The North Face Geosphere Jacket - Men's
The wind-resistant, water-repellent The North Face Men's Geosphere Jacket helps you stay warm when you when you play outdoors in less than ideal weather. The attached, adjustable hood protects you from ear-biting wind and stinging rain. The North Face gave this windbreaker a mesh lining that wicks sweat to eliminate that clammy feeling at the end of a long day. Use the hem cinchcord to stop cold blasts from moving up your jacket, and pack the Geosphere into its left pocket when the weather improves.
Bottom Line: Don't let a little bad weather keep you from exploring.

This jacket is a waste of your money. First of all the hood never stays in place, can not be stored and does not adjust. Secondly, Why not spend the money on either a windshirt or a true waterproof jacket? This thing wetted out in a light rain...on a day hike. Would never consider bringing this on a overnight trip. Also, it is my opinion that The North Face has been catering to the yuppie, wannabe crowd and honestly their stuff does not fit....period. Save your cash there a many other brands and options to choose from. What ever happened to the old thenorthface?
Is this authentic? b/c its too cheap.And is there a size in small

Hey Won,Welcome to a little piece of the beauty of Backcountry.com! Prices are great and the service is even better.looks like they're out of size small in black right now. The best thing to do is jump on "live chat" and work with those folks. They'll be able to look up if there are any more on order, and if so they can give you an approximate arrival date.

This jacket is perfect. It is lightweight and isn't restrictive. It is water-proof and wind-proof. Also it is a very warm jacket and packs up small. I give it 5 stars.
pretty good!

Ok, the Geosphere Jacket is one of the best gears I have bought so far. Pretty light, protects from wind fairly well and when it rains, you would have to be exposed to if for quite a while before you start feeling some of the water inside. If you are wearing layers, then its not a problem, the few drops would stay there. In other words, I would say its a very good windproof jacket, but not a hardcore waterproof jacket; it protects fairly well from rain.
When hiking (or doing some physical activity), the jacket tends to warm you up fairly well, even to the point of making you sweat in moderate to warmer temperatures. By some, this could be taken as a pro, and by others as a con. I have been at around 40 50 ºF wearing nothing but a t-shirt and this light jacket
pretty comfortable! In warm weather, some might not like their windproof jacket to make them sweat when hiking.
Its a very good item, depending on what use you will give to this jacket. I think its pretty versatile; you can use it in different weather conditions (for my taste, maybe not for exercising in warm weather), light, and good looking. Personally, I love it.
How well does this jacket work on a rainy day?

It will work okay, but I would look at more of something with taped seams and more of a waterproof outer shell.

I wish it was a little longer so that it went past my waist. I really love the jacket overall though. I really like the service and communication of this site.

I recently purchased this great jacket and absolutely love it. It's lightweight, it's water- and windproof. What more do you need? I always keep it with me because you never can truly trust the weatherman...

Staying dry on the rock!

Born and raised in Newfoundland, I've seen my share of rain and fog. Since the purchase of my North Face Geosphere Jacket, I now look forward in the wet and damp weather. At least now I can say that I'm staying dry on the Rock!
Works well as advertised

This jacket is great for windy days and light rain. Pros - Lightweight, looks great, and is very wind/water-resistant. Cons - Fits shorter than I'd like, doesn't vent that well, and the hood doesn't adjust perfectly. For the price, it's a great jacket for limited exposure to wind and rain.
Is it good n warm enough for the winter season(below 50 or 40

You've got some damn mild winters, my friend. The answer is yes, this jacket will be fine, probably down to about 35, though you might want to throw a fleece on underneath depending on your taste.

Great Jacket
By: MikeDU
October 30, 2006
I'm quite happy with this jacket, particularly at the price. It's nice and light, but not flimsy, and has continually kept the wind and rain out. It is also constructed quite well, i.e., stitching, zippers, feel, etc. Keep in mind, it's a fairly light jacket and not lined; works great alone on warmer days, or with a layer (or two) underneath on the chilly ones. Definitely recommended.
Check back regularly. You can always place a special order with backcountry.com if you don't see it on their website. They're easy to work with.

I just got my jacket and I stepped outside...I was the same temperature as I was when I was inside. Keeps your cool in hot places, keeps you hot in cold places. A must buy, I highly recommend it.
No way to stow hood
By: shollar11552561

One of the reasons I bought the Geoshpere was because you are supposed to be able to stow the hood away. No way to do it. Disappointed and unhappy with the jacket.
great all-weather jacket
By: gsuato84
September 27, 2006
Never had a decent rain/wind jacket designed for more than just sports and this jacket is awesome. Feels great when its on and I just happened to be lucky enough to have a rainstorm the day it was delivered. I stepped outside with good wind and plenty of rain and only my legs and feet got wet at all. The water came off the jacket with a few shakes and I was excited about the performance in those conditions. I recommend it to anyone who wants a warm/cool temperature all-weather jacket that's not too heavy and still looks great. I'd buy it again, especially for the price.
Label says hood stows in collar. I can't figure out how...

Awesome jacket provides a nice layer for changing climate conditions. I started out on a hike with sun and ended up with a breeze and freezing rain and this jacket provided good temperature control and also kept me perfectly dry. I recommend it for sure.

This jacket fits well and looks sharp. I only wish the zipper was covered. But no doubt, it is the best of this type of jacket at a great price.

I received this product after 7 days. Which i thought was pretty good. How ever the jacket i got didn't exactly match with he picture shown on the site, the difference is it doesn't include the north face emblem zipper but instead it has a different emblem zipper. like the one shown in the picture, also the north face words on the jacket was gray not white.
I normally wear an XL in clothes. How true to size is this?

It's a roomy fit but it's pretty true to size. If you don't plan to layer you'd be OK with a large probably, but get the XL if you want to be safe.

Well i needed a jacket Asap so this was doable at the time. However this jacket is good only for spring and rainy weather but it wasn't what i was looking for.Better pictures will do for next time but in the end i am a loyal north face jacket user.

great wind and rain repellent. Fits nice and the service from this site was great. The only complaint is the hood. It would be nice if it could be tightened or adjusted.

GREAT PRODUCT
By: LOUJIVE2206510
May 20, 2008
Purchased this item and it was more than I had expected. It was extremely comfortable and just like others have said, it kept me warm and dry. Living in Seattle, I know the importance of products that keep you warm and dry. It has surpassed all the tests and it looks really nice as well. There's not much I can say against it. I hope the logo doesn't begin to fade after I wash it, but other than that, quality product. It will not keep you warm in frigid weather, but it is a good light jacket. You will be satisfied.
Awesome and I mean it!

This jacket is great! I was kind of skeptical at first because it was so cheap, but is really sturdy. It keeps you warm and dry and it's pretty lightweight as well. Only thing is i had to return it to get a bigger size, i'm 6'4 and while an XL was great length in the sleeves, it didn't come down long enough, but the XXL was perfect!
great
