I'm loving my Gotham jacket. The down fill makes it very warm on the cold Chicago days, but it's not bulky and sweaty like other coats I've had. The HyVent seems to work well at keeping me at just the right temperature. The pockets are plentiful, but not very big. They also don't hold things in well, so I wouldn't put stuff in there and go rolling around in the snow. The cut of the jacket is a bit more slim and it doesn't look huge and puffy; the elastic sections at the waste help with this. I like how the fur on the hood is removable -- sometimes it's a bit scratchy against my neck. Overall I'd recommend the coat if you want something warm and stylish. Should be a nice coat for the average person.

On paper this jacket looks like a winner, but there are a couple of things to consider. Cut size is large, all of my NF jackets are large, (6'-185). A medium in this jacket is just fine. Front main zipper is a wimp, tough man's jacket with a little wimp of a zipper. Front hand warmer pockets are too small. NF makes enough great jackets to know how to make a good useful pocket. A couple of minor fixes and this jacket is perfect.

My Husband hunted for this jacket since he saw it on one guy in NY Subway. So now he owns it for almost 2 yrs. He likes it a lot and i didn't hear any complains regarding this stuff. This Jacket has "Bomber" Style fit (just a lil bit below the waistline), is very comfortable and extremely warm. Sz Large is perfect for 5'10" and 170 lbs man. Quality and Style are unbeatable, you cannot get wrong with Gotham!

Bought an XL, seems true to size. I'm 6'2" 215lbs. This will replace a NF Verdi jacket. Verdi was heavier and runs way too big. Love it so far, the elastic cuffs are nice, not to mention the removable fur trim. Seems durable enough to snowboard in as well as having good street looks. Only neg is the hood is huge, it swallows my head, but could be good for use with a helmet.

So far I've owned two types of winter coats: really warm ones that look stupid, or really stylish ones that aren't warm. The Gotham changes all that -- it's warm and stylish. Win-win.

Kept me warm when temperatures got to 10 below here in Chicago, and is still great to wear when it's in the upper 20s. The elastic waist and cuffs help keep the wind from getting in, and give it that fitted look. The hood is a bit bulky at times, but it does work.

A+ from me, I know I'll have this thing for a long time.

TNF Gotham is a great jacket. The subdued night camo pattern with a fur collar looks sharp compared to others in its class (which doesn't come close). You'll find the jacket light weight but super warm and breathable. Its wind and water-proof. The shell is similar to Gore-Tex material in the durability department but quieter. This jacket is by far the best winter jacket I've ever found. I honestly couldn't ask for a better jacket than the Gotham. Because after having a Gotham I know there isn't one - Try it and see what I blabbing about okay!

I replaced the Hawthorn I had for a week with this. The Gotham is a better fit for me. The elastic bottom seals in heat better. I could feel cold air coming up from the bottom in the Hawthorn. The Gotham hood is also more practical because it's not as huge as the Hawthorn (can't see a thing in it). I hope you are not paying $299 for the black and grey. The price tag on the jacket has $279 on it. I called Backcounty about it and they credited me back the difference. I told them about the pricing error and I don't know why they still didn't fix it. The solid colors are $279 on all other sites (Altrec, Mountaingear...).

This jacket doesn't play nice with cold weather. If your tired of being cold this is the jacket for you. BTW, its waterproof, windproof and durable. The secret front radio pocket and removable fur collar was a nice touch. Great job North Face!

I've seen a couple of people here in NYC wearing this jacket but mostly only in black color. Having own a couple of TNF jackets including steeps, extremes, transformers, I decided to switch it up a little. So I did my research and found the backcountry website. I got very excited when I found out that there were other colorways for this jacket. What really caught my eye is the Black camo colorway. The gearheads on this website answered all my questions and were very helpful. I bought the jacket the day after. I'm about 5'8" & 175 lbs. and a sz. M fits me perfectly. All i can say about this jacket is that it's very warm and stylish. It also has enough pockets to stow away stuff. The day I "braked in" the jacket, it was about 30 degrees out and it was raining sleet and snow. I only wore a t-shirt w/ a sweatshirt and I didn't even feel any cold. When I got on the train, I've already gotten a couple of "good stares" and some even came up to me and asked where I got the jacket from. Very satisfied with this jacket that I'm thinking of buying another pair on a different colorway.

Awesome looks in blk camo, I'm 5'6" 170 and I was swimmin in a med. I normally wear a med in everything. I exchanged it for a small because of the cut of the jacket and I just love the way the small fits. This is an unusually large cut size jacket, might consider down sizing when you buy.hand warmer pockets a bit small, nice fur trim and insulated hood.

Just received my jacket this June so can't say how warm it will keep me. What I can say is the materiel looks to be first class and the fit is spot on. This thing also has enough
pockets it could double as a day pack, only wish it had been made in the USA. The other reviewers have already
said how warm and wind proof it is so looks like I did the right thing by picking this one.

This Jacket is very warm. Kept me toasty warm for the entire 5 hours that I was outside in AK when the temp was -37 F and the wind was whipping. I'm 6ft tall 180lbs and a Lg fit perfectly. Highly recommend this Jacket.

I saw it a few months ago but i din't know where to buy it. i had been lokking for it until i found it at this website. This jacket its so cool, i give it a 5 stars

I have 2 years with the Jacket and I must admit, It's the best clothing investment I've made with regards to gearing up for the cold weather in NYC. Especially in frigid conditions, this coats does the job. It keeps me warm to point that I forget that Im outside. Furthermore is light and very durable. Although is a little pricey it's worth every penny.

I ordered this jacket right after Thanksgiving, and received it right in time for the cold New England weather to kick in. It's only been a little over a month, but it's already been a hell of a winter. Ice storms knocking out power for days at a time, wind chills pushing temperatures well below zero, and it's only gonna get worse come February. And even though it's only been a month, I couldn't even tell you how many times I hear someone comment about how cold it is, and I honestly don't even feel it. I just shrug my shoulders and keep walking. Even with a t-shirt, just zip this thing up, flip up the gigantic hood, and you'd swear it's spring. I used to dread going out to shovel or clean off the car, but now I'm looking for reasons to put on this jacket and get out in the cold.

I absolutely love this jacket, it fits perfectly and keeps me warm on the coldest days. The black camo color is badass and I get mad complements on it everywhere I go.

WasSup ALL! I am from BROOKLYN N.Y.C!
let me make this short... So let me tell you something about this jacket, This jackets awesome!I have this jacket in graphite grey. the colors nice, u can match it with almost everything This jackets awesome! its very warm with the 550 goose down ,its not too long and not too short in length .what i love the most are the sleeve band and the waist band that traps all the warm body heat inside this jacket ,so the sleeve and the waist band gives it a G.Q Look in style and also with the removable Eskimo style warmth fur trim hood and it is removable. I like it better with the Eskimo style warmth fur trim because it feels and looks P.I.M.P out!! Like......."BaLLa" other than that this jacket is filled with many pockets and also light weight when i carry it in the movie theaters and around when i feel hot.

very warm ,keeps wind out ,I love it for that especially ,winter in N.Y. I am not happy with the pockets they are small and when u walk the dog otherwise its great

The last guy from NYC is a douche bag, otherwise nice jacket.
