The North Face Tritronix II Triclimate Jacket - Men's - 2008 BCS

I ordered this in mid-December when it was 20% off and I was instantly pleased with my purchase. I got the tank green coat in XL (I'm 6 feet tall, 225 pounds) and it fit perfectly. I don't really camp, ski, or snowboard, but I still needed a warm coat to get through the winter here in MN (it was -21 yesterday), as even waiting for a bus for 15 minutes outside can be an "extreme" experience. The fit is perfect, the features (pockets, 3-in-1 system, removable hood, etc) are all very functional, and it looks great too. This was my second purchase from backcountry.com and I hope to deal with them again in the future.

LOVE this coat but this site & every other site incorrectly has the coat listed as available in black on brown, which doesn't exist. I even tried to order it directly from North Face, who ALSO told me that it was available per the pic but alas, when I received it, it was black on black. Backcountry.com was very helpful w/ the return however, so I put the onus more on North Face than Backcountry.com.

I purchased a medium North Face Tritronix II Triclimate Jacket about a month ago from Backcountry. I am about 5'10" and 170 lbs. and the jacket fits perfectly. A large would have been too big. This Jacket is awesome. I have so far worn it in temperatures reaching below zero with the windchill with nothing but a t-shirt on for the base layer. I was completely warm and felt absolutely no wind through the jacket. I can't wait to see how it does in even colder temps.

The snap-in liner is pretty sweet by itself and relatively warm. It looks good also. The outer shell seems to be completely waterproof. I have worn it in several cold Fall downpours and not a drop of rain soaked through the shell. Water just rolls off of this thing.

There is a ton of storage options on this jacket and it has a really neat system for an MP3 player. It has a built in goggle or glasses wipe in the sleeve that you can pull out as well.

I am very happy with this jacket so far. Another great product from the North Face and more excellent service from Backcountry! Thanks!

I ordered the Tritronix II during the 20% off sale a couple weeks back. I was psyched to find it at that price. I ordered a size Large in black. Based on the pictures on the Backcountry web page (and others I had seen) I was expecting the liner to be brown. It's not (it's black like the outer shell). At first I was pissed about this because one of the things that attracted me to this jacket was the contrast between the black shell and brown liner. I don't understand why the pics on the web page don't match what you get when you order. But, after trying it on I still like the coat even with the black liner. I also didn't expect the liner to only attach to the shell in 3 places (both cuffs and the back of the neck). I was hoping for more of a zip-in liner like you get with most 3-in-1 jackets. I haven't had it long enough to know how much of a pain this is going to be. So, overall I'm still glad I bought this jacket, especially at the price I paid. But I think Backcountry should do a better job of providing accurate information about this product.

If you are looking to have a zip in liner to make it one coat this is not the one for you. The sleeves snap in at the cuf and the back snaps in at the top. However, you have to zip up two jackets when you have the liner in for this coat. Not the true three in one that I was looking for.

Great jacket...Not too bulky, good for everyday wear or boarding...
