The North Face Obsidian Triclimate Jacket - Men's
Great Jacket

January 14, 2010
I bought this Jacket for a trip to Tennessee and to use skiing. I used to for skiing and found the jacket perfect. I could start off with both layers then remove the inner layer and compress it in my backpack when the day got warmer. I didn't have a use for the hood that comes with it while skiing and just kept the hood in one of the many pockets built into the jacket.
I then took the jacket to Tennessee where the highs were only in the low 40s and rainy. The jacket vented nicely and I never had a problem with sweating. The hood that came with it kept my head perfectly dry as the jacket kept the rest of me dry. I would recommend this jacket to any one who normally finds themselves hot in a winter coat because the venting does a great job.
