The North Face Plasma Thermal Jacket - Men's
Great jacket

Ranked #948 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets

I have used the TNF redpoint hooded for the last 3 years. I bought this jacket because I have never been warmer skiiing, boarding or everyday use since using primaloft. But the redpoint was not waterproof, this one will be much better because of the waterproof material. Only complaint is it is kind of bulky feeling compared to the redpoint. I would actually prefer the hood to be attached, makes it less bulky.

almost anything feels bulky compared to the Redpoint (great jacket btw), this also has more insulation and does the PrimaLoft One tend to be more fluffy than the PrimaLoft Eco? I just ordered the Plasma, will testify soon. It will be replacing the NF Inlux, not as much insulation and has the heatseeker insulation. Excited to see the difference with this jacket. Thanks for all those who share, it helps!
