Aconcagua Down Vest
Don't be surprised when you find yourself wearing The North Face Aconcagua Down Vest everyday this winter—this ultra-versatile, low-profile vest handles everything from hikes down leaf-strewn trails and snowy nights in town to backcountry ski tours. Down insulation offers warmth without the weight, and synthetic Heatseeker insulation in the moisture-prone shoulders and side panels keeps you warm even when it gets a little damp. The fabric is DWR-treated to ward off light precipitation when you wear this vest as an outer layer on autumn hikes, and its low-profile design means it layers comfortably underneath a technical jacket when you use it as a mid-layer for frigid winter activities.
- Low-profile down vest for layering or stand-alone wear
- 550-fill down insulation delivers lofty, lightweight warmth
- Synthetic insulation in shoulder and side panels for water-resistance
- DWR-coated fabric repels light rain and splashes
- Zippered chest pocket and two hand pockets secure essentials
- Item #TNF02JS

Way too big
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: Medium
- Height: 6'2"
- Weight: 165lbs
I found this item huge on me. I've never bought anything small in my adult life, I have been a Medium since high school, 20 years. This fit like an XL.
The best
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Height: 5'11"

You're always warm with this and looks very good with almost all kind of clothes. Love it
Boxy and Bulky
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: medium
- Height: 05'10"
- Weight: 175lbs
The actual stitching and zipper are not neon green as pictured, and the vest is not form fitting at all. This is way too bulky to be an effective climbing layer
Great Vest

Works great as a layer and for climbing, it's useful without adding bulk to the arms. Warm and lightweight.
Great quality

I am truly happy with this purchase! Vests are great for climbing in the winter so you can stay warm while still having movement in your arms. This vest just brought it to the next level. It's half the size of my normal ones but twice as warm
Awesome!

- Fit: True to size
Bought as a gift and the person who received it loved it!
Vest Pack-able NOT
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I recently picked up this vest and the spec says that the Aconcagua can stow in its own, left-hand pocket. This is not accurate as the left packet does not have a reversible zipper to do this.
Runs a size to size and a half large
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought: M
- Height: 5'9"
- Weight: 170lbs
The vest is great love the color and quality, but the size and fit is off. I went down one size and probably should have gone down two sizes to find the right fit. The only reason I did not return it is I hate returning items.
Great with small design flaws

- Weight: 150lbs
The North Face down vest is outstanding. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that there is no draw string on the bottom of the vest nor is it tapered. As a result, some heat does escapes out of the vest. Having said that, the vest does keep your core warm. The quality of this product is great as with most North Face apparel.
Shaped Like a Bell
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought: Large
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 190lbs
No cinch pulls at the waist so the thing kinda hangs and makes me look like a bell. Also @550 fill this is not gonna be super puffy or super warm esp when it can’t be fitted.
Not really impressed with this one. Go Mt HW or Marmot.
Amazing vest, Ordered Wrong Size

- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: Large

This vest was great quality! I ordered it for my boyfriend who normally wears a large top, this vest was a little big on him unfortunately. I returned and will be ordering the medium for him.
The perfect vest!

Great with just a long sleeve shirt underneath, in all weather but the most frigid days (under 20 degrees). I hope to get another color for Christmas! Who is listening?
A vest even your father looks great in.
This vest looks great on the mountains or dressed up ie. Dress shoes/Shirt. With no added bulk, my dad loves pairing this with his everyday wear for warmth and I can see why.
Came ripped
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Nice vest but came with a rip on the back and did not have drawstrings around waist.
Looks great! Fits great!

Got this for my husband and he loves it for those mornings that are chilly but doesn't need a full jacket.
