Sneak Preview #21: The North Face Nuptse 2 Vest

We've already showcased the Nuptse 2 Jacket, so it's only fair that we now switch the limelight to the Nuptse 2 Vest.

The Nuptse 2 Vest is lighter than the original and has a few more baffles to give it a sleeker more active look.

The vest looks fantastic and will perform brilliantly thanks to the stitched-through down construction providing insulation from the cold, the mini rip stop and DWR treated body keeps the down in place while shrugging off light rain, sleet and snow.


Other features on the Nuptse 2 include a double layer of nylon taffeta on the shoulders for increased abrasion resistance while wearing a backpack, and it's zip-in compatible with North Face fleeces so if it's really cold you can gear up for any weather or activity. The Nuptse 2 ticks all the boxes that it should for a mid-weight down vest, and it has the added bonus of evolving from the ever popular Nuptse.
