"Nice lightly insulated Parka." - Review of The North Face Sonic Stretch Insulated Jacket - Men's

Pro's - Nice quality finish, Water proof / seam sealed,lighly insulated,breathable, mesh backed underarm vents, lots of pockets. Hood fits over ski helmet & zips off, hip length hem with waist powder skirt. This is a hybrid parka, with stretch fabric on the shoulders, back hem & elbow to cuff. The rest of the coat is a heavy weave ripstop. (looks durable.) I chose this over a North Face insulated soft shell (Odyssey) because it was more wind & water resistant,is a little trimmer fit, & has core venting. I wish this was as stretchy as the Odyssey, (As comfortable to wear.) but all around I think it will be a better ski jacket for colder & wetter conditions. I can't give it 5 stars because there is no neck collar cinch, & the linning is not as slippery as I like for layering in the arm area. (kinda grabby) Also after wearing the true softshell any hard shell feels a little clammy & restrictive.
