Nice jacket, not very durable though.

Loved the jacket from day one... til about day 3. The material snags on the most unassuming things. It does not hold up to "normal everyday use". I began finding pinhole-sized tears and small holes in random places and once the material snags on something, it runs like nylon stockings/pantyhose! I did & still do receive unsolicited compliments on the jacket (bought it in Molten Red) wherever I go, which is a shame since I decided to return it. It is adequately warm & lightweight, but does not block wind, so I'd recommend it for use in weather no colder than maybe 40'F or right at freezing. If it hadnt been for the frail material, I would have kept it. Note: this is only the first of maybe a few dozen The North Face products I have purchased that have left me disappoined. However, since Backcountry maintains 100% customer satisfaction and has allowed me to return the "faulty" jacket for a full refund/exchange, I'm left with a not-so-bitter taste in my mouth from this purchase. A+ for Backcountry, D+/C- for The North Face on this product.
