The North Face Ama Dablam Stretch Infusion Jacket - Men's
Excellent revisions for 2005

Ranked #2506 - Men's Technical Shells
December 7, 2005
I gotta give an A+ to this jacket right from the start. This jacket boasts it all!
It’s comfortable and stretchy but with a hardcore feel. The jacket has two "core vents" and two zip stash pockets accessible from the two core vents. Inside the jacket there is a Nalgene bottle holder on the left and yet another zip stash pocket on the right!
The fit is now quite contoured. Its cut is very performance orientated and has a slight drop tail.
The jacket runs true to size though; I wear a men's small and I'm 5'10", 145lb. The hood has a good brim and is fully adjustable. The jacket has stood up to the upstate New York weather thus far and was comfortable and extremely breathable in the Adirondacks on a climb. No more hard crunchy shell; the quiet 3-layer XCR shell that is the Ama Dablam.
