Coat a little small

By:
December 29, 2008

Ended up having to send it back because the sleeves were to short. My son's measurements fell within the Large size but when he put it on the body length was a little short as well as the arm length. Great communication with the BackCountry staff and decided to get an x-large in another jacket. XL was not available in the one I originally purchased. He is 6" tall and weighs approx 180 and should wear a large by measurement??? The quality of the jacket looks great and the staff is fantastic I am looking forward to the other coat getting here.

Great Multi-purpose Jacket

By:
August 25, 2008

I bought this to replace my Columbia Bugaboo Jacket, that I had for 10 years. Hopefully this jacket will last just as long. So far the jacket is working out great, it kept me warm all last winter. My only complaint is that the hood is not a hide away.

Well, I've been going back and forth between Columbia's

Well, I've been going back and forth between Columbia's 3 in 1 jackets and TNF's Triclimates and it's the 270g microfleece vs the heatseeker insulants. I'm just curious on how warm the heatseeker insulant is compared to the 270 microfleece that Columbia offers on their Blade Run and Treeline Parkas. Assuming that all you wear is a T-Shirt underneath, what's the comfort zone of those jackets, the Amplitude, and if possible, the other 2 jackets/parkas. Thanks.

With the recent cold snap in NY + the snow, I've been shoveling in the low teens with the Amplitude, t-shirt jeans, and a hat and have actually had to open the pit zips because I was too warm. I like cold much more then heat though, so my comfort zone may be lower then yours.

Great jacket(s)

By:
March 5, 2009

Overall, a wonderful jacket, but there are a few design flaws.

First off, the velcro on the sleeves of the outer shell makes the cuff fit and feel a bit awkward, but I got used to this after just a few wears.

The arm length on the insulated layer is a bit short (I'm 6'1" and purchased the XL) while the outer shell is just a hair too long.

The hood is quite massive, and I am glad it is removable. I only attach it when I know for sure I'll be out in wet weather.

When used in combination, the jacket is incredibly warm without being bulky, and the HUGE pit zips kept me from being too warm on long treks in snowfall.

The outer shell is also fantastic in the wind. I wore it around town on a recent trip to Chicago, and I could not have been more pleased with its performance.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase, and if North Face ever works out the minor kinks, I'd definitely buy another one.

had a good fit, not too long, pockets have good space,the inside jacket is very thin but it has been keeping me warm and dry. Just got it yesterday and today it is 10% OFF, cause i bought the last black L they wouldn't even credit me the difference. i wish BACK COUNTRY would take a better look at taking care of their customers.

great jacket!!

By:
January 19, 2009

Jacket fits, looks and works in every way imaginable. This jacket is highly flexible. Ive used it for hiking in freezing rain, and snowboarding. whenever i wear it im always comfortable. It does well in very cold temps and it was also comfortable to wear when afternoon temps got into the 40's on the mountain by stripping off a few under layers. It does pick up some dust, pet hair easily but otherwise its very durable, highly cleanable and very tough. I went sliding down ice while snowboarding several times the jacket holds up like a champ. It stops wind and moisture from getting to your core.

Ive owned it now for about 3 months, not sure how i lived without one. Im 5'11" 180lbs. and the Large size fits me very well, plenty of room for movement.

Wonderful!

By:
February 2, 2009

I wanted to have enough time wearing this to really give a good review.
So I've been wearing it on a daily basis for over 2 months now, and love it.
Couple of size specs, I'm 6'1", 200 lbs, 42" chest, 31" waist, 34/35 arm got a large and it fits fine. Overall quality has been great. It's kept me warm and dry while it was raining in the mid 30's, kept me warm in -20 windchill( i did have a patagonia baselayer underneath), and the shell is great as just a rainjacket/windbreaker with the liner removed. It also breathes great, no clamminess here!

On the other hand, the liner really doesn't look "right" if you tried to wear it as a standalone jacket, but i don't plan on doing that. On a plus side the liner zips are pretty standardized, so I can put my columbia fleece in as a liner if i want, as well as other TNF fleeces/jackets.

I do notice the texture of the hyvent makes it show dirt like crazy, but it generally brushes off pretty easily.

Overall, I would definitely buy this jacket again. I've not had any problems and it's absolutely great!

At 6 ft 150 lbs the medium fits a little loose but thats a good thing so I can toss a mens small 100wt fleece underneath. The hood is difficult to adjust and for the price (I paid full)
it should be a three way adjustable. It's an active jacket so standing around below freezing it won't make the cut. The shell has an inside pocket thats not accessable with the liner zipped in.

Used for Urban Commuting

By:
December 29, 2008

I live in Chicago, so I primarily use the jacket for commuting (walking to bus/train/office). The jacket has done an excellent job with the winter thrown at it so far. Its held up under freezing rain, winds, 6+ inches of snow, and sub-zero temperatures (F). Normally I'm just wearing wool pants, and a dress shirt underneath and the jacket cuts it. Closer to 0, the jacket starts to give a little, but that's understandable given how few layers I'm wearing underneath. Overall, great quality and a good buy. FYI, I'm 5'10", 152 Lbs, the small jacket fits me perfectly

Great jacket! It's crazy warm and dry. Wore it for an hour in the 33 degree rain at work while watching some outside tests and was the only dry guy when we were done. Fits well. Snaps are a little weak where the hood attaches but I took the hood off anyway for now. Lifetime warranty on them so if I have any problems I'll deal with it then. Great customer service...first class. Quick shipping and their prices were far better than other stores. Thanks guys!

Great Value, Great Price, Great Jacket

By:
December 29, 2008

I was considering many different manufacturers when I was shopping for a new jacket about a year ago and decided on this one. It is hands down the best jacket I have ever owned. The shell is awesome and dry. I just wore it for 8 hours snowboarding in the rain and did not get wet at all. If you are reading this and seriously considering buying this piece of equipment and would not even look at another jacket. The price is quite reasonable when compared to other 3-in-1's and North Face has been making great stuff for decades. Remember Patrick Swayze's back pack from "Red Dawn"? Bottom line this jacket is great and you will not be disappointed.

Amplitude Jacket

By:
January 8, 2009

SIZED TOO SMALL !!
Seems like a great coat, but had to return it because of sizing. When I pay this kind of money for quality clothing, it is usually cut to fit better than cheap clothing.. However, this jacket, priced at over $200, was sized at what one might find at a discount store at 1/4 the price. What a shame, and what a loss to we, the consumers, that you have not yet solved this sizing problem!!!
In a case like this, we all lose.

i got this to supplement my moonstone goretex 3l jacket which ive used for the past decade and still love to wear. For the price this is a great jacket with the zip in liner, compared to spending nearly $400 on a goretex shell. Although the hyvent material isnt as good as goretex, it's still a great jacket and keeps me warm in frigid temps as well as dry. Just a warning though, the size does run a bit large. I'm 5'6" 175 and there was too much space inside the size large jacket, especially if you take the liner out. I'll be exchanging mine for a medium.
