The North Face Nimble Jacket - Men's - 2009

The Men’s Nimble Jacket is The North Face’s most-breathable softshell, ideal for aerobic activities in chilly, windy, damp weather. Zip up the Nimble Jacket when you climb a fourteener or hike to the climbing crag. Not only does this jacket breathe so you don’t sweat to death when you exert, it’s wind-resistant (10 CFM wind permeability rating) and water-repellent to protect you from the elements. A performance fit means you can layer this jacket under a hardshell should conditions deteriorate.

Bottom Line: Move fast in inclement weather without sweaty, clammy consequences.

One of favourite jackets

By:
April 8, 2009

This jacket is one of the most versatile jackets I own. It is lightweight, surprisingly water resistant and highly breathable. I have used this jacket for skiing, hiking, biking and even casual wear to restaurants. It is a perfect all round jacket and is great for layering.

Which North Face jacket should I get for the cool fall weather

Which North Face jacket should I get for the cool fall weather of San Diego, the Nimble or the Pneumatic? I'm looking for a breathable jacket that can be worn indoors as well. Also I'm 5'10" 165 lbs what is the best size for me medium or small ( I don't like my clothes baggy)?

Again a keeper!!!

By:
April 17, 2009

I just purchased my second TNF Apex Nimble jacket about a month ago. This jacket is never disappointing, blocks wind fairly well even while on a bike (which is a big deal for me). This coat partnered with a Patagonia Capilene 2 base layer make even the most bitter and windy days on the bike warm and comfy and still breathable. I do a lot of hiking and schooling and always have a pack on of some kind and even on my last jacket I have never seen any wear. The Apex fabric is incredibly flexible and surprisingly durable. The jacket sheds light rain and heavy snow, if it does manage to get wet it dries super fast, doesn't stain easy and looks great to boot (Indian clay is an awesome color FYI). This coat really is the one you will wear for every activity, all the others will be kept in the closet for extreme weather. Thanks NF and Backcountry!!!

Spring Jacket

By:
April 13, 2009

My son wanted a jacket to wear around that would be good for Spring. He is 5'11' and around 170 with a muscular build. He loves the jacket (large) and wears it to school and for sports.It is unlined and not too warm or bulky. He likes a loose cut and it fits him perfectly. He is tough on clothing and the jacket still looks new. I told him if he outgrows it I am going to grab it..

I'm 5'9, 185 lbs. I usually wear a 40R suit. Can I fit

I'm 5'9, 185 lbs. I usually wear a 40R suit. Can I fit a medium? I don't want too baggy, but not too tight either. Any advice would be great! Thanks.

For reference I'm 5'9, 150, 38r, 32 waist, and the med fits me about perfect - I wear my stuff a little baggy. Since this is a light coat, you tend to wear this with a fairly thick layer under which can snug it up on you.

Favorite of mine

By:
February 27, 2009

I absolutely love this jacket! It's all that I wore through the winter while walking around on campus, hiking, bike commuting, etc. I'm 5'5, 145lbs and got the small and it fits perfect for me. Worked for me in 35 degree weather. Great quality jacket.

Hey I was wondering about size as I have heard that North Face

Hey I was wondering about size as I have heard that North Face can run small. I am 6'1" and 185, but i tend to wear medium shirts, so M or L. Thanks.

You're really on the cusp. Kinda depends on the fit you want and what you'll be doing. My main concern would be length, but if you won't be doing much involving arms over your head, etc. and you want a slim fit, I think a MED would be fine. (I'm 6' and 190lbs and usually wear a MED.)

By:

love the jacket however the size tends to run small on some t.n.f. products. the performance fit in the listing usually means they are tight.

Great Lightweight Jacket

By:
February 10, 2009

I picked this jacket up on SteepandCheap in green and gray, which I'm guessing is a discontinued color, and it's been a great lightweight jacket. It's a nice windjacket, or with a fleece or mid-layer underneath, it's great down to 30 degrees or so. The fit is fairly true to size, though I would prefer it be an inch or two longer. Overall, it's a great spring or fall jacket.
