The North Face Steep Tech Down Apogee Snorkel Jacket - Men's

Love it, I am happy to say that this is one of the best jackets I have ever purchased.

I am currently living in the Alps in Switzerland. Outside dropped to -10oC one night so I thought I would give my new jacket a test run, I decided to talk a walk around the resort. The snow was up to 8inches deep in some places and a moderate breeze really kept the temperature down. I Zipped myself inside and clipped the buckle around waste. As I reached the top of the village I tripped on black ice and slid some way on my back and elbows. When I came to a stop and stood up I inspected the jacket, there was not a mark on it. And other than a little bruised I was also fine.

This truly is a hard core jacket, plenty warm enough and the water proof breathable fabric is perfect for the job!

The only thing I would say is that the jacket is heavy and expensive but if you can cope with the weight, and your wallet with the cost and you need a jacket ready to deal with any thing you can throw at it, then this is the jacket for you.
