Customer Reviews The North Face ThermoBall™ Vest

I really wanted to like this vest, but the fit just wasn't right. The fushia pink is a beautiful color and the best was incredibly light weight and comfortable. But I am a petite woman (5'0 tall) and even the XS was too long on me. The fit was slightly awkward so I had to send it back.

I wanted this to be my go to vest for added warmth as an extra layer for cold indoor offices and rooms or for outdoor activities..hiking, skiing etc. Sorry to say this vest does not work.. barely provides ANY warmth.. My ancient Thinsulate vest is warmer!! I would return this if i could!

This is a great vest but the fit was not quite right. I am a pretty standard 6/28 and wear small size jackets usually. The body fits great in this vest but it is very tight at my hips. I can barely zip it! That is so odd, it is like it was made with men's proportions, straight.

I so wanted this vest to work! I love the weight and stitching pattern. But the fit is all off. The small fit me great through the chest but the hip was too tight...the medium fit great in the hip but too big everywhere else...and I am not an oddly proportioned person. I'm 5'6, 130 lbs with a 34B bust. I finally settled on a Prana vest instead (and I love it).

This jacket is flimsy and does not wash with good results. After 1 gentle wash, it looks like it is ready to be replaced. Spare yourself the money and skip this one.

Not true to size; flimsy; didn't seem like it would keep you warm; returned it immediately!
