I am Interested to pick up a winter jacket for Boston winter and I was wondering as to which would be the best jacket from Northface for that. It seems like there are a lot of different designs and that really confuses me. Could anybody help?Thanks

It depends on the activity that you will be doing while wearing the jacket. High activity means that you can get away with less insulation. New England winters are on the cold side, yes? I would recommend something from the 'insulated' line. I own a redpoint jacket and I love it. It is deceptively warm and extremely light weight. The redpoint is really more of a layering option in the extreme cold, though. If you want a stand-alone winter coat from TNF for the cold of a Boston winter, I would recommend the knuptse down jacket. As I stated earlier, it depends on the activity you are doing while wearing the jacket. The knuptse is by no means an exterior shell, and down it will become quite useless when wet. As always, a good stock of interchangeable layering pieces in a zip-in system makes for the best option in a variety of conditions.
