Ready for fall and winter adventures. Lightweight but warm and cozy. Vest is packable also. Made of recycled materials so I'm happy to be meeting my personal needs while contributing to our great earths sustainability. Did I mention this also works in the city as it's super stylish. Let's go hiking then hit the city for lunch after.

This is the exact outerwear I needed this winter. As someone who puts form just a bit over function, I love that this vest does both perfectly! It's great to wear when you need to storm the freezing temperatures, it's great to wear when you are out on the town with friends! The flexibility of this piece is phenomenal, and with the quality that comes with the North Face brand, you cannot go wrong with this purchase! Yes, it's pricey, but you're no doubt going to want to wear this for the rest of your life!

Love the retro look of this vest. Great quality. The fit isn't slim fitting, since it's a retro 90's style, so if you're looking for a very slim cut, you may not like this vest. But the fit makes it easy to layer the vest over a fleece sweater or light jacket, making it great for layering. I wear a large in jackets normally, and got this vest in a large and the fit was perfect. It does have pull strings to tighten the bottom of the vest around your waist if you find it a bit boxy at first. Highly recommend!

I use this product as daily basis. Great quality. Color is perfect . Size everything. It's expensive but worth the price. North face always provides great style and quality. I will buy again in different color.
My husband has been telling me he wanted a vest for a while. So I had to get this for him for Christmas! He loves it! I was a little worried about his shoulders and chest because he has the build of a football player and it's always hard to find things that fit him. But it fights perfect and he can still layer it if he wants and still be able to zip it up! For reference his chest/ shoulders are a 44. Warm as well! He hates coats
The Nuptse works. I wear it as a layer under my Arrowood Dry-Vent all the time, especially when driving our neighborhood electric vehicle around town in the cooler evenings. Nuptse also works as an excellent around the yard core insulator when there's work to be done. The hood comes in handy too.
I own a Nuptse down vest which I purchased about 20 years ago. It has a softer nylon shell, although possibly that comes with age and multiple washings. The older one is also longer and has larger arm openings (which I like). The older one is a beautiful shade of red which is no longer available. The new vest is certainly warm. I like the older vest better.
This retro vest looks and feels as great now as it did some 40 years ago. It offers warmth, comfort and style all in a compact, self-packable package. I'm glad that The North Face has kept this time-honored and timeless vest available in it catalog. What made it even better was that Nordstrom had it on sale at a price that was lower than every one of its competitors, including Amazon. Fast and free shipping made it an even sweeter purchase.
This vest is amazing, I love it. But the Altitude Sports team messes up big time here with the packaging. They squish it so tight inside a small box that the feathers get clumped up resulting in the jacket not being as puffy as advertised. What you see in stores/online won't be the same as what you get from Altitude Sports till you fix it yourself. It can be fixed, but it's annoying to have to fix someone else's mistake.
I love the warmth this vest offers. 700 fill power is in the higher quality tier of down. This also makes it lightweight and compressible. My only gripe is what a lot of other people have stated about both the Nuptse vest and jacket. It's a little short. Why hasn't TNF addressed this yet? It's been years people have been complaining about the length of these. It needs to be like an inch longer, especially in the jacket. I imagine it's quite uncomfortable when cold air sneaks in underneath. It's doesn't bother me too much with the vest though because I usually layer with a hoodie.
