The North Face Aconcagua Down Jacket - Men's

Item #TNF2436 | 1340 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Decent jacket for the price

By Ranked #1787 - Men's Down Jackets March 5, 2009

I've always found North Face to have "two lines" - the "consumer" line and the"pro" line. This jacket definitely falls in the former. It's a great jacket - for the price - and for a down jacket for <$150, the price is good. It's comfortable, fits well under shells, etc. Everything a down jacket should do. Stuffing it into the inner pocket is a nice feature - but it's not easy and I rarely bother. It loses down and I agree with other reviewers that it feels like it would rip easily. It's not a jacket I would expect to handle many seasons of hard use (hence the "consumer line") but for an inexpensive insulating layer under a tougher shell, it's a great deal.
