Customer Reviews The North Face ThermoBall™ Vest

Very nice looking vest, it is thin not as thick as the other North Face vests I have. But very nice looking and still warm.

Very attractive and different . I bought the large. It is a little tight in the bust. Runs long.

I have had this vest for about 2 weeks. It is very thin and comfortable. I gave it 4 stars since I have not tested the warmth factor. I choose the black with the gold thread. It is a nice twist on typical black but still looks great with most clothing (important since it is a vest). Since I am only 5'1", I wish NF offered petite sizes.

This is a beautiful vest, very thin and light in weight. It runs a little fitted so size up one size.

The vest looks stylish and warm. Good color and fit.

I bought two of these vests as I am in between sizes. I generally take a small in North Face vests. This year, the arm holes seem to be smaller so I had to size up to a medium. The small fits but the arm holes are snug with a long sleeved shirt underneath. I got the black with gold trim, love the look!

I really love the vest the only thing is I wish it was a little warmer like my others! But still love it!!!

I lost my black Lululemon vest last year and wanted a replacement. Since Lululemon did not make the same vest this year I turned to (tried and true) Northface. This vest did not disappoint. It's light, somewhat form fitting (true to size) and warm.

Love this vest and it fits perfectly! Unfortunately, the lining is a MUCH brighter pink than the photo and it shows thru to the front at all the diamond stitching. I almost returned it, but I love everything else about it. I hope they correct this problem in the future.

I already own 5 thermoball vests and 3 thermoball jackets, so I know how they should fit. I was extremely disappointed to discover that my usual size (medium) was too tight. So I ordered the large size and it's way too big. Why did you change the sizing? Now neither size fits well. Bummer

I'm 5'4" and this vest comes down to the bottom of my pelvis. It's clearly made for taller women. When zipped, the vest is tight around my hips, but the armholes are too big. It would be perfect if it was cut 2" shorter.

Nice look but not a great fit. The drawstrings are inside the pockets, which is a feature that I don't care for. There are so many name brands to chose from, so NF needs to find new ways to stand out,

I'm often between a small and a medium, and that was the case for me with this vest: the small was too tight at the hips (a little stretch at the bottom hem might have done the trick!) and the medium was too big all around to work as a skiing midlayer, which was what I wanted it for. It's a nice vest, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others; it's just not the right fit for my particular shape.

I didn't use the product yet, but when I tried it the size was too big, and the waist and chest size are not in sync, the size was big , I got a L but I guess I should have got M, I would appreciate if a clearer size charts are available... The weight is amazingly light and is important for traveling and back packing. The problem I had to travel after getting the package so I don't think I cant exchange them :(

I am surprised to find myself not so happy with my purchase. .....i had read previous reviews about how happy and warm was this vest! Not true! ....i wore my vest for a trip i had at lake tahoe recently and i found myself cold wearing this vest i had another one for NF and i missed it not bringing it with me!

My only complaint is that the black is way too shiny and my kids said I looked like I was wearing a garbage bag.

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!

I own several thermoball vests from previous years but this one runs small - and the color was more of an orange than red so unfortunately I had to return 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!
