Customer Reviews The North Face ThermoBall™ Eco Vest

Love it

I love this vest, it's super versatile and that perfect "wear any season" weight. It's lightweight enough to wear over a long sleeve in the summer when you're camping, or over a layer on a fall run. The fit is great, it's long enough that it hits right at my hips. I bought the camo version and I love that the color is a little bit darker, I feel like I can wear it with any solid colors and it's little bit more fun than your traditional black.

I picked shiny black for this vest. I like it a lot. It looks great and athletic which fits me personality and lifestyle. Personally I think it's better than the Patagonia vest (micro puff). It's thicker but the collar doesn't poke me like Patagonia. The only thing that I wish this vest had is a hood. It would be 5 stars for me.

I like that it is a bit longer than other vests

Love this vest for hiking! It's lightweight and packable when it gets too warm! Just a little longer than I would like as I am petite.

I wear this to work often in the event it's chilly. Also take it with us to the mountains every weekend and an extra later when we are out and about. Love vests so this is just one more in the collection.

Make this again in navy

Great for cold around town days, hiking, skiing. Well made, love front inside zip pocket. A little darer color than shown.

Stylish

Fit in this vest ran a little bigger than usual, not as slim cut as previous versions. The color is a gorgeous soft mint. Great weight for in between weather

This vest fits very well and has a nice, slim silhouette. However, it is NOT warm. Not in the least. It's great if you want a very little protection from the wind, but it'll provide very little warmth.

Great around town

I love the colors, this vest is lightweight and very comfortable! It's great for casual wear as well as workout wear!

It is light weight & comfortable

This vest fits well and has a great shape. Love the material and it’s not too puffy which makes you look fat.

Great vest bad color I have it in black and thought I was getting a gray vest

This vest fits big and is very long with big arm holes. It's a weird cloro as well. Not really grey, a bit greenish.

Big, and felt kinda cheap. Nothing great I’m returning it.

Loved this product when it first arrived - effective at keeping you warm and I really like the look - but the pocket seams are already coming apart after a week of use. Not what I expected from North Face. If you're looking for high quality and durability, you might want to look elsewhere.

I thought this "camo" pattern would be cool. But my husband agreed, it looks like someone spilled milk or bleach on one panel of the vest. The pattern needed to be bolder to make it look good. Plus the fit was boxy. It was not flattering. Sorry, but I returned it.

I had to return the vest. I wanted something packable but it was too shiny on the outside. I am a size 6 and was told to order a small and it was a little tight to go over other clothes.

I really wanted to love this as I'm a huge fan of Thermoball, but the new Eco version stuff doesn't fit the same. It's very boxy. The seams are straight and not flattering. The black matte vest looked and felt cheaply made, not like the jacket I purchased a couple of seasons ago. The site's recommended size was too big, but the quality made up my mind about returning vs. exchange. Unzipped it looked terrible.

Love the look but not very flattering on me. I prefer a slightly more shaped look.

Loved the color, and coordinating zippers.The vest fits to the body. However, this is not a warm vest. I live in central AZ, where it is not cold this vest does nothing to keep you warm. I am returning.

Unfortunately the camo print is less pronounced in person than in the studio photograph. The vest almost looks solid black, so I will be returning as I have a black vest. As far as sizing, I am 5'7". 125 pounds and I got extra small. I like a snug fit and this was perfect. The vest itself is cute ,good fit. Pretty disappointed that the print cannot really be seen.
