Outstanding jacket and loaded with features. Two way front zipper for excellent temp regulation. When im moving in this jacket and things heat up I bring up the zipper from the bottom and the jacket stays snug around the body and vents super. This is a feature found on some high output jackets for running and cycling and it works great, sure wish more jackets had this. Pit zips are very long and cover just above elbow and go all the way to bottom of rib cage, and they have 2 way zippers as well, A+. Primaloft insulation is lightweight, breathable, very packable and quite warm. Jacket is waterproof and is fully seam taped. So not only will you stay completly dry in the snow but the rain as well. Hyvent Alpha is breathable so it does a good job of letting out your persperation so you dont get sweaty and feel like your in a sauna, and it is also very abrasion resistant. Pockets are great, their is pleanty of them and they are not popping out noticable when you carry something in them like on some jackets. Hood is very effective and does not get in the way. There is an extra stitch put in the elbows to give you unrestricted movement. This works very well and no matter how much you move your arms in this jacket it does not get tight on you. I have snowblowed my drive way in this jacket with just a tee shirt on under in 10 degree weather and i was very comfy. Like another reviewer said this jacket is very compressable. Put in a stuff sack and shrink it down to a football. This is one Northface jacket I have nothing neg to comment on. Just outstanding.
