The REI Nevis women's jacket is a story in versatility. On a cold morning, start off with the full jacket, then, as the day warms, remove the hood and sleeves and use it as a core-warming vest.

  • Nevis works well as a stand-alone jacket or vest in dry conditions and layers easily underneath a shell in wet weather; plus, the stylish quilt patterning always looks great
  • Pertex® Microlight Eco ripstop nylon shell and lining are lightweight and durable, and offer silky softness that enhances the insulation's loft; windproof to 50 mph
  • Insulated with high-performance, water-resistant PrimaLoft® Eco synthetic microfiber to provide soft, non-bulky warmth for very little weight
  • Hypoallergenic Eco fibers come from recycled plastic bottles
  • Sleeves zip off to convert jacket to a vest, and fully adjustable hood zips off to save weight
  • Keep track of the hood and sleeves by stashing them inside the interior zip lumbar pocket; this pocket also double as a stuff sack and makes a nice pillow in a pinch
  • Windflap backs front zipper; chin guard protects against zipper abrasion
  • Features a hem drawcord; stretch inner cuffs reduce wind entry
  • REI Nevis jacket features zip handwarmer pockets and a zippered interior pocket with headphone port
  • Nevis is trim fitting yet allows full range of motion

Imported.

      Comments about REI Nevis Jacket - Women's:

      I initially planned on wearing the Nevis as a midlayer with my REI Centre Peak jacket for skiing and especially cold days, but I can see it becoming my go-to dry-weather winter coat. It's light, snuggly warm, and fits perfectly over a t-shirt and sweater without feeling bulky or baggy. Because it's not down, I don't feel like I have to worry about getting it wet if the weather turns while I'm out. I also love that the hood fits over my ski helmet, and that I can zip off (and stow!) the sleeves if I start getting too warm but still need a little heat around my core.

        Comments about REI Nevis Jacket - Women's:

        My boyfriend bought a lightweight Mountain Hardwear Primaloft jacket (We both love it!) I "borrowed" it everytime we went camping/hiking; had to get my own! I read all the reviews and loved the colorful Patagonias but...this one has a removable hood and-yes-hoods are goofy but not when the wind and rain pick up and you can take it off!...the sleeves are removable: I wore the vest over a tech shirt for a rainy, chilly MTB ride in Moab...they stash in the pocket, inside lower back AND the whole jacket fits in there as well; AND there are soft fleece cuffs sewn inside the sleeves. I've already worn it hiking, biking, camping; next to the fire when it gets chilly. Super light and fits perfect; I'm tall and thin-got a medium. The black has a steel grey lining and looks great. This jacket has so many good extra features-and-yes-it kept me warm!

          Great fit- and love the versatility in removing the sleeves to make a vest, or the hood. Also, it packs down into a pouch for easy travel!

          Slimming fit, even through the arms- much more flattering on me than the Marmot Venus or the Patagonia down jacket :)

          I wish it was made out of down, but the polyfill insulation will dry quicker and will probably be more practical.

            Comments about REI Nevis Jacket - Women's:

            I purchased this jacket in advance of a trip to the Atacama desert. Our target destinations included a number of sites above 4400 meters (roughly 14,000 ft) known to be both cold and windy. The sites did not disappoint (they were indeed cold and windy), but the Nevis jacket provided more than ample protection. Moreover, the ability to disassemble the jacket (hood; sleeves) enabled me to pack the jacket in my carry on luggage (I firmly believe that there are 2 kinds of luggage: carry on and lost!). The only negative I might mention is the length of the sleeves: too long for my unusually short arms. However, a simple rollup of a few inches solved the 'problem'.

                  I will be going to California in spring and the weather will be warm one minute and cold the next. I need something that could be a jacket one minute and a vest next. This jacket made it so I will not have to carry more items plus it is very comfortable and warm.

                      Please bring back REI's original Primaloft hooded jacket. I've had one for 5-6 years but the zipper just broke. This convertible jacket does not fit well because the armholes need to be small and high in order for the vest part to fit without gaping. Plus the plastic large-tooth zippers are heavy, and the zip-off sleeves and removable hood add even more weight (as compared with attached sleeves and hood). I wanted a technical non-down lightweight hooded jacket -- guess REI doesn't make one anymore.

                      There are lots of these jackets languishing in my local REI -- no wonder! They fit very strangely, with very long sleeves but tight upper torso and armholes. Not a good technical jacket because too tight to wear with arms above shoulder height.

                        Comments about REI Nevis Jacket - Women's:

                        This jacket has a feminine cut and it doesn't look bulky. It is warm and versatile. I got the blue and it is vibrant and looks great! I am 5'4" 125 and the med. fits perfect with a fleece underneath.
