The North Face Steep Tech Work Jacket - Men's
The North Face Steep Tech Work jacket helps you get the job done while protecting you from the harshest weather. Some people play in the snow, but you work in it. The North Face constructed the Steep Tech Work Jacket to hold up to heavy abuse: The abrasion-resistant, waterproof HyVent material is super durable, and critically taped seams add to this coat's moisture resistance. Further protection from the elements comes from a packable hood. When you're working hard on the ski hill, cool down with armpit vents and the three-zip front ventilation system. A radio pocket and an easy-access front tool pocket keep those essentials handy.
Bottom Line: Gettin' the job done.

I love my jacket. Fits great and breathes well on the slopes with all of the zippers. Nice amount of pockets. I've received many compliments every time I wear it out. I own the white version.

good all mountain jacket and for those who don't understand the clues is in the name... "work jacket" that why its a little stiff. i use it on the slopes as a thick shell with either a couple of long t's or a TNF wind stopper fleece if its really cold. the collar comes up high which is great on a cold lift and it has enough venting under the arms and on the front for it to work well. its tough and thats why it is stiff in the end this is a jacket that will take a beating on the mountain and come back and play another day. PS you'll also stand out from the crowd

This coat was not good at all. it is made out of good material. but not a good to just have on. it fit so uncomfortable and i did not like it at all. and good luck trying to wear it with the zipper undone. do not buy! Stay away!

this jacket is great I couldn't be any happier with my purchase I bought it in the white color. I get compliments from everyone every time I wear it. I keeps me very warm just make sure to wear a sweater under it if its below 40 degrees outside. Make sure to get your size I'm 6' 2" Slim build and the Large size fits me perfect. I read that some people said the collar goes halfway up your face, thats only a good way to tell that you bought it too large. Over all the jacket is great.

This jacket does not breath well at all. If you plan on doing any sort of activity where you would need a breathable jacket, choose something else. North face made some changes from the orginal, namely the tricot mesh lining that allowed for a more breathable, warmer shell. Now, it's a well made, well crafted piece that makes you sweat heavly. Every time I wear this the lining is soaking wet when I take it off. Please consider how active you plan on being before you purchase this jacket. I'm very, very disapointed.

If you read the reviews, you would think this is a great jacket. It is very stiff, to a point where it is hard to move. The collar is very high, goes up half way up your face. The jacket is very difficult to zip up, and if you need to open it to ventilate, it feels very strange.

This jacket is super tough. It doesn't compress down very small, but if you don't plan on packing it it doesn't really matter. It has lots of useful pockets, but no pockets big enough for your hands. Those are the only cons that I could find in this jacket and they are nothing compared to the pros. The ventilation zippers under the armpits and on the chest work great for when you get too warm. I find it comfortable and functional and I have gotten a few compliments about it. Overall this jacket is great and I wish I could wear it year round.

Jacket is really cool. Lots of pockets and looks really neat, good construction. However, was intending the jacket to be insulated and did not fit my intended needs. Would have kept it, but the zipper is also off center, which is part of the nice functionality and design of the jacket, but the jacket hangs funny if you wear it without being zipped -- it is better to wear it like a pull over, but also allows for full zipper entry.
Recommend the jacket if your requirements match the jackets function.

My boyfriend bought this coat and he loves it. It keeps him very warm without the bulkiness of a thick coat. Plus it has a great style.

This jacket looks great. The fit is very true to size. The jacket material seems to be very well made. I would have given this jacket a (5) if it was just a bit warmer on its own. I have a steep tech hoodie that works really well with this jacket to add the extra warmth. Steep Tech-----Really great style.

Zipping it is kinda weird, but once you get used to it, its great. This jacket with Liner zip in capability would be prefect. I have the black and everyone who has seen it loves the looks. Lots of pockets but they are small. Overall, I really like the jacket.

The jacket is warm comfortable, and very stylish. You kinda have to get used to the side zipper to zip it up but other than that, the jacket is worth the price.

Wow, this is one serious piece of equipment. Very comfortable, lots of pockets, finished beautifully. Also, doesn't really mention that you CAN unzip all the way if you have to with a very cleaver design. Lots of pockets. Two lower pockets can be used for hands if you want, but not really set up for it. If you want the ultimate anorak, this is it.

Half the price of the Agency and yet just as comfortable and stlyish. Make sure you get the right size; Definitely worth the price for a winter jacket.

I have had this jacket since it 1st came out (I want to say the mid to late 90's). I still have the jacket and it has been nothing but awesome. Performs in nearly any weather condition (have had it out in -22 cold) and is ultra resistant to wear and tear. Paid 400.00+ for it new, they are significantly more affordable these days.

The Steep Tech Apogee Work Jacket I purchased could not have been any better. It is a nice jacket with great colors. It’s from North Face so you know it’s the best materials, and I couldn’t be any more satisfied with this great 'spring jacket'!

The jacket is excellent. I have the ivory/grey/black version of this jacket and it is a stunner. Heads turn everywhere I go and because of the area I live the jacket is valuable and subject to robbery. The jacket DEFINITELY keeps me warm. The only confusing element is the zipping of the jacket. It’s quite different from the traditional zipper down the middle of your coat. You have to zipper the coat on the left side of your body. Great quality, would buy again. I have an XXL and I need an XL. They were out of my size so it’s a little big that’s why it could be better, for me at least.
