The North Face Prism Optimus Jacket - Men's
Vermont with the Optimus
By John Bresee
December 30, 2004
I went back to Vermont for Christmas and it was as cold as a republican in a homeless shelter.
I bought the Optimus as an early present for myself because I knew I no longer had the tough skin I had as a kid growing up on the mean streets of new england. And man was that a good purchase. The wind was blowing and the thermometer was claiming -20. But I was wrapped up and warm as could be.
I walked all around Craftsbury Common which is often listed as the cold spot of the nation. The wind blew, ice crystals pelted me and I just laughed. If you need a truly bomber jacket for the coldest of days, I recommend it.
The Optimus also packed down very small for travel.
