The North Face Redpoint Optimus Insulated Jacket - Men's
My only jacket for two years

Before working at BC.com, this was my ONLY cold weather jacket. If you are looking for something to wear 99% of the time when cold, this is it. Not waterproof, and found that the "kiss" of PU is pretty insignificant, even by Utah standards. The second time I wore this was in Moab, during intense rain and snow (freakish). I was warm, even though my jacket was somewhat saturated.
