Stretch Pro Shell Gore-Tex...Wow

The North Face Half Dome Jacket - Men's

The North Face Half Dome Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 13, 2012

This is my 3rd Gore-Tex jacket. The stretch Pro Shell material is like no other Gore-Tex; it is cloth-like. I own a TNF Heathen Pro Shell Gore-Tex and 14 year-old jackets, they are both feel like you wear paper-like material. My Heathen jacket is a 20D where this is a 40D, just the right thickness so that I don't have more than a fleece under it, even during Feb month in Michigan. :) I was tormented between a green and a black. I'm glad I picked green. It is such a beautiful color. No wonder TNF picked this green as the displaying color. :) I'm 5'7", 150 lbs... I must be between a small (tight) and a medium (loose). The sleeves (Medium) are little long (all the way to 1/2 of my fingers); therefore I must use the Velcro to stop them from going pass my cuffs. My friend told me that Patagonia designs most of their sleeves a bit long for climbers, so this TNF might be the right length... who knows!!! :) Other than that I'm happy with everything else. I have many TNF and Patagonia jackets over the years, but I have a good feeling that this will be my favorite jacket for years to come. Who knows, it might outlast my first Gore-Tex jacket I bought 14 years ago from a TNF outlet. I think it was an irregular. :) BTW, Mike Throgmartin was correct... this is a athletic (slim) cut. I'm glad, otherwise it might be too roomy. :) Thank you.

The North Face Half Dome Jacket - Men's

February 2, 2012

I wonder what type of cut this jacket is. Could someone tell me? Slim cut, I hope since I'm a tad bigger than a small; therefore I don't want to be lost in a medium. Also is 40D nylon is reasonably thick for Michigan with a simple fleece inside?

:) Thank you.

Patagonia Primo Gore-Tex Jacket - Men's

January 29, 2012

Could someone tell me why Patagonia stops making 2-way zipper on jackets? Many of their jackets are long for a guy like me, 5'7". When I sit down, I'd like to use the lower zipper so that the jacket doesn't push up. Thank you!

TrekSta Evolution GTX Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 December 17, 2011

Over all I'm impressed with these shoes. The shoe design hugs my feet like none of others. When jogging I feel great in them because they are comfortable and not afraid of stepping into water or in snow. Somehow the tongue tends to shift left and left my skin rubbing against the topline collar near the top eyelet. The right shoe was perfect. I wonder if the left shoe is defective. :(

Rating for this product: 4 December 17, 2011

Very light! When I run, I don't feel them much on my feet. Good shoes as I come to expect from Patagonia products. The only problem is the shoes are too narrow. I should have gone with 1/2 size bigger to compensate for the narrow design.

The North Face Venture Jacket - Men's

November 12, 2010

In my opinion, a small probably suits you best. I'm 5'7" and 150 lbs and I'm borderline between a small and medium. A small is tight around the armpit area but a medium is a little long in length. I hope it helps.

The North Face Denali Wind Pro Fleece Jacket - Men's

May 23, 2010

Yes, I got the right size. Just like a few posts earlier... they said similar. Maybe the term baggy wasn't accurate. The sleeve area seems wider (around the armpit) in design than typical jackets like WindWall1, WindWall2 or Heathen.

The North Face Annapurna 1/4-Zip Fleece Sweater - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 May 21, 2010

I was looking for a middle layer for my TNF heathen jacket. I don't think this material is warm enough to keep me warm in the winter (combo). The cut for a size medium is quite tight around my torso (medium usually is on the loose side for me). The material is very soft... like wool blend. I don't like wool much. :(

I ended up returning this fleece and got a Delani WindPro jacket as the middle layer for my Heathen jacket. I'm much happier with this combo.

Perfect TNF jacket on me so far

The North Face Denali Wind Pro Fleece Jacket - Men's

The North Face Denali Wind Pro Fleece Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 18, 2010

As soon as I read the complaints at this site about the sleeves being too long/baggy. I know I've found a perfect jacket. I'm between small and medium (5'7", 150 lbs). A small fits me well but not around the armpit (being too tight). Denali jacket is a little looser around the armpit therefore this is a perfect TNF jacket on me yet. This jacket isn't like the regular Denali jacket, much better in my opinion. The reason this jacket is shinier in texture; therefore it has the look of an Apex type of jacket. I haven't tested in the wind yet, but if it is anything like my other Windwall 2 jacket... I'm sure I will be happy. This black jacket is sharp. BTW, I tried it as a middle layer with my TNF Heathen technical shell; I'm very happy as well.

I'm so happy with it. I just got a red one as well. :)

I just got this pair today. I like them the moment I have them on. With Michigan weather, nothing can keep me really warm. But I'm sure they will keep me from being too cold while shoving snow or skiing. I also bought a pair of Windwall gloves. They are more for dressing up (like leather gloves). :)

Once I tried them on... they felt like leather gloves. They probably aren't as warm as Denali gloves (on order as well). :) There are occasions, I'd like to have a pair of thin gloves to wear. Instead of wearing ski gloves. I just wish the black color was more dark black. The black color is more black/brown. :)

Rating for this product: 5 May 15, 2010

My wife loves this jacket. She asked whether the length of the jacket is a tad short, XS on 5'3" and 110 lbs. The arm length is perfect, but I think this is how TNF designed the length of this jacket (short). From all postings so far, everyone said the same about being short in length. I picked out jacket for her for mother's day. I'm glad she's happy with it.

I got this vest as a gift. I tossed away the description tag therefore I wasn't sure what type TNF vest for awhile until I ran across this page. It is a little thicker than my REI, Patagonia vests in I owned in the past, but I love this material. It is like the thick version of TKA material. Love it!

The North Face Classic Denali Fleece Jacket - Boys'

Rating for this product: 3 May 14, 2010

I bought this jacket in small for my son. The TNF size indicates small = 51" to 53"; my son is only 50" tall and the sleeves were way short + they aren't baggy as the adult TNF Delani jackets. Often the TNF Delani jackets are bigger than the typical TNF jackets. I will have to return this jacket. My son was disappointed because he loves this anemone green. Too bad there is no medium size offer for this color to exchange at this web site. :(

From what I can see it is high quality jacket. I'm sure he would look nice in it.

If this is anything like a regular TNF Delani then it is the way it's designed. I noticed it was loose at the armpit and through out the arm. The way you described it seems like this one has the same cut as regular Delani therefore you didn't get a flawed one

The North Face Denali Wind Pro Fleece Jacket - Men's

April 25, 2010

Follow up to the question below...

I will get this jacket as a middle layer for the next winter. :) Now on with sizes... I'm 5'7", 150 lbs, 32" waist. With TNF Heathen and Windwall 2 jackets, a small size jacket is tight around the armpit/waist areas; a medium size seems a little roomy everywhere. From what people posted here about this jacket (or Denali jackets in general), it seems like this jacket is a little bigger size than the typical TNF jackets; therefore a small should be OK?

Thanks for your comments.

I don't know why TNF put 1000g for weight. Even if this is an average weight. I own a medium and it is no heavier than 600g. I love my WW2. It is my go-to jacket in early spring and even late fall. It stops wind, period! I can't say enough good things about it + 40% off. I tried on the WW1, but I like the WW2 better (2 tones is very nice).I read it somewhere that WW1 = spring jacket and WW2 = fall jacket. :) Well, WW2 = my spring/fall jacket. :)

Gore-Tex and light jacket

The North Face Heathen Jacket - Men's

The North Face Heathen Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 25, 2010

Gore-Tex Pro Shell is listed as rugged. I hope it will last me as long as my old Gore-Tex (12 years and I still wear it when I work outside). This jacket is very thin; therefore I must wear a thicker fleece to keep me warm in the Michigan winter months. I'm sure I will use this jacket as my rain jacket in the spring/summer since it is breathable. :) Over all it is a beautiful jacket/fitted me great. I own a blue color with red accent around the sleeve collars and behind the main zipper. Nice!

So far I have trouble with the zipper. I have to work at it to zip up. It is possible that it is new and the type of water repellant zipper. Also both sides of the front jackets are made with thicker material therefore if the wind blows, it tends to flap open. Again it is possible that it is new.
