The North Face Varius Guide Jacket - Men's
Great Jacket

I usually use this jacket with a North Face 200 weight fleece zipped into it and am confortable to temperatures down to around freezing. This weekend, I went skiing and it was 15 degrees (-3 with windchill) so I decided to replace my 200 fleece with my 300 weight denali. I stayed nice and warm, and was never cold in those frigid temperatures. Being made of HyVent, not goretex, I was a little worried about the wind coming through, but it preformed great, and I felt no wind.
I love the pit zips and powder skirt that this jacket had. **Also, this jacket has 2 hand pockets which many other North Face jackets don't have. This jacket is cut a little shorter than most other TNF jackets.
