The North Face Edge Fleece Jacket - Men's - 2008 BCS

very comfortable, warm and stylish...i get hella compliments on this jacket. i don't use the hood much but it's pretty comfortable when i wear it. would def recommend picking up this jacket.

if you're thin and have an athletic build don't buy this. even though the sizing says it's performance fit and a small is 28-30, not true. hangs very loose and you'd never want to use this as a layer unless you're shaped like a pear.

I really like this jacket - it's a lot different than most North Face jackets, with its hood and decals on the shoulders. I get a lot of compliments on it and a ton of people have asked me where they can buy one (I've only seen it on BackCountry and at Nordstrom). The jacket is pretty light, but the stretch fabric is thick/tightly woven enough to repel even the biggest gusts of wind. My only complaint would have to be the hood, though - the elastic on the open edge of the hood is so tight that it looks rather goofy to wear (I've been told I look like a turtle with it on because it completely wraps around my ears, hair and forehead, leaving just my eyes/chin/nose exposed, ha ha). The tight hood actually does come in handy on rainy days, though, as it tightly covers your head. Overall, a great, stylish, light (yet warm) jacket.
