Nice overall but baggy fit

By PatagoniaCommunity.blogspot Ranked #1586 - Men's Ski Jackets January 7, 2009

I have a variation of the jacket called the Decatric. The only difference I'm aware of is that mine came with a soft shell jacket that is removable. I like this jacket a lot but there are a few things that bother me. I usually use Patagonia stuff which is pretty minimalist so this North Face piece is a different experience. First, I noticed that the fabric is pretty loud. It crinkles a lot and announces you when you walk into the room. Also, the fit is quite baggy. Like the other reviewer said, the arms are long and they styling is roomy, presumably to allow for underlayers. For my tastes though, it could be trimmed down a bit.

The jacket holds up well in wet weather. I went up to the snow and it did well in rainy, and later snowy, conditions. The hood has a nice trim fit. I don't understand the velcro AND zippered handwarmer pockets. A simple storm flap over the zipper would have been sufficient. It's like they're trying to keep your hands OUT. Overall, a good jacket but I paid quite a bit less than full price. For full price, you're better off looking elsewhere.
