From Backcountry.com:
"Insulated with 700-fill down, The North Face Men's Nuptse Vest is extremely warm, lightweight and highly compressible. Wear this down vest alone in cold, dry conditions and sport the Nuptse under a weatherproof shell during wet winter storms. The compressible Nuptse Vest fits easily into your pack, so you'll have a warm core layer for lunch breaks or chilly camping nights. The North Face Nuptse Vest's sewn-through construction keeps down from shifting, which reduces cold spots, and a double layer of taffeta at the shoulders adds durability under your backpack straps."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"'The Nuptse Vest is ideal for layering. It?s a sleeveless version of the classic, high loft Nuptse Jacket.'"

From REI:
"The North Face Nuptse vest can be worn on its own in cold, dry conditions or as a warm layer under a waterproof shell when the weather turns nasty. Polyester shell fabric is wind resistant, water resistant and downproof; double-layer shoulder fabric increases durability. Premium 700-fill-power goose down is extremely warm, lightweight and compressible. Sewn-through construction keeps down from shifting. Full-length front zipper has an internal draft flap and collar is lined with soft microfiber. Features two zip hand pockets and an internal stash pocket."

"I have found this vest very warm and it can be used on many different situations. I live in Finland, and this winter it has been extremely cold, the temperature has dropped below -25 C. But with Pumori Fleece and Nuptse vest under my TNF Mountain jacket it was feeling fine."

"This vest is comparable to a human toaster. I've worn it on below freezing days with nothing but a T-shirt, my arms somehow even stayed warm due to my body overheating. Keep in mind that I happen to produce heat like a furnace, but this jacket would keep even the most reptilian of buyers warm."

"I am very pleased with the vest. It's exceptionaly warm and windproof (or at least highly wind resistant). The one flaw is that feathers may come out of the seams and lining but it's not enough to make a difference."

"This vest is worth its weight in gold! I find it extremely useful when I am in my bag after a day of hiking. When temperatures drop this vest acts like a heater. Extremely too hot to hike or climb in but it serves its purpose when the day is done!"
