Review on North Face Womens Nuptse Heather by Laurie Thomas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nuptse is missing a key element

This vest is missing one important detail - a two-way zipper. My original was stolen. So I jumped at the chance to buy another one on sale. I also asked a question about Revain, the answer reassured me that the zip goes both ways. Not so. I made my purchase to replace a real Nuptse. In cold weather, being able to leave the top buttoned up as needed makes a world of difference when adjusting the inside of the vest, accessing pockets or pants, and not having to freeze to fully unbutton or remove the vest. It was a rare item that did not discriminate against me as a woman. Most North Face men's vests and jackets have two-way zips. I am considering a return as I have often used a two way zip.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Generally good, but...
