The North Face Helium Jacket - Men's
Unexpected

Ranked #1486 - Men's Softshell Jackets

I was expecting a little more insulation, but was very surprised to find that the jacket is strictly a shell. Understanding that it is just a shell, this is a great jacket from North Face. It does keep some warmth and is good at blocking wind. I have yet to test the water resistant abilities of this jacket out side. I have splashed some water on the jacket and am confident to say that the water beads and rolls off. For the type of jacket, or wind breaker, this gets a top rating from me. Price is an issue, but with TNF, you do get what you pay for.
