The North Face Men's Sedition II Stretch Jacket rebels against cold, snowy weather. Waterproof breathable Gore-Tex softshell material and fully sealed seams keep you bone-dry. Comfort mapping technology means this jacket has fleece to keep you warm where you need it like on your back but not where you give off body heat, such under the arms. If a storm rolls in but you want to keep ripping, flip up the fully adjustable hood, adjust the powder skirt, and hook the Sedition Jacket to your The North Face pants for a one-piece barrier against the elements. When it turns bluebird, drop heat through Underarm zips and turn up your tunes, which you have stored in the internal media pocket. An asymmetrical closure keeps your chin chafe-free. A RECCO avalanche rescue reflector might help ski patrol find you in case of an avalanche.

Bottom Line: Break all the rules in The North Face Sedition II Stretch Jacket.

This jacket is a skiing shell; I don't think any other use is really appropriate. It is a warm piece (with a thin layer of microfleece), it has an interior snow skirt, and it has a Recco reflector. It has a good selection of pockets -- two side pockets, plus a sleeve pocket, zip up interior pocket on the left, and outside left chest pocket.

However, it's a very heavy garment; if you are using it for anything but lift skiing, you are probably going to come to feel resentful about its weight.

Yet even if you can overlook the weight issue, it had some unfortunate quirks for lift skiing.

1) I only began skiing with a helmet this year (I had to get them for the kids, they were on sale at EMS, I'd heard a radio report about a couple of terrible ski accidents at Whiteface...), and the hood for this jacket (bought only two years ago, after helmet use was widespread) simply did not accommodate the helmet; I certainly missed using my hood while I was on the lift with 15-20 MPH winds whipping away at me.

2) It's cut too slim. While a warm piece, it is certainly not warm enough to keep you warm in single digit F temps with only a base-layer and light mid-layer, which is what it accommodates easily. It needed to be cut to accommodate a real insulation layer (down, fleece -- whatever).

Lastly -- I am not convinced it is as waterproof as it should be. In one wet snowstorm (temp = 30F), I think some moisture got through in the shoulder seams. And there was a fair amount of "smearing" on the shoulder and upper chest where I would have expected the DWR to make all the wet stuff roll off. I have to use it in wet conditions a bit more to verify this, though.

Update colors on the jackets!

It seems like everytime i get this jacket it never matches the color of the website. Sure it not a big thing but still i think all interenet companies selling $500 plus jackets should have photos of stock items updated and corrected.

does the hood stow, zip off, or just sit there?
