Definitely not too heavy. It's warm without weighing you down. Very comfortable fit; not bulky.

The jacket is very warm, but you can take out the liner. I think the liner is what makes the jacket so warm. I absolutely love the jacket! Hope that helps.

Yes it does-

I got the Triclimate specifically for skiing. The weather was not terribly cold any of the days I went skiing (always between 25-30 degrees), and I was never cold. I wore thin clothing underneath - thin long underwear, and a turtleneck, and didn't need anything else. It worked perfectly for what I needed.

The North Face Triclimate jackets, the liner can be zipped into the shell. This enables you to zip-up or remove both jackets with only using the outer zipper.

psi is the way they measure waterproofness...25psi is pretty darn waterproof--unless you are in a sustained downpour for hours, this jacket will be perfect. Great for snowsports and everyday wear, which is what its designed for.

That means if a water stream is coming at you at 25PSI or less it will not get you wet.

in terms of warmth, quality, and warranty, both are about the same. north face jackets tend to be more fashion forward, however, columbia has really upped there designs in the last few years. all in all, i dont think its worth the extra price for TNF over the Bugaboo.

Hi - It is one of the warmest linners that North Faces uses in it's Triclimate series of 3 in 1 jackets. The only one that would be significantly warmer would be The North Face Down Triclimate Jacket. If you find yourself getting cold a lot during the winter, I might suggest bumping up that model, otherwise I think you will find the Atlas to be a very warm jacket.
Hope this helps-

Hi Caroline - they are going to pretty close in warmth, but I will give the slight edge to the Atlas - it has a slightly heavier fleece liner. The Boundary on the other hand gets the edge for comfort- the high loft super soft liner jacket is really comfortable.
hope this helps

The main part of the back is orchid; the dark purple part comes up the sides. Beautiful color; I have gotten many compliments on it!

Hi - The shell material is nicer on the Atlas, and the other big difference between the liners is that the Atlas has a 200 weight fleece liner while the Greta has a much lighter 100 weight liner. It sounds to me like the Atlas would be the better choice for your climate. It has a black liner jacket.
Hope this helps
