For my '07 Varius Guide jacket. I have both in a discontinued Black,(on sale) can't see the difference in this black or the new TNF Black. Both jackets are great on their own, zip them together and they offer some serious cold/wet weather protection. I was looking for a Denali Fleece but I think this is a much better zip-in liner for any North Face compatible shell, it makes it so easy to take the jacket on and off no matter what shirt I have on. Great system.

I have a 2003 beat up hyvent shell and a 2007 mountain light shell...the redpoint zips into both and is super nice on its own. Incredibly light, much less bulky than the Nuptse I had...and is super warm! I can't write a full review because VA temps are not too bad right now..but I'm finally done with the perfect liner and stand alone jacket for my shells. I'm very happy with my purchase. I can only imagine with a little layering underneath I can pretty much sleep in the snow. Granted...I'm talking Virginia here, not Mt. Everest...someone extreme adventurer will have to review it for all that... I'm also very happy with the feel of it, its very easy to put on, and feels much, much lighter than fleece...and for me, feels nicer and smoother than fleece.

Not a huge fan of north face products, but this one I couldn't help but buy. This is one of my favorite pieces of gear. This is my go to jacket in the winter. Great to wear around town when running errands. Great as a layer under my shell when I go skiing. It's super warm, yet not bulky at all. It compresses really nicely to fit in your pack when touring too. I use it to keep me warm when we stop and break for lunch on tours. Works great as a pillow too on overnights. This jacket is great. The primaloft does a great job of insulating. I am always warm in this jacket, but never overheat. I can often wear just a t-shirt underneath when I go out around town, and it still keeps me warm. If you are looking for a versatile insulating layer, look no further. You have found your jacket.
