The North Face Unity Suit - Men's
Almost Good Enough!

I bought it, tried it on, thought about it for a couple of weeks and sent it back with the following concerns:
1. I am 5'8" and 150lbs. The fit was still a bit large for me, especially in the inseam.
2. There are no intenal suspenders. It would be nice to have these if you are taking a mid-day break at the resort lodge and want to peel off the top portion without shedding the entire suit. Not everyday is heli-skiing day!
3. The internal liner is cheap "thick" nylon which appears to inhibit the breathability of the suit. Would like to see a mesh liner.
4.The hood is not helmet compatible. It's nice to be able to pull the hood up to get some protection from the "heli-blast".
The suit is a good idea but these issues were enough to stay with a two piece outfit.
