Warm, but not toasty.

All in all a great jacket, but don't expect it to keep you toasty in 30 degree weather. As promised, it blocks the wind. The pockets are lined, which is a bonus, but an inner pocket would have been nice. Hood also lined.

I've worn this jacket in a variety of weather conditions. It excels in weather down to about 40*, but just doesn't have the insulation to compete with freezing point air. Does fine in light rain and moderately windy conditions.

Well-fitted and stylish. I opted for the gray version with the red stripe on the zipper. It's a very unique look and sets it apart from the standard black.

All in all very satisfied with this quality North Face jacket, but be aware that it's not parka warm.
