"Perfect Blend" - Review of The North Face Plasma Thermal Jacket - Men's

I have been looking for the perfect winter jacket for a long time. I've experimented with many, from MHW fleeces to some of backcountry.com's own softshell work (which is impressive, but not quite what I wanted). I needed a hood, waterproofing, wind resistance, and warmth, and I wanted to limit the bulkiness, weight, and clutter that usually comes with either layering or heavily packed down. This takes care of it all. At 5'11 and 185, the L fits great with room for some moderately heavy layers underneath if needed. The hood is even insulated, which is a big plus because you want your noggin warm when making the ascent. The pockets are nicely lined. Only downside that I can see is that there are only 4 pockets. A mesh pocket on the inside would have been great. Everything else is wonderful.
