The North Face Free Thinker Jacket - Men's
Great Jacket

Ranked #2115 - Men's Technical Shells
January 29, 2009
I am 6'4" and about 200#. The large fits great with room for base layers as needed for a shell only. Pit zips provide nice climate control, but are a little difficult to get to. Am thinking of installing some longer zipper pulls to fix this issue. No breathability issues, and I have done some pretty strenuous stuff in this get up. I use a wool base layer, and fleece mid layer(s) and haven't been wet ever. I like the Arcteryx stuff alot, but this jacket had the TPC (Total Pocket Count) I need for all my junk. Waterproof, windproof, and worth the $$.
