The North Face Caber Hybrid Jacket - Mens
almost perfect
By surrational
Ranked #33 - Men's Technical Shells
February 22, 2006
The caber has all the features I look for in a shell: 3-layer construction, full-time hood, core vents (instead of pit zips), NO powder skirt (just bunches up on me anyway) and an athletic fit. The only fault is in the softshell panels. I knew they wouldn't be waterproof but they're not nearly as water resistant as other softshells I’ve had. In fact, I think this shell would be perfect if it wasn't a hybrid. You have the core vents already, why do you need breathable (and unadjustable) softshell panels? It’s redundant. Overall, I do have to say I’m happy and would still recommend it as long as you don’t intend on using it in even a very light drizzle.
