Customer Reviews The North Face THERMOBALL™ Vest

This was my adult son's favorite Christmas gift this year! No doubt he'll wear it all winter long! Very nice fitting and well made.

The vest is a beautiful, lightweight, and comfortable product. The design and color combination is brilliant. Though the variety of uses are limited, it is a must every day, casual, activities. However, sizing seems to always be an issue. The length is a bit long while a smaller size would cause other difficulties to the chest and hip. Overall, a brilliant item that is highly recommended for casual wear.

I'm a mountaineer and fire fighter, I wear this vest doing everything great quality

Great purchase! Very comfortable and warm as well.

Perfect fit

Works very well. Frees arms and does not bind.

I got my dad another one of these for Christmas because he wears his green one constantly and in every weather environment! It's his favorite vest and he is known for wearing it. He loves the bright color and the new red bright color is fabulous! I know he'll love it! :)

The fit is perfect, I'm 5'9'' 190 lbs . Vest is perfect with a long sleeve shirt or thermal top. I've used it in 40 degree temperature's and it was warm and comfortable with plenty of range of motion. I would buy this again .

Love the look. Great fit and "finish". I use this item over a long sleeve shirt, or shirt-jac, and it's perfect. It also does a great job of keeping my core toasty when riding my motorcycle in chilly temps.

I wear it everyday and get several compliments on it. Everyone wants to know where I got it. I originally bought it as a gift then decided to keep it for myself. I'll get another for a gift Everyone should have one of these vests, they're GREAT!!!!!

I washed this vest and when it dried it looks like the quilting squares are stained or discolored. My jacket is the medium blue and the quilting squares now have a dark/black edging on most of them as if the down fill stained the fabric. What to do? I love this vest, but don't want it to be two tone!

I feel I am regular size for my senior age. I have climbed all my life. For me the size range of the north face jackets is to restrictive. I find the large size to tight in the chest and the extra large to large overall in all your garments. I am large in Arcyeryx jackets and need to go to extra large in North Face products with result it is loose fitting. I would prefer if the cut of your jackets and vests was more regular in size and not so tight. I have recently purchased one of your thunderball down vests and find I am in between sizes. Disappointed.

I love these vests. I have noticed that the matte finishes are marred and affected by scruffy beards. The smooth and shiny finishes don't seem to be as affected. What is really disappointing is that I sent the vest in and TNF sent me a bill for $77 to repair the damage to the collar! This is ridiculous given that no one says you must be clean shaven to use this material.

I bought this for a future gift. I ended up returning it because it was a lot thinner than I thought it was going to be. Just didn't really think it was worth the price. I ended up replacing it with the Harway vest from The North Face which was more of what I was looking for.

I'm 5'10", 195# and the large fits great. Still have plenty of room for two underlayers and reaching room. The size function helped me choose right. Not as puffy as other pufferswhich is a good thingand probably toastier too

Awesome best. 6'1 180lbs and the size large fits perfect

I live in MN and LOVE the outdoors. I can wear this garment as a casual accessory in the office or a night on the town. And on the weekends it executes as advertised on the water and in the field.

Exactly the fill and finish I wanted, but in this style, I need the next size up. Only previous review said the fit was generous. I guess, I am too generous for the fit.

This vest now fits like it should. The last model was big/wide i went down to am xs. This new model a small is fitted and well tailored. If your used to thermobal consider going a size up

The product is OK. Thermoball is inferior in every way compared to alternatives on the market, but when it's deeply discounted, it is a decent value. However, it is a shame that an OK product can be ruined by such a poor customer service experience.

I have used this vest in the following activities, hiking, golf, cycling and casual wear. This vest exceeded my expectations.

I feel you can size down with the Thermoball jackets and vests. My jacket is a large and I feel it's oversized. Because of that, I decided to try a medium in the vest. At 5'9" and 205lbs, the medium is just right. Nobody my size has any business fitting a "medium". Regardless of what size works best for you, the product is excellent.

THE MATT MATERIALS ARE ACTUALLY HEAVIER. I LIKE THE LIGHTWEIGHT (NON MATTE) MATERIAL AS IT PACKS AND STUFFS MORE EASILY AND IS LIGHTER.
