Rugged, constructed like the Sentinel of Stone that is its namesake, the Aconcagua Vest from The North Face insulates your core with nature's warmest material, while design touches make this your favorite layering piece for early fall adventures both downtown and on the mountain.
Down vests, while awesome, always made you look like the Michelin Man. That is, until The North Face Men's Aconcagua Vest came along. Luckily, The North Face designed the Men's Aconcagua Vest with warmth and style both 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.
"The Aconcagua Vest is an all-around, down vest for layering and a broad range of activities."
A sleeveless version of the all-around, everyday Aconcagua Jacket, this is a great vest for layering during cold weather or a standalone piece in tepid conditions.

does everything I wanted it to. | |

I got this vest in gray because I live in CA, and wanted something to keep me warm during the "winter" without wearing a full-on coat. I was also nervous at first because I didn't want to look like a turtle either. | |

The North Face Aconcagua Down Vest A++ | |
| Rating: | |
The North Face Aconcagua down vest has to be the warmest piece of clothing I own. Here in Colorado the weather can change on a dime, this vest is perfect for any conditions that get thrown at me. It's perfect for layering under my shell for a day on the slopes, or to wear over a long sleve on a cold day. It is super lightweight and easily stuffs into a small pouch and takes up very little space in a pack. I wold highly reccomend this vest, it is versitlie and stylish and can be worn on almost any occasion. A++ | |

Warm, lean and lots of pockets. | |

This vest is very comfortable and doesn't get in your way. As others have said, it's not too puffy like some vests. I wear it before and after running, kayaking and what not. It's also low enough profile that it's comfortable to wear while sitting in a chair with your laptop. I expect I'll be packing it along next winter for something to put on under a softshell when the going gets cold since it seems to be very stuffable. There are a plethora of pockets which is nice too...and they all zip up! | |

Great Vest | |
| Rating: |  |
| I just recently purchased this and wear it under (or over) my Mountain Hardware Tech Jacket (I have a Large in both) and under my Arc'teryx Sidewinder as a warming layer.It has a high collar and drop back; makes it great layer.1 Deep inside (Left side) pocket w/ zipper garage and 2 exterior felt lined hand warmer pockets.I cannot believe I got a vest like this that is great in so many ways for [$]. It is an essential for the winter layering enthusiast. | |

Not the Vest in the Picture | |
| Rating: | |
| I ordered the vest in empire blue and was slightly disappointed that the one that came was not the one in the picture. The Grey is darker(almost black) than it appears and the zipper is blue, not Grey. Other than that, nice fit, nice quality, great for approaches, zips into my shell. Great for camp while cooling down from a climb. | |

Slimmer but not slim. | |

I bought this for layering under a rain jacket, but it's pretty long and puffier than I'd expected. It still does the job and keeps me very warm. I was happy with the lighter fill because I'm pretty warm generally. It also helps to keep my pits dry(er). it even packs down reasonably well inside the chest pocket. | |

Great investment for the new year... | |

| I'm a NYC based photographer, a hooded sweatshirt with my North Face vest a perfect fit for me. This was one of my favorite purchases since my mac book pro for the new year. North Face vest is the premium brand in winter accessories. The vest totally holds up its end of the bargain. All the best [...] | |

Color just a little off | |

| I ordered the vest in black and when i received it i was just a little disappointed. The black was not as black as I thought it would be more of a dark charcoal . The vest is stylish and comfortable. It fit great and the material was comfortable. Great for the Fall. | |

Awesome product! | |

| This vest is excellent, perfect balance of weight, comfort, and warmth. I absolutely love wearing this vest and I do every chance I get. I would recommend this vest to anyone who hikes, camps or does anything outdoors that wants a nice warm layer that keeps the cold out. Great buy! | |

North Face is colorblind | |

This item was listed as "black" but I recieved navy blue...twice. Apparently the black vest advertised on the site is actually navy blue. After two exchanges through backcountry a customer service rep explained to me that is just the hue of the vest and it is actually black. But everyone that I showed the vest to immediatly identified it as a blue vest but for some reason this site wants to call it black. | |

No such thing as black vest | |
| Rating: | |
Even though they display it as black and the price tag on jacket says black it is very clearly a navy blue vest. My thought is that there was a mix up in a warehouse somewhere and this site is too careless to correct the problem for some reason. Basically telling me after two exchanges that is the hue of the jacket deal with it. | |

Black is not black! It is navy blue! | |

I bought a black Down Vest and it is Navy Blue. My wife has the same vest in black and when you put them side by side you can clearly tell the vest is not black. I hope to get a refund so I can shop somewhere else. | |

The fit is slim and the warmth is bomber but I always have random feathers sticking out or flying off of me. | |
