Pros: Nice Design and features. Especially the offset of the main zipper and the shaping that follows elbows contours. Left arm pocket is very practical too.

Cons: I would have preferred the Velcro-type cuff feature, which is more suitable for wind conditions and of course when you use it with gloves. In terms of isolation it does not feel warmer than the TNF Apex Bionic (...which is better priced by the way)

nice but really tight around armpit

Took this soft shell out to the ski slopes in New Mexico and performed very well. I was very pleased with the soft shell material and not an ounce of water/snow penetrated the jacket! Although the jacket is not windproof, the soft shell kept me very warm with the help of a combination of base layers. Two to be exact. One light, which had a longer turtle neck feel, and a medium weight layer. The average temperature for our trip was about freezing the whole time and as long as I kept slightly active, I felt great. I purchased the slate grey and received many compliments on the zipper to jacket contrast. The layout of the zippers is another cool aspect of the jacket. They are placed just where you most need them! If I could add anything to this jacket, it would be and inside security pocket and maybe some velcro on the sleeves...but that was fixed with the gloves and all. Other that what I mentioned, this jacket is an awesome buy with its great performance and stylish looks!

Excellent for cold windy conditions.

Fits a little looser than the Apex Bionics. Slightly warmer as well due to the high collar and slightly thicker fleece lining.

Very Pleased. Love the Blue Ink. Everyone around here has the black or black and grey north face jackets. Haven't ran into anyone else yet thats also sporting this bad boy.

good!! This one not really like a " WindWall Jacket". However, if u have some clothes under this jacket will be very good.If U wear one T-shirt inside to walking around Seattle 43F to 33F , not fun at all!! The "resistan" for rain that is good.

I bought this jacket to wear to work on days where it was blowing like crazy, as well as to use when I go snowboarding on warmer days. This jacket is super-warm and functions well by itself, or as an inner layer on freezing days. The fleece inside is nice as well, all around great jacket. I found that the length of the arms in this jacket are longer than my S.T.H. that I bought about 4 years ago. I'm a regular length for all of my other jackets, but this one just seems to be 2" too long in the arm. It keeps me warm and fits snugly under myy gloves so I can't complain.

I have had this jacket for about 6 months now and love it..it has nice style,very versitle and is quite warm..i wear it as an outer layer commuting to work..it is practcally waterproof and windproof...even looks nice cruising around town.

SOOOO... GOOD!!!!
