The North Face Verdi Down Jacket - Men's

This jacket rocks. I bought it for my bf and he loves it. It's super warm, comfortable, and has a lot of little storage pockets. It looks fabulous too :)

I recently moved to the East Coast from sunny California and needed a warm down jacket in preparation for the worst. I scooped this lovely item for $150 and I couldn't be happier! I'm 5'9", slim build, and it's comfortable wearing a longsleeved shirt and fleece underneath the Verdi (small size). However, it's definitely not baggy and can be worn by itself too, which gives this product mega flexibility points. The helmet is adequate if you've got a beanie on underneath, but it's a snug fit and wouldn't do so well with a helmet. Fortunately I'm not walking around town ready for crap to hit me on the head! I've had a few people ask me why I bought the yellow colour, but I wanted something bright and it's a refreshing change from the sea of black and brown. Finally, with a fleece underneath I was able to walk downtown in 10-15 F weather for 2 hours without feeling a thing on my chest (my feet were another matter!). If I had to buy another jacket, I'd get this one again, in black (you know, to fit in).

Bottom line, I had to send the jacket back. I really wanted to like the thing, even so far as to return the large I had first ordered and exchange it for a medium. But after wearing it around the house and testing the coat for fit and movement I found the garment disapointing in one crucial aspect. The hood. The hood is not helmut compatable nor is it head compatable if you wear a hat. Also the neck is so tight that when the zipper is closed it smashes my face and the velcro closers don,t work. The thing is warm though and might be good for walking the dog on a cold winter day but for sitting on sub-zero chairlift in the middle of Feb. with the wind howling in my ears I want something with a hood that will shut out the weather and let me hide.

been a long-time fan of The North Face products. have even given thier products as as Christmans gifts to my family members in the Chicago region- needles to say, thay all loved them as well. True, he prices are up there, but everyting is well wpth the prices- especialy when on sale. This jacket I bought for myself, as my McMurdo PArka was a tad too long for geting in & out of my elevated SUV. This jaceket is Perfect. am also expecting an order for the Apex jacket (fall & cooler weather, sweatshirt & windfall gloves as my last goves of 6 years finally saw its last season & were no longer keeping out the cold breezes). the only gripe (not even really a gripe) in theat the logo & lining of my jacket are all chocolate brown, vs a shown white logo & charcoal-black look in the posted photo. Anyway, its diferent & still looks good- most inportantly it WARM & fits me PERFECTLY (I'M about 5'10' 225lbs- unusally buy XL but this L is PERFECT in the body & sleeve length. I highly recommend theis jacket to ANYONE!

I bought this for my husband. Needless to say he loves it. I have also made other clothing purchases from Backcountry and I love ordering from them. They are fast and accurate. Also, the quality of the clothing is outstanding. I think they are very reasonably priced.

I bought this jacket as a gift for my brother who continues to rave about it constantly every time I see him! He uses it for everything from camping in freezing conditions to walking his dog at 5am in the dead of winter! I would recommend the Verdi to anyone who was looking for a great down jacket!

The Verdi is a great length for cold days sitting on the chairlift. A definite resort piece because of the weight the exterior fabric puts on the jacket. Not a real forgiving jacket, its built like body armor. Still flexible enough that its not restrictive though. All the bells and whistles, pockets in all the right places and a very comfortable fit.

This jacket is so warm. I never have to wear a layer under it. It keeps me warm and dry in the harshest of Utah conditions. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good looking jacket that is really warm.
