- Gore-Tex shell jacket has a waterproof breathable membrane that keeps you dry from wet weather outside, while still allowing sweaty vapor to escape underneath the shell
- Seam sealing adds to overall wet-weather protection by eliminating the potential for moisture to enter at fabric interfaces
- Front hand pockets in the shell and fleece hold small essentials and have a clever vented-backing so the pockets double as ventilation points
- Small features like a removable hood (shell), adjustable cuff tabs (shell), and a center stormflap (shell) add to overall comfort amid harsh weather
- Goose down liner jacket can be worn alone on cold days or it can be zipped into the shell to serve as an insulating layer when truly nasty weather rolls in
- Zip-in compatibility allows you to use a variety of The North Face shell or insulating layers with either the Triclimate's shell or fleece layer

I'd like to buy the "North Face Mountain Light Triclamate Jacket" but I want to Know if the goose down liner jacket is breathable too?
Arthur Debowski

It is light fabric that is breathable, however it is not specifically designed to deal with the immense heat of high output cardio activities. For moderate use it will be just fine.

Yes it is. The fabric is much lighter so it'll breathe on its own just fine.

Just got this jacket & it immediately got put to the test. Had a fire drill at work (live in midwest) & had to stand outside for nearly 30 mins w/ zero degree windchill. I must say I was impressed. Downfall, hood is too thin & I was still a kinda cold overall which is why I am returning it for a different one. 20 plus degrees you're ok. Teens its iffy. zero & single digits you might be cold. Guess it depends what kind of activities you will do with your jacket & if you are naturally a warmer person or always the one who is colder than everyone else (thats me). If you are on the move you should be fine which is the main purpose of this jacket.
Great product

I got this as a Christmas gift for friend and they love them. It keeps them warm and dry when they go out on their snowmobiling trips.
Decent.

I got my first day in with this jacket today and it was okay. I had it in 8-15 degree weather in the morning with only a lighter weight baselayer shirt and my stomach got really cold at times. If I had worn a heavier baselayer or a slim fitting fleece sweatshirt I probably would've been alright. I also own TNF Mechanic jacket which has always kept me warm even with a lighter weight baselayer like the one I wore today so that's why I didn't think I'd need anything heavier. Both jackets have similar down liners but this Mountain Light wasn't all that warm in really cold temps and forget about using it in anything below 0. It looks cool, it's comfortable, and I'm sure the Gore-Tex will be nice in snow or rain because Gore-Tex is hard to beat no matter how it's incorporated. The pockets are kind of weird too-two inside deep pouches on each side and then two outside pockets which double as vents. Not very convenient unless you want to lose the articles of the outside pockets every time you get too hot.
Not for cold weather!

I had this jacket for a week, and was unimpressed with it. The outer shell is awesome and keeps all wind and moisture out, but the liner absolutely sucks for colder weather. I assumed that the liner would be filled with down, but they put almost no down on the sleeves. If you're going to use it for temperatures over thirty, it will be adequate -- but for anything below freezing, this jacket will not keep you warm. I ended up returning it and buying a TNF men's Nuptse 2 Jacket, and a Men's Varius Guide Jacket (I zipped the two together). My setup was only a couple bucks more than this jacket, and it is a ton warmer and more comfortable.
Great Jacket

Bought the jacket for my husband. He wore this skiing in minus degree weather. Nice and warm. Fit is perfect.
wonder about jacket

The thing I wonder about this jacket is the liner. It is a combo of down and a stretchy material. The stretchy material runs all the way down the side and down the arms. Hey Northface is this a cost cutting measure or venting?? I don't know whether I would be willing to wear it by itself. It looks weird made this way. I did wear it inside the shell on a very cold 17 degree day and a blasting wind and it kept me warm but how it really functions on the slopes I don't know. The shell is Goretex and will keep you dry. I have worn it in a rare rain storm here in NM. The shell has a mesh lining in the pockets, I think this will make it more multi use. I need gloves on cold days with the pockets made this way. The jacket has no pit zips. The pockets are very long are probably designed that way to be pockets and venting. The shell can be worn just as a light jacket or rain jacket. The hood kept the wind off of my head but isn't warm, you need a beanie or something to keep your head warm. The hood is adjustable for those who do wear helmets.
