The North Face Men's New FUTURELIGHT Defdown Parka

Use in cold weather. Very warm, and physically comfortable. I'm 5'10" 190 pounds. 'Large' size jacket fits well with room for a sweatshirt of even sweater under jacket. Easy movement and large extended hood keeps my head and body dry and warm. Large zipper teeth, easy to zip up or down. Front zipper-cover-flap apparently uses magnets to hold flap in place. Very clever. Exterior appears more to be more of a 'twill-like fabric' than the traditional smooth surface of most down jackets -- a nice feature. This is a great jacket. Says who? I have been buying North Face Jackets for 45 years.

First off, I'd like to say that if you're looking for "the" stylish winter jacket for men, look no further. I want to give a shout out to Drew at the North Face Chicago team on 875 N Michigan Ave! Thanks for making shopping for myself so much easier, and being so knowledgeable with all of the North Face products. Secondly, not only is this jacket warm, has the amazing Gore-Tex II technology, it is also very stylish. Yes, the jacket runs a bit bigger, I'm 6'0, 195lbs, medium-build and even with a hoodie I had to go down a size (I also like my coats slightly fitted). As a student-athlete, not only is the jacket in the mid-range of affordability, it definitely lives up to the North Face reputation for GREAT winter wear standards.
