Gear Review
Can't debate this shell

I would fall into the category of critic when it comes to north face. However Summit Series gear is supreme stuff. I got this jacket a few months ago and I have been thoroughly impressed with it. It has everything you need in an alpine shell and nothing else. One of the best features is the weight. Another thing that surprised me was the zipper lamination, as far as I'm concerned North face does one of the best zipper lams on the market. This may not be the best jacket in the world, but for the price you can't argue its a keeper!
