Customer Reviews The North Face Aconcagua 3 Vest

Well, it's a nice vest. I was very disappointed that your company logo is on it like it was ironed on and not stitched.

This vest gets three stars because it keeps me warm and looks cool, but the stiff collar sticks into my neck the whole time I'm wearing it. I try to angle it out of the way a bit, but it doesn't work. So at least for me (5'4, xs), it's not comfortable enough.

This vest is beautiful, feels great, but is not designed for someone who carries more weight in their hips. I can't zip it up. I kept it because it's pretty and I can wear it open, but I wish they would design these plus sized clothes in a way that accommodates different shapes.

The vest is nice but the logo isn't sewn in any longer, it's stamped on. Looks very tacky. The price sure isn't cheap, so I am very disappointed. I bought a coat too. Same thing. Too much trouble to send back, so I'm stuck.

Saw in a store. Liked everything, except the oversized ironed-on logos. Moving on.

I purchased the 3xl and wear a 3xl in LL Bean this fits, but is slightly uncomfortable zippered up (hopefully this is helpful to plus size ladies). I think this is good for casual wear (think thrown over a hoodie or sweater as you transition from fall to winter). What I can't recommend about it is the fabric. I have never worn a fabric that just attracts stains/shows stains like crazy! Around the inside/outside collar it pulls oil from my hair/skin and stains immediately. Also, if you have to spot treat for any reason it also shows water stains immediately. Outwear like this I would typically wash once every week or two depending on wear, but with this I pretty much have to wash it every time I wear it. Since I've already spent the money I'll deal although until I actually got this I was debating buying in another another, but now I definitely wont. I feel like this requires wayyy too much upkeep for what's supposed to be a hardy outwear item.

A little disappointed in the logo. It is not stitched like my other North Face products. It's an iron on feel which makes it look cheap!

We purchased this vest for me and I have no idea what size I am in your vest. We even purchased the size Large & X-large and neither of them fit. There is another item that we purchased in a size large and it fits me perfectly . Why don't your other items fit me. It's very frustrating.

I have been disappointed with this vest. I have alot of Northface gear in the olive green color and I was excited to have a matching vest to complete the look. The vest is filled with down and is incredibly warm. The fabric is not really thick enough for the down and I often have feathers poking through the fabric. I have other northface pants in this color and they've been fairly stain resistant. Unfortunately this vest just seems to stain with every little thing. After only a handful of wears I'm already seeing staining around the neckline and on the shoulders where my hair falls and I have incredibly skin and hair.

About 75% of my casual clothes are TNF so I have a LOT to compare each new addition to. I was super excited about this vest and happily paid full price for it; however, the sizing is way off on this one. I typically order XXXL or a 3X depending on size range - they always fit perfectly or give me enough room that I can add a light fleece under. This vest though...no. It was SO tight that I had to check the size label twice because I thought it was just me. There's no stretch to this material but I own the EcoBall regular and the parka style so similar materials but no fit issues. While the vest itself was lovely and looked nice, looking like the Michelin man wasn't on my agenda so this went back.

Too large for an xs and no xxs size available for this vest. I'm swimming in it! The collar sits a bit high and hits my jawbone. Northface needs to improve the design of this vest and get the sizing right.

The white vest was filled with down that was dark in many areas I had to return it

It was small and doesn't keep me warm.

Really half a star. I've got several of The North Face's vest from past years. This is horrible. Very cheap. I ordered the same size I have been wearing for 40 years. This was HUGE in all dimensions. The filling is stiff, inflexible, uncomfortable. It would feel terrible under any other outerwear. And the company crest? Printed on. Terrible. Whoever made these, whoever drew up the specs, must have been fired from DOGE.

Not what I expected. Had to return. It's been a week. Still haven't seen my refund. The collar is strange.

The vest felt very cheap and my daughter wore it once and put her hand in the pocket and the pocket tore

I got my vest only to see that the logo was not sewn on but was like an iron on transfer. That over time will probably peel off. What's up with that? I've bought other merchandise and it was all sewn on. Can you say disappointed

Ssdlyl, I had to return this product. I loved the fit and style, but someone stuffed this off white vest with dark stuffing that showed through. It was so disappointing when I received it. The stuffing made the best look dirty. I purchased this online and not in the store. The good news was that two wonderful employees, Andrew and Marietta, at Roseville Galleria store made the situation right. I appreciated their kindness and help very much! Thank you!

I have the original puffer vest and it fits much nicer around the neck. This is too bulky. Returning.

I do have 2 of the older version of this vest and I love them. I wanted one in white but I have a problem with seeing the feathers through the material. So I went back.

No one has mentioned how the white puffer vest has a weird blotchy look on it.! The feathers are a mix between black and white so this looks very odd in white because you can see the dark spots underneath. It's terrible and next time the white vests all need white feathers.!

I ordered 2 different vests. Returned this but kept the 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest. The Retro is almost too much fill but it's a great vest. Great pockets, zipper and hideaway hood. Bring back the 550 with the Retro quality and same features. This Aconcagua Vest didn't have a good fit to me. If this was more like the old style 550 but with upgraded features such as a better quality zipper and hood I would have kept both.

black spots are present on my vest, very disappointed. Its cute and comfy I tried it on but as soon as I did my sister informed me of spots on each side so didnt wear. I got the boots to match :(

I really wanted this vest however it was too small even though I followed the sizing chart. Very disappointing as the size I needed was completely sold out. I had ordered this online and by the time I finally received it the larger size was no longer available.

Very poorly fitted in comparison to other vests. The neck/collar rides high and is uncomfortable m. It's big/oversized and not flattering at all compared to others.
