The North Face Varius Guide Jacket - Women's
Not Much Bang for the Buck

Ranked #391 - Women's Ski Jackets
February 4, 2008
I have buyer's remorse, not because the jacket isn't good (it is) but because I have found so many others for less money with better features and superior design. The light color seems to attract dirt and after only one washing, it lost its water repellancy. I treated it with Revivex and restored it. I wear it as a shell for alpine and Nordic skiing and it tends to bunch when layered. Disappointing...
