The North Face Flash Jacket - Men's
Toasty warm and light
By Saskabush
Ranked #414 - Men's Down Jackets
October 5, 2007
The jacket is extremely light and warm. It stuffs into the front left pocket so it packs very small. I had the 2006 version with the 900 fill and had the same problem that everyone else had with down leak. I wound up getting the 2007 version (with the newer square shaped baffles instead of the older tubes) and have had no problems so far. It now has 800 fill but seems just as warm as my old one without the annoying leakage. I am used to wearing a size large but at 6'0" 190 lbs, the medium fits just right.
