Chilly belay ledges, all-day ski tours, and cold nights in camp all require the superlight, highly compressible warmth of The North Face Men’s Thunder Down Jacket. When you’re skinning up or out on the sharp end, stow the Thunder Jacket in its own pocket and clip it to your harness or stuff it in your pack. At lunchtime or during a quick re-rack, the Thunder’s 800-fill down fluffs up quickly for a toasty shot of core warmth.
Bottom Line: Ultralight alpine insulation for any day in the backcountry.
How does the fit of the Thunder down compare to the fit of the Eylsium down. Both have the same size chart, however the North Face Thunder site indicates trim fit.
The fit on the Thunder is pretty trim. The Elysium is a pure outerwear piece, where the Thunder is more of a down sweater that can be worn as a jacket or as a layering piece. I am a large in most TNF pieces, but am XL in the Thunder. Hope this helps-
Since this jacket is Summit Series, it fits more trim than many other North Face Jackets that I own. Super light and packable - this isn't my everyday down jacket, I'm going to save for ski tourning, climbing, and other trips where I need to save weight and space. I've got other jackets that can take the day to day beating. I just used the Thunder Jacket on a 9 day moto trip where I didn't have an inch of extra cargo space, and it was perfect. The 20 denier lining is awesome, really comfortable.
hey guys, im 6'3" with super long arms and was wondering how long the arms are on this jacket, i have a few tnf softshells and the arms are long enough but i also have the redpoint optimus jacket and the arms are a little short in the xl. im fairly skinny so i like to keep it trim throughout the chest, but its hard finding arms that are long enough without stepping up to an XXL.
Funny that you ask- I just went through this scenario with this jacket, and I am 6-3 as well. I ended up with the XL, and it fits great- arms long enough and still pretty trim everywhere else. Try the XL.
I tried on this jacket at TNF store, great fit throughout the body but a little short. What other jackets are out there that are similar in size/warmth but have a little more length? Water-resistant is a huge plus...
Hey Anon. Check out the Transcendent Sweater by Outdoor Research, the Nitrous Jacket by Mountain Hardwear or the Patagonia Down Sweater. You'll likely find the Outdoor Research or Patagonia jacket fits the longest and MHW tends to cut puffy jackets short to fit above a climbing harness.
is there a hooded thunder down jacket? looking for a waist length hooded down jacket that is very warm and not too bulky. I live in NJ and winter is pretty cold. I have the TNF summit series 850 fill, best jacket ever!!! But its really bulky especially when driving.
