North Face Mountain Light Review

I bought this jacket to replace my old Mountain Light jacket that I have had for about 7 years. The new version is great. I feel it is warmer than my previous jacket and I like the fact that there are now hand pockets in the front. The hood is smaller than my previous jacket but shields the wind and elements in the same way. In the rain and wind the jacket is great and does what it is supposed to do. I layer it with an apex bionic jacket. The only complaint I have and it is very minor, I wished that they would have put bungee strings on the zippers for easy access and that the core vents were bigger, otherwise it is a great jacket. Excellent service from this website, the jacket arrived exactly when they said it would.
