For a long time I considered getting a down vest, and the decision was between the EMS vest and The North Face Nuptse vest. I decided on the latter. The vest is made of 700 fill goose down, which makes it extremely warm, and very puffy and comfortable. The fit is absolutely great and the size seems true to what I normally would choose. It comes with to zippered pockets, and a nice little stash pocket on the inside. This is also zippered. I loved this detail. The color scheme I think is awesome with a nice dark grey top over black. It comes in different colors as well.
I have now used it under my main jacket, on top of a sweater, on top of a fleece, even indoors on top of a tshirt. Its super comfortable, and I am so happy I bought it. Definitely my best clothing buy this year.
If feels like having a poofy comforter on all the time!
I worn it in very cold weather, just on top of a fleece jacket, and not been cold in any way. I would definitely go for this if you are looking for a warm comfortable vest.
