Good quality
Still one of the good qualities out there even on a pricey side. I have one for myself

So disappointed
I had been wanting the black and white 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest for months, only to get it and be totally disappointed by it. The white fabric is too thin allowing the black parts of the feathers to be visible, making it look like a bunch of stains throughout the vest. Sadly I had to return it.

I liked it so much I bought two!
I bought this vest for my daughter who has worn it every day since. Stylish, well made, and reasonably priced. I even bought a matching vest for myself!

Want in all the colors!
Perfect for midwesterners who have to endure arctic like temperatures in the winter. This will keep you nice and warm.
