The North Face ST Down Apogee Snorkel II Down Jacket - Men's

The North Face ST Down Apogee Snorkel II Down Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 29, 2008

Well, where do we start with a $600+ jacket?!
it does a good job of balancing useability, durability, keeping warmth in while keeping the elements out. However, don't mistake this with an everyday jacket. This jacket is not an everyday jacket, it is much too heavy and the material is much too heavy duty for everyday use (gets in the way too much). With 600 fill, I was ok staying out in single digit F for around an hour sitting. Still though, don't believe in the jacket able to keep you warm in the most harsh weather claim, as it won't do anything to increase survival rate. You should look for a full body suit for that. As far as cleaning, it stated cold gentle cycle machine wash on tag. Now if they can include a users manual for all the features in this jacket... If there is one thing I would like improved, other than a users manual, it would be a better attachment method for the hood. The zipper sometimes slides opens un-intendedly. As far as money well spent...I have waited for a sale before pulling the trigger and I am keeping it.
