The North Face Redpoint Jacket - Men's

Great jacket overall. I use this for ski touring in the Wasatch when I am standing around at the top. Keeps you warm and packs down pretty small when not in use. Recommended.

This jacket is great if you live up north...Living in North Dakota, the wind is treacherous. This jacket protects from the wind very well...I love it

My husband, brother, and father all have this jacket, and hardly take it off during the winter in Utah. It is a perfect jacket for keeping warm without being super bulky. It also stays drier than fleece, so it's great for those quick storms that sneak up on you. Sizing was right on with other The North Face gear they own. Highly recommend it!

Comfortable, lightweight, good fit and just the right amount of insulation for a versatile all around casual jacket

jacket is lightweight, warm, my boyfriend hasn't taken it off. He loves it!! We bought a second jacket in another color because he loves it so much

I have bought The North Face products, like many, over the years. Some are excellent, others very poor. This item falls into the latter category. It is flimsy and only of mediocre quality. I have seen jackets at half the price that were superior. My opinion is that The North Face makes so many items, that one has to be careful to select those that live up to the manufacturer's reputation. The only redeeming aspect is that this site is a completely reliable merchant.

Great jacket! It is light weight but very warm. It is very stylish as well. I bought my son one too.I am very happy with The North Face products!

The jacket was too thick insulation-wise. Also, I have an athletic build, and while the fit thru the shoulders was fine, the fit thru the middle was much too big and baggy.

Layered this jacket with Varius Guide jacket while skiing in Colorado in snow and low 20's, it was great. Next day the weather cleared and warmed to 30's, wore only the Redpoint over base layers, it was comfortable. Very good garment. Hope NR doesn't discontinue. Easier to pack and wear than fleece.

I bought this jacket a few weeks ago, it was huge on me. ON a whim I wanted to see if it would fit my dad, it did. Later that night I got a flat, he came out. I was freezing, but he was wearing his new jacket and kept bragging about how warm he was. It's amazing how warm it is yet how light. I just bought a medium for myself. Usually a Large is big enough for me, as I'm 6'3", but since I only weigh 180(ish) it was huge in the torso. I live in Kansas and we are having a harsh winter, I'm really looking forward to wearing this under my The North Face Apex Softshell.

This jacket is very well designed. The two pockets could be higher up for when I have a pack on, but other than that it's fine. I am 6'0"/165 lbs, and usually wear a TNF Medium, and the Medium Redpoint fits like all other TNF I have tried. I works as it's own jacket, with a thin layer underneath when I'm heading to class, or a fleece underneath when it gets colder. You can zip it into a shell if you're going to be out in some serious weather, though the water- and wind- resistance of this jacket is more than I expected. Warmer than a fleece, thinner than a fleece, slides under a layer better than a fleece, doesn't pill or attract lint like fleece...overall, better than fleece. I use it as a replacement for fleece a lot of times, so I don't have to throw a shell over my Patagonia R4. Between this and the R4, I'd say the R4 is a little warmer (maybe, it's close) and blocks wind a little better than this one, but the one will resist light rain and snow more so than my R4. I'd say, for the price, you can't go wrong with this jacket.

Right now I am only wearing this jacket and it is great. Nice color, very warm and light-weight! I highly recommend it!

Toasty warm in 20deg weather with a sweater underneath. Super super light weight.

I am returning this jacket because it is clearly inferior to other brands. The insulation is thin and the jacket runs too large. I found another puff jacket - with zip-off sleeves - a GREAT feature - instead.

I wear this jacket on its own when temps are 15 degrees and up, and as a layering piece if it's colder or if I need to wear something more presentable on top...never felt cold when wearing it. My wife was looking for a winter jacket and I told her that the women's Redpoint would be too light for her. If the men's version is a fair representation of the womens', I was wrong. Only negative - pit zips would be nice.

Jacket is nice and warm, wearing it at around 20 degrees keeps you nice and toasty. The water repelency is almost as good as my TNF rain coat. The only problem I have is the packability. It does pack into the pocket but getting it zipped is pretty much a B*&^%.

Really like the jacket. It's warm but breathes well. I wore it under my Arcteryx shell on a very cold day snowboarding and It helped keep me warm. I almost bought the hooded one but realized the hood would not fit over my helmet. It is also quite stylish for a puffy jacket. i have been wearing it a lot.

I like the weight and cut of this jacket. The fit is good (I'm 6'1" and 168 lbs.) The Primaloft does a great job of keeping me warm down to about 10-15 degrees with moderate layers. If you're going to be out for a long time in this jacket and it's 15 degrees or below, you'd better layer up.

large size fits me nicely, its great for layering. not as waterproof as i wanted it to be. i wish the north face creates a 200gm version of this

This is the perfect insulating layer. Throw it on over a base layer and under a softshell and you're good to go for the coldest windiest conditions--Not bulky and the smooth fabric slides on easy.Check out the hooded version too.

great jacket, doesn't feel overly warm but seems to remain that way even when it gets colder. Ok down to 30* with just midweight undershirt

Outstanding piece of clothing, comfortable and stylish. I have received many compliments on the jacket. My wife surprised me with the jacket for my birthday, what a great gift.

I would recommend this jacket to anyone looking for synthetic down. I used it most recently on a trip to AK and it fit the bill – kept me warm at night and not too hot during the spring days. It stuffs well into its own pocket and fits into my pack for bc tours, if needed. I also feel good about wearing it around town.

When I received this jacked i tought "man, this won't keep me warm in Moscow" but once I got to my trip destination this jacket really surprised me. It was really warm. I recommend it. The only downside its that it does not come with a hood, but that's not really a big issue.

Good-looking,light-weight, yet very warm on cold days. Not too warm at other times. Only negative is cuffs could be about 1-2" long and elastic. Currently, an elastic draw-string-sized cuff. Sleave tends to blouse over.

First off, this jacket is so decent. Its warm, light weight, stylish and the waterproofing and windproofing are second to none! This is simply the best jacket I've EVER owned.

Really nice jacket, doubles as a liner. Very glad I purchased this one.

The Redpoint is a great jacket. I especially appreciate the light weight and compactability. I need a layer of fleece below 20 degrees if I'm not doing something active.

excellent product Delighted with JACKET.

This jacket is spectacular. It's lightweight and durable. Great for the snow AND the rain. I had a really heavy north face, a bit too heavy for what I wanted to use it for, so I purchases this one. I've been very pleased. And to boot, it's pretty darn stylish too.

overall, a good jacket. packs nice and small for travel use. i wish they could figure out how to remove the static from all jackets though.

I rate this jacket highly because it is a great value. I love how light it is, and yet how warm it keeps me. I think it is fine with a long-sleeve shirt underneath down to about 32F, but anything colder than that I add a nice fleece layer, too. The Redpoint is well-made, and comfortable. I have no problems with the napoleon zipper getting stuck thus far. The hand pockets are medium-sized, and big enough for me. I wish The North Face had included an inside pocket. The jacket is so very light; I really like it a lot.

its a great jacket, lightweight and warm. However the colors are screwy. I ordered black and it's more of a dark blue.

title says it truest. very warm, very water resistant, and very wind resistant. Used it skiing at Killington with wind chills dipping toward 0 and lower; stayed nicely warm with only a t-shirt and thermal underneath.

This Jacket is pretty must the greatest investment I ever made. It's water resistant, basically wind proof, and hella stylish. Oh yeah... almost forgot, it's warmer than warm. I've been sporting it with just a long sleeve shirt underneath and I live in south bend, Indiana... to give you an idea, i was warm and it was 11 degrees out with a windchill to make it feel like 8. I was toasty. Buy it! Love it! Wear it!

I had some trouble picking between the redpoint and the Mountain Hardwear chugach jacket. Both are light and warm. Both are seriously awesome jackets. I just happen to like the redpoints fit and look a little better. It fits a little tighter and I prefer the colors. All in all, you can't go wrong with either jacket, it just depends on if you like it bigger (Mountain Hardwear), or tighter (The North Face)

Great jacket. Lightweight, thin and warm. Temperature has been below 10 for much of the past week and this jacket is perfect on its own for casual wear.

I ordered for my boyfriend. It's simple and can go with any type of outfit which I like, but it was misleading as far as how warm it is. It is really thin and serves more as a Spring Jacket, more like a stuffed windbreaker. Thought it looked a bit warmer in picture.

This is the perfect fall/winter jacket, for temperatures ranging from 20-50 degrees, because it literally seems to adapt to the surrounding conditions. It is surprisingly light and flexible (and fashionable) for the degree of warmth it provides. (It is warmer than heavy wool jackets I own.) But what really impresses me is that the jacket seems to adapt to the weather. It can be comfortably worn in 50 degree weather (unzipped), and is equally comfortable on a cold winter morning (zipped). The weight to warmth ratio is fantastic. This is the perfect jacket in my opinion. Highly recommended.

This jacket is very lightweight. However, after wearing it in the evening around Breckenridge I discovered that it's not very warm. I've opted for the Mountain Hardwear Sub-Zero. Not really in the same class, I know, but they are almost the same price so I'm sticking with Mountain Hardwear going forward.

A great jacket by The North Face, one I hope they keep for many years. My wife and I each own two and wear them in all weather. This is a remarkable strong jacket for how soft it is.

This jacket's great - I use it mainly for casual wear vs. outdoor ruggedness, but it's withstood cold temps and wind in all situations. It's also water resistant. I wear it when riding my bike around town here in Colorado with temps down around 10-15 degrees F, with wind, and feel no cold in my upper body. This is with only one long sleeve base layer underneath. It's also gotten a lot of style compliments. I'd recommend it without reservations.

I bought the Redpoint jacket because I wanted something warm that could stand up to the cold rain that we see so often here in DC. Its surprisingly warm and light weight. I'm glad I got it.

I was looking for something that could serve as an everyday type winter jacket, and this seems to be the perfect one. It's very light weight, but very warm. The synthetic insulation has kept me plenty warm on cold days (so far, down to about 30's-40's). It seems to have good wind and water resistance also. Just wish there was a neck hole bungee. As with most North Face, sizing is huge, so you may need to size down. Overall, I highly recommend, as the jacket looks nicer than a fleece, and seems to be much warmer than similarly priced softshells.

The jacket is much lighter than I expected, but warm and comfortable. However, the zipper came off the second day of wear. I have not had time to return it yet but intend to send it back soon.

A jacket that is functional and stylish. I opted for the ash grey color which quite a neutral color. Napoleon pocket is a good idea, however, if your jacket is a firm fit across the chest anything in the pocket will increase the firmness. Side pockets are deep enough to warm your hands or carry quite large items) gloves, cell phone, wallet, GPS). Two waist tightener cords allow you to easily and effortlessly snatch in the jacket at the waist for a firmer fit. Length is adequate, however, if you have a very tall torso you may find the Redpoint too short at the waist. I’ve had no problems with the zipper mechanism on the pockets or front of the jacket. The arm length is quite good as is the available room beneath the arm for movement. The collar area is a little snug when the zipper is zipped to the top of its run. This maybe a problem for some who like to have their collars completely closed (personally I hate closed collars). The larger jacket had a more room in this area. I purchased the small and medium Repoint then selected the best fit. I found I was an in-between fit – as such the medium was bulky but with lots of room beneath the jacket while the small was a slightly firm fit. I decided on the small as it appeared to be warmer and the air didn’t push out of the jacket when my arms were folded. The arms were also a little shorter; the medium arms were a little too long. Check your size carefully and determine what you want to wear beneath the jacket as this will depict the size required. I find the size small a little constructive under the arms when wearing 4 layers (thermal, shirt, jumper and vest) for maximum protection, but perfect when wearing only 2-3 layers Having a jacket too large for your body type is not recommended as you will loose warmth quickly. The Redpoint is quite warm without being over warm. Ideally this jacket should be worn as an insulator jacket with a thermal, jumper, or vest for maximum warmth. I have found the water resistance excellent. I placed my arm under the shower for 5 minutes and the jacket maintained its bead and didn’t leak. Light/medium rain and snow is not a problem. The material used in the Redpoint is PrimaLoft. The main benefit of PrimaLoft verses down is that it is thinner than down and offers similar thermal characteristics. (down is a tad warmer). Other benefits is that PrimaLoft dries much more quickly than down and maintains its warmth in the wet. Down jackets can be very bulky in appearance. PrimaLoft jackets are not bulky. Abrasion resistance appears to be quite good, although the jacket is till new The Redpoint packs very small and is very light; packing the jacket into a backpack for travel should not cause any concern. There are many jackets similar to the Redpoint. Personally, I think they are all very similar to each other in terms of functionality. A point to remember is that insulator jackets should be worn with layering to achieve maximum warmth. If you think this jacket will keep you warm only wearing a T-shirt in sub zero temperatures you will be disappointed. Search for another type of jacket if you only want to wear a T-shirt!! I gave the jacket 4 out of 5. Why? The sizing was problematic without in-between sizes and the overall warmth of the jacket was not as good as I was anticipating.

Unbelievable that a jacket this thin could be so warm. Got tired of the puffiness of my down jacket and wanted to give this a try. It’s still freezing here in Germany and this jacket is perfect with just a long-sleeve T-shirt.

This is a wonderful jacket. Although I remained skeptical as to its warmth even after reading all the other reviews, I am a true believer after staying warm when wearing the Redpoint over a tee-shirt in breezy twenty-five-degree weather. It has unbelievable insulation given its size and weight, good wind protection in 10-15 mph winds, and water-repellant in anything but a downpour. While I purchased the jacket as a fleece-alternative for use in spring and fall, and as an insulating layer in winter, the Redpoint has replaced my winter jackets for all but the coldest days. It is a great jacket, great price and, unlike the Denali, not worn by every other person in the country.

I bought this jacket for my boyfriend and he loved it. We just went to Tahoe to snowboard. Not only did he look hot in it, but it kept him warm the whole time.
