The North Face Prism Optimus Down Jacket - Men's - 2008

The North Face Men's Prism Optimus Jacket uses a combination of 700-fill goose down and PrimaLoft One synthetic insulation to provide versatile warmth during cold mountain pursuits. The Prism Optimus Jacket features a down body with a Primaloft collar and hood, as well as a weather resistant coating to help ward off moisture. The insulation combo gives you the high warmth to weight ratio of down and the warm-when-wet properties of Primaloft. The North Face used welded baffles to eliminate cold spots and increase compressibility. The hood stows in the collar, and the jacket packs down into its included stuff sack when it’s time to climb.

Bottom Line: The Optimus is a prime jacket for chilly belays and wintry mountain environments.

Prism Optimus Down Jacket On The Pika Glacier

The Prism Optimus was great for 7 days on the Pika Glacier. The first night it got down to -20 and I was warm.

Light, warm, comfortable

This jacket is very warm, comfortable, and pretty light for the warmth. The hood is insulated and stows into the collar which zips shut. I was able to actually stuff the entire jacket into one of the front hand pockets (Although this is not an intentional feature, I was just testing to see if you could) To give you an idea of the compressibility. I do not recommend doing this though as it is not designed to do that and you risk damaging some of the seams as it is a tight squeeze.

I am sending my 16 yr old son on a group trip to Winter Park,

I am sending my 16 yr old son on a group trip to Winter Park, CO Dec 30 for 3 - 4 days of skiing; we live in Houston, Texas. Will this jacket be warm enough? I see that it's not waterproof. I'm also looking into the North Face Inlux Insulated Jacket.

This jacket will be plenty warm, as long as it's not too wet out, but Winter Park in late December will be very cold and dry, so that shouldn't be an issue.
