7 Best The North Face Vests for this Autumn, Men & Women

7 Best The North Face Vests for this Autumn, Men & Women

Vest jackets have been around for a very long time and while many people wear them as a fashion choice, they do actually have a proper protective function, which is that of keeping the core warm.

The core of the body, that is the trunk of our upper body, is very susceptible to the cold and while the extremities cool down in order to maintain the warmth of the core, hypothermia slowly sets in. For this reason, especially in very harsh temperatures, vest jackets are an important layer in providing warmth and protection.

Besides, vests are not as restrictive as a typical jacket, and are also more breathable due to not being completely closed by sleeves, making them a necessary addition to any wardrobe, but especially so for people on the move and those who spend time outdoors year round.

In today’s selection we have included 7 vest jackets for men and women by The North Face, so let’s get right into it.

Those familiar with The North Face have certainly come across the ThermoBall jacket and this is the vest made of the same materials, and with the same name. The ThermoBall vest is made of a 100% Nylon ripstop shell, as well as a lining made of 100% Nylon.

The insulation is 100% Polyester ThermoBall, a synthetic insulation by The North Face in collaboration with PrimaLoft®. It mimics down in its ability to retain warmth, without being affected from moisture, an issue that down runs into when wet.

This vest is very lightweight, with a stand-up collar and two zip pockets on the sides. The shell is water-resistant should you be caught in bad weather, but we’d suggest you wear vest jackets in dry weather since they cannot protect you properly, regardless of how water-resistant the shell is.

There are more than 20 colors available, including: Mid grey, Grape leaf matte, Turkish sea, Venom yellow and Cardinal red.

Aconcagua is a vest made of 100% Polyester, with Heatseeker insulation in the sides and shoulders. The body is insulated with 550-fill power goose down, which is responsibly sourced per the RDS certification. There are two side pockets, which are lined to keep the hands warm, and one chest pocket on the left side.

While the shell is water-resistant, you should avoid wearing this jacket in rainy weather as the down insulation will get wet and lose its ability to insulate, leaving you prone to hypothermia. The main zipper is exposed and there is a high stand-up collar which is also padded.

This is a slightly bulky vest, designed to be worn on its own rather than layering as it will result in excessive bulkiness, which is never comfortable.

There are 10 colors to choose from, which include: Asphalt grey, Cardinal red, Monument grey, Shady blue, Tnf black, Fusebox grey, Golden brown, Botanical garden green, New taupe green and Mid grey.
