TNF Nuptse Vest 700 REVIEW Powerball🟠 vs Sharkbreeder⚫️: The Puffy Gods Among Us

Hello everyone! Today, we’re diving into a comparison of the NUPTSE 700 Vest, featuring two of the most talked-about batches: Powerball and Shark Breeder. Here’s how they stack up: Shipping Time * Shark Breeder⚫️: Shipped just 2 days after purchase. * Powerball🟠: Took around 7–8 days to ship.If speed matters, Shark Breeder wins here. * Texture: Both vests feel smooth, but Shark Breeder’s material has a slightly glossier, almost plastic-like finish that reflects more light. * Density: Shark Breeder’s material feels denser, which isn’t necessarily a sign of lower quality, but rather a different approach to the build. * * TNF and 700 Stitching: * Positioning: Shark Breeder’s “700” number is slightly lower on the vest compared to Powerball exactly 1.6 cm lower. We can tell that in the first H there's a minor flaw that makes the letter wider but it's barely noticeable. Back badge is great. * Stitch Quality: Powerball’s stitching is finer and more precise, reflecting its higher price point. Shark Breeder’s stitching is a bit rougher but still decent for its cost * * Fit: * Shark Breeder⚫️has a slightly wider cut, offering more room to adjust to the desired width. * Powerball🟠has a slimmer profile, giving it a more tailored look. * Warmth: Both vests are impressively warm.Just take note that I only recommend this when layering properly, no jacket alone will keep you warm in below freezing temperatures, be safe. However: * Shark Breeder⚫️: Feels like it has more filling in the upper part of the vest than the lower part. * Powerball🟠: The filling feels more evenly distributed, with slightly more focus on the lower part of the vest. * FYI they both came in a tiny box so maybe that compressed the filling. * Price and Value * Powerball🟠: Currently priced at $48, though it was once listed for $27 before the page went down. * Shark Breeder⚫️: Consistently priced at $25.Given these prices, Shark Breeder offers excellent value for its consistent affordability. Powerball, while slightly more expensive, justifies its price with better stitching and a more balanced structure. * ConclusionFor the non-trained eye, Shark Breeder is a solid choice. Its minor flaws don’t detract from the overall structure, making it a great budget option. However, if you can afford to pay a little more, Powerball is worth it for its refined details and higher build quality.Let me know in the comments which batch you'd pick or if you'd like to see more reviews of TNF batches!
