Gotham Jacket === Excellent===

By Jonathan D Ranked #4552 - Men's Down Jackets February 22, 2007

I was window shopping on the 26th Dec 06 and saw in my local Blacks store a really nice North Face Jacket, It wasn't the usual thing Id go for (furry hood), I always think of the Parka Jacket from the 70's where the hood rolled so far forward it got the name of 'The Snorkel Jacket', I never liked those jackets.
However this Gotham Jacket I'd make exceptions for. It's waterproof, windproof and breathable. Three reasons why I decided it was on my shortlist. As a big bloke and one of life's hot blooded creatures I tend to give off a lot of heat and can perspire, OK SWEAT, quite a bit. This jacket takes care of it due to it's wonderful breathability. It's also extremely light in weight for such a jacket and I think that helps as you're not carrying a weight on your back which would usually bring you out in a sweat.
As I live in the UK I was glad to get this Jacket for the cold weather we have had this Jan / Feb 07. I know it's not the cold you guys get in the US, but hey, nights at -5 here is pretty cold OK.
A first class purchase, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good breathable, water and windproof jacket. A real first class product.
