The North Face Boys' Nuptse Down Vest is an extremely warm, lightweight, and compressible vest for cold and crisp days. He can wear this down vest over a sweatshirt or as an insulating layer under a hardshell. Softball-size compression makes it easy to fit the Nuptse Vest in his backpack. The baffled construction keeps down from shifting while a double layer of taffeta reduces wear and tear, so if he falls down, you can count on the pillowed comfort of this North Face vest. Two zippered hand warmer pockets keep his fingers toasty warm and a smile on his face.

Nice Vest!

Rating:*****

Bought this for my son and he absolutely love this vest! Sizing was very true to the sizing chart provided. He uses it for brisk days at school and layering when we climb so it's very versatile. The cut is nice so it moves well. All in all a great purchase!

Warm vest

Rating:*****
I bought the vest for my 9 year old son who seems never cold even on days that are freezing. I think this is a good alternative for parents who have kids that hate wearing jackets specially when playing.

"what i expected"

Rating:***
the boys sizes are a great option for smaller women. i bought a boys large i'm about 5'6 and it fit perfectly. save yourself some dough and get the boys instead of the women. also a good option for women who don't like their outerwear to always come in purple, pink, or turquoise. however, i'd say the mountain hardware vests are more insulated verus the north face version.
