The North Face Redpoint Optimus Jacket - Women's - 2006 BCS

Great lightweight & warm jacket. This jacket is great under a hard shell on a cold day in the powder but also great alone. This jacket appears to be thin, but the primaloft is surprisingly warm.

I just bought a The North Face Ama Dablam and this is the perfect layer for underneath!

This jacket is warm, lightweight and sharp looking. If you need a jacket that will keep you warm on morning dog walk or for a hike in the woods this Jacket will most certainly meet your needs. I am very pleased with this jackets performance .. If you purchase one size larger than you need then you can layer under it (not required as this jacket will keep you warm) but sometimes you never know what the weather may bring so if you want the option of layering.. the next size up is an absolute must. I highly recommend this jacket.

This is by far my favorite jacket I own. Very light and thin but keeps you surprisingly warm. I wear it fall through spring. Definitely recommended.

Being from Texas, I needed a new jacket to keep me warm in my winter Utah home. This TNF masterpiece is lightweight yet keeps me warm and toasty with zero complaints. Even without a shell, it has proven to be an excellent purchase for daily wear during the work week with zero complaints. Amazingly thin, nice lines, female cut—not too long, not too short—it’s just right. The Redpoint Optimus has the hood and the regular Optimus doesn't, the difference is having the having the option to keep your head protected from the elements or styling with a classic collar. Your choice.

I owned a Nuptse before, but found when I was winter camping, it was just too bulky and annoying. So I got an Optimus. It rocks. I found that beyond just providing a lightweight, packable insulating layer, the Redpoint Optimus is awesome for wearing around town or under a shell for skiing. The toughest thing was deciding the classic black or the blue. I went blue and am really happy.
