Mountain Hardware SL vs. North Face Polar Jacket

By moo2599624 Ranked #1805 - Men's Down Jackets December 12, 2008

I just bought the NorthFace Polar Jacket. I also own the Mountain Hardware SL jacket. The Mountain Hardware SL Jacket was bought in XL and the North Face Polar Parka in LARGE. The North Face material is thicker and shell is much tougher with more Goose Filling resulting in a warmer jacket. I don't think the Northface will compact better then the Mountain Hardware SL Jacket. The Mountain Hardware SL can be pressed down to a football sized unit for the backpack. Bottom line, the Northface Polar is thicker, warmer and a bit longer, but shorter than the Canada Goose Expidition vs. the Mountain Hardware SL which rides around the beltline. The Mountain Hardware SL jacket has less goose fill = less warmer and is about 1/3 the pirce cheaper vs. the North Face Polar Parka. But defitnately, I would wear the North Face to walk around town or the woods and the Mountain Hardware SL to work or the supermarket...
