I've had a free thinker jacket for ~5 years (pre off-kiltered zipper). This jacket is awesome. I have abused this jacket and it still doesnt show wear, simply bombproof. I've hit evergreen branches in the breckenridge, rub rock at snowbird, snagged a sharp tree limbs at snowmass. I have the black/grey color and wish they sold it with some color. Apparently, i blend right in with the masses and am hard to pick out. The hood fits over my helmet, the powder skirt is great, the goretex is still hanging tough.
My model did have some 'stripping' on it for aesthetic purposes, which started to come off. I sent it back to NF in the offseason and they fixed for free. I have nothing bad to say about this jacket.
