The North Face Nuptse 2 Vest for Men is amply insulated with 700 fill goose down, yet it's still extremely lightweight and highly compressible. 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.
