The North Face Mountain Pant - Men's
February 17, 2009
I do not own the Free Thinker, but after reading the reviews for them, it was a no brainer to buy these pants. The Free Thiker are not the Gore-Tex Enduro Pro shell, they are just Gore-Tex performance like these, also read that the zip on the rear of the Free Thinker, is not sealed well. These pants rock, although the Free Thinker are way down in price now.

The North Face Mountain Light Jacket - Men's
February 6, 2009
The mountain light jacket tends to be somewhat true to size though some room is available.The jacket does has the zip-in feature but the denali jacket "may" be somewhat bulky.This jacket will also work with the Nuptse vest/jacket but it feels/look really bulky!It's best to try it on at a nearby store.I would add that the TKA full zip fleece is a perfect complimentto this coat, not much bulk, yet very warm and comfortable.

The North Face Mountain Light Jacket - Men's
February 6, 2009
I do not own an Alliance, but have tried one on, like this jacket much better. With the Denali, this would be extremely warm also. Very versatile jacket. As far as cost difference, tough for me to give an opinion, as I found this and the liner at a local Active Endeavors store for 50% off (jacket and liner for $180), if you can find that deal somewhere, it is like robbing someone. I would even say it worth reatil price.

I bought the same size liner as the coat. I bought the TKA 100 full-zip fleece jacket for this and it is perfect. I am sure there are vest and heavier fleece options for this, but what I purchased worked best for me, not too hot, but warm enough and very comfortable.

The North Face Vanquish Soft Shell Jacket - Men's
January 28, 2009
What is the fit like on this jacket? From the sounds of recent reviews, these newer TNF shells (Free Thinker ll, Sedition lll, Vanquish), are all cut larger than the normal TNF jackets. I have tried on the Mountain Light gore-tex shell and the Medium fits great, as it does in my Apex magic and apex bionic.Is this true? I am 5-9 140 lbs, should I consider a small?Thanks!
