - it's very versatile and cute.

I'm very happy to receive the Cherry Stain Brown vest, the pockets have nice fleece lining (extra touch)
I do believe this vest runs small - so I'm very glad I ordered a size up from what I normally order.
I've gotten lots of compliments on this vest! I'm happy for the vest-

just got this for half the price in a random store in europe. i'm a usually an xs in NF stuff (metropolis jacket, other thin down vest) but the xs and small were super weirdly small so i got the med.

i really like it but the fit is just not there. when it's zipped up all the way it chokes me, and it slips around all over the place. i have to wear a thick sweater with some texture to keep it in place.

i would probably wait for a good sale and get it for style only.

if i question whether to size up or down, usually i size up on a piece i will zip all the way as i hate to feel choked! i get tempted by a size small for less bulk but for that simple neck room i go medium.

This is a really good way to go. You might also check out the heavier down vests from Mountain Hardwear. They're wicked warm too!Hope that helps.

This vest is adorable. But, unfortunately it's also very short. And the hood looks funky, like it's way too big for the vest. I love the idea of the vest, but for a tall girl, it's just not gonna work.

True, it does run a little short and the hood is a little larger than it needs to be, I'm willing to sacrifice for the "pretty-factor"..and the price was right!

This vest is really cute, however, it's not even remotely true to size. It runs really really small. Also, the hood it huge! The hood doesn't look right while it's on, and it does not attach to the vest very well. Save your money on this one.

I LOVE this vest!!!

This is the cutest vest EVER. I LOVE how the fur zips off, though I kind of wish the whole hood zipped off. The elastic backing is awesome and it is so comfortable. It does run small -- I wear a size M in all my other TNF stuff, but I took a L in this -- but it is a super cute vest, especially in the Cherry Stain color. Totally edgy and adorable...I love it.

Hi! Can you tell me the approx. backlength of a size medium Vegas

Hi! Can you tell me the approx. backlength of a size medium Vegas vest? I am longwaisted...worried that it might be too short?

If you're long-waisted I wouldn't reccomend this vest at all. I've got a long torso and the pockets sit high on this thing and it looks goofy. Hence, the return. Ususally TNF carries longer lengths but this is one of the few exceptions.

Awesome vest. Perfect for layering and keeping your core warm while allowing maximum movement of the upper limbs, aka, arms. The fur is detatchable, which is nice if you don't feel like offending PITA on any given day. Great transition piece -- can rock it in the fall, winter, and spring.
