The North Face Nimble Softshell Jacket - Men's

Item #TNF6163 | 163 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Excellent, reasonably-priced jacket.

By Ranked #661 - Men's Softshell Jackets March 10, 2008

The TNF Volt jacket is very reasonably-priced, and skips on a lot of expensive extras like seam-taping, wrist closures etc. However, it looks great, is super light, and wonderfully breathable. I'm not sure it would work very well in heavy rain, or long periods of melting snow, and the fabric is not 100% windproof. But the surface is tough and sheds snow very well. All in all, this is great spring skiing jacket, and is permeable enough to work as a layering piece too. I also plan to wear it for climbing in the spring. I'm 5'11", 160 lbs, and the M is a great fit, with enough space to wear a fleece underneath.
