The North Face Alliance Jacket - Men's
Best I have had in years.
By Russell
Ranked #2003 - Men's Technical Shells
April 10, 2008
I wanted a good shell that could fight off the rain and keep me dry. The armpit zippers are great, for when temps aren't very cold. Where I live, it tends to be wet a lot and the temperature varies a lot throughout the year. I recently wore it while helping my neighbors evacuate during a recent flood, and the shell performed better than expected even without the hood. There is an extra zipper for adding a layer, and it does fit on the large size for that reason. The price isn't that bad when you want quality. A good outershell is worth every penny.
