The Swiss Army Knife of Snowsuits

Ranked #304 - Men's Jackets

North Face always delivers a quality product. 12 pockets in the jacket and 8 in the pants! Love all the features & gadgets. I'm still finding new features that I didn't know about. On the pants is a lift flap with a clear window for lift passes and in a side pocket is a leash for gloves. In the arm pocket is a detachable leashed chammy cloth to wipe your goggles. Don't know if I'll ever use the built-in avalanche rescue system, but it's in there. There are 4 zippered vents with mesh windows to keep snow out; 2 under the arms and 2 on the inside thigh. If you buy a car for the number of cup holders, this suit is for you. The fit is made for a taller person as the crotch of the pants is down around mid-thigh. I really like the suit and the price was great, so I might make a cinch or harness to bring the crotch up. Skiing is no problem with good ease of movement. Doesn't seem any different from the baggy outfits worn by snowboarders. You can wear the jacket separate but can't wear the pants separate from the jacket because its the only thing holding up the pants.
