The North Face Triple C Down Jacket - Women's

Item #TNF5421 | 0 in Stock

Trying to decide, Mountain Hardewar Downtown, NF Metropolis,...

By Ranked #1878 - Women's Down Jackets January 10, 2011

Trying to decide, Mountain Hardewar Downtown, NF Metropolis, or the Triple C.... how to decide... thoughts? I want WARM!!! They all have hoods, and some length, different down fill (though some comments indicate that does not matter.) All else being equal, I am leaning towards the triple C just because it is longer... but maybe that does not matter. can anyone help? also not sure if I should go with Small or Med. (5'5'', 125lbs) I usually am about 4 to 6, depending...

I have both Metropolis and Triple C. I think Triple C is slightly warmer (has a higher down count at 700) and the long length is nice in really cold days. But i think Metropolis does a far superior job of blocking the wind - it is seriously windproof. So if you live in a windy area, Metropolis will likely keep you warmer. I have both because of length options (i am 5'3 - so one is close to knees, the other closer to ankle) - but if it's really windy, i reach for my Metropolis.
