Great bc jacket

By Twanet Ranked #22 - Women's Synthetic Insulation Jackets August 30, 2011

I prefer synthetic to down in the back country - better for hiking and for rain - so I was very happy to acquire this excellent jacket, which is a bit lighter than my down sweater and nearly as compressible. I chose the North Face Redpoint over the Patagonia Nanopuff as I prefer a more durable shell material. I am 5'2" 120 lbs and normally wear a medium in jackets/shirts cause I have broad shoulders, but I went for the small (4-6) in this jacket since I needed a small in my last North Face jacket purchase: the Denali fleece. The Redpoint fits a bit tight in the shoulders, but this is fine, as I intend to wear it as a mountaineering jacket over long underwear tops with a gortex shell over it, when needed. If I were to wear it as an around town jacket, I would have bought the medium so I could wear a range of tops underneath.
