All the goodness of the classic Nuptse vest with the Novelty look that's in like flynn...
Amply insulated with 700 fill goose down, the Nuptse®  Vest is extremely warm, lightweight, and highly compressible for travel. Ideal as both a stand-alone layer in cold conditions or as a layer underneath a waterproof shell during cold rain showers, this high loft down vest features sewn-through construction that keeps down shifting, eliminating cold spots. Double taffeta layer at shoulders increases durability with backpacks, and hem cinch-cord provides a buffer to ward-off upward gusts of wind.

A little about down fill and insulation/weight:Depending on the intended application, the highest available fill power may not be necessary. A high fill power will provide more insulating ability for a given weight of down. The warmth of a down comforter depends not only on the fill power, but also on the quantity of fill. So the difference between a comforter with 550 fill power down and a comforter with 700 fill power down is that the 700 fill power down comforter will be lighter for the same warmth rating. High fill powers are most important for weight sensitive applications such as backpacking.
Down (or any insulation) provides warmth by trapping a layer of air that separates the cold side from the warm side. A thicker layer of trapped air gives more insulation. This thickness is often called "loft." A comforter that uses 550 fill power down, for example, would have to use approximately 40%-50% greater weight of down than a similar item that uses 800 fill power down to provide the same loft.

"Every cool girl needs one of these..."

Rating:*****
This is my 5th NF purchase from MJ and lemme just say, this vest is off the heezy fo' sheezy! My new hubby of 3 wks suprised me with it yesterday @ work when a sexy brown box with MJ stickers all over it magically appeared on my desk! I’ve been wanting it ever since it went up on the site a couple weeks ago. I got the orchid one in medium. I'm 5'7 and have a long torso and it fits perfectly. I even wore it around the house last night with the tags on it and then again to work today (with no tags). Overall though, it's awesome. I have received 5 compliments on it within the past 24 hours. I know this vest make you the most complimented person on your block. Anyways, love the madness...
