What GearGuys say: If you have the Nuptse Jacket, then you shouldn't be without the vest.  Perfect for those days when the jacket is just too warm but maintaining a cosy core is still the go.  The high loft down offers excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and allows the vest to be compressed and stuffed away in it's own internal pocket.  Always a good back up plan if you're uncertain about the weather.  Absolutely sensational for a Spring day out on the slopes.
