The North Face Inlux Insulated Jacket - Men's - 2009 BCS

It is perfect for when its way cold outside, I like it for winter days in the sierras. It is so convenient being able to wear just one jacket when you know that it is going to be really cold all day.

Great jacket. I had abandoned TNF a while ago and switched to Marmot because it got too popular. But as winter progressed, I realized I needed a warm, waterproof, breathable jacket with a hood that wasn't too expensive. Patagonia prices are a joke and Marmot just didn't have exactly what I was looking for (I was 2 seconds away from buying a Marmot Ellsworth jacket and realized I hated the look). Enter TNF with their excellent synthetic insulated ski style shells. This one stood out with its excellent $199 price. I was skeptical about the 80g heatseeker because all my other frigid weather jackets were either down or 3 in 1 components/triclimates but I can tell you it does not disappoint. The jacket's style is simple which is nice. Fairly windproof, definitely water proof and the slash pocket comes in handy more than I thought it would. Classic TNF product. If you don't care about wearing what everyone else is and want to be warm and dry without the goofy down style or bulky 3 in 1s, buy this.

From other testimonies I thought this jacket was going to be thicker, warmer insulation. This is a very thin jacket. I don't know where Lebron lives but in central IL it has been in the single digits and this wouldn't do on it's own. I would like if this was more like 120g and zip in compatible. If I could zip in the redpoint it would be very warm. I can still layer it, so I might keep it. Maybe those who don't get cold as easy as I do, it would be ok, but this is very thin. 5'10" 145lbs Med fit good, room for layering, no problems with tightness in armpit area as I had with the NF triclimate jackets. I could probably fit a small but might not allow for layers. Hope this helps.
BC customer service is awesome, many returns for wrong sz and bad fitting jackets. I had to pay for return shipping but I understand. Thanks BC!

I bought this jacket for my son for Christmas and he loves it, i tkeeps heim real warm and he wears it almost everyday. I would recommend this jacket to anyone that lives in a cold weather climate likeCT.
