Great jacket(s)

Overall, a wonderful jacket, but there are a few design flaws.
First off, the velcro on the sleeves of the outer shell makes the cuff fit and feel a bit awkward, but I got used to this after just a few wears.
The arm length on the insulated layer is a bit short (I'm 6'1" and purchased the XL) while the outer shell is just a hair too long.
The hood is quite massive, and I am glad it is removable. I only attach it when I know for sure I'll be out in wet weather.
When used in combination, the jacket is incredibly warm without being bulky, and the HUGE pit zips kept me from being too warm on long treks in snowfall.
The outer shell is also fantastic in the wind. I wore it around town on a recent trip to Chicago, and I could not have been more pleased with its performance.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase, and if North Face ever works out the minor kinks, I'd definitely buy another one.
