Description of The North Face Windwall 1 Fleece Vest - Men's:
The North Face WindWall 1 Vest provides core protection from arctic blasts. Made from The North Face's WindWall fleece, this vest blocks over 90-percent of the wind, meaning you stay 90-percent warmer when the gusts pick up. The extra 10-percent goes toward breathability, so you won't overheat or get all clammy if you're working up a sweat. Wear the WindWall 1 Vest while skiing or riding, hiking or climbing. As a layer, or as an outer shell when it's warmer, this vest performs.
Bottom Line: Wind chill? You won't feel wind chill in TNF's WindWall 1 Vest.
I didn't expect such a wonderfully versatile product when I bought this vest. It's quite windproof, much more so than the fleece found on TNF's more popular Denali jacket/vest. This vest is fairly light in material so you can layer it on top of a tee and underneath a technical shell. Styling is great but be sure you order the right size (I wear a 42R suit jacket and am happy with a Medium for this vest). I've washed my vest about a dozen times since I've had it and the fleece is starting to pile. Despite this, it still looks presentable.
I have had this vest for about a year. I love it. It is great to have as a layer under a shell and it dose stop the wind pretty well. the pockets are very deep witch I like. I want to get the full jacket version of it.
