The North Face Elysium Down Jacket - Men's

Item #TNF3636 | 246 in Stock
4 Star Rating

A great, stylish, and unique jacket, but...

By Ranked #251 - Men's Down Jackets November 2, 2007

I own the Fall 2006 version, which unlike this year came with 800 fill goose down, making it unique here in Alaska, where everyone and their mom owns a 700 fill Nuptse. I was surprised that they reduced the fill to 700 this year. My one big gripe with this jacket is that it's supposed to have some kind of dual Maximus stretch internal water bottle pockets and it has NOTHING of the sort. Believe me I can't tell you how many times I've tried to figure out where they could possibly be hidden. It too bad that they lied in their advertising, but I love the 800 fill down, and just the mere fact that it isn't a plain ole Nuptse, despite the fact that it did cost $80 more (than last year's down Nuptse) and has no internal water-bottle pockets.
