It's been a great jacket so far I use it on days where it's snowing and on really cold windy winter days Can get a little too hot, but it has nice zippers under the armpits and all around pretty good quality with a nice main zipper Velcro zipper covers. Good pockets all around pretty nice jacket doesn't get too wet. It's pretty water resistant

I bought for my son to wear in college in Cleveland, Ohio in the Fall - but we visited last week and the temperature was about 30 degrees and super windy. He was so happy in this jacket - he had it zipped up all the way and the hood on too! Kept him warm and blocked the wind perfectly, plus he looked super stylish :)

It is a perfect insulated jackets for rainy, winter days! Comfortable, quality material and great design! Highly recommended!

For some strange reason I love wearing ski jackets as normal town jackets and I think this jacket deserves a place in my wardrobe. Here are my findings and toughts: 1.- It serves good for a layering system. I have worn a base layer or t-shirt then a hoodie a puffy jacket and then this jacket on top confortably with no restrictions for those extreme winter days. I'm 5-8" 180 lbs wearing an L size. 2.- It has better coverage than town jackets. The high neck hood covers you up to your lips and if you tilt your head a little it almost covers your nose so you get to breath the warm air coming from your body. Also the neck is confortable to your skin. When you have the hood down the high neck reaches your chin so it protects all your neck from the cold air. The sleeves have the same long lenght as any other SKI jacket from Patagonia or Eddie Bauer so in case you dont have gloves you can cover most part of your hands with the long sleeves. The overall length of the jacket is good for my size (5-8"). Not too long to interfere my legs and long enought to cover my rear and genitals. The buttons on the snow skirt are easy to button and separate. So you can button the snow skirt to prevent cold air to come up inside your jacket toghether with the hem adjustment. 3.- Pockets: the two front pockets are fleece lined and confortable, the chest pocket is an okay size for a regular cell phone. 4.- Vents: Altought Im not a very fan of mesh vents I havent felt the difference in breathability compared to non-meshed vents. I have worn this jacket in the spring showers (warmer weahter) with the vents open and the front zipper open (just the front velcros closing the jacket enough to prevent the rain to come in and all the air to pass thru the front and pit vents) and I didnt overheat at all. Not sure if it will work this way in a real downpur but at least light to moderate rain will do using the velcros only. 5.-DryVent Shell: so far the jacket feels very windproof and very waterproof and is not too hard or noisy when wearing. 6.-Overall feel: Its an easy jacket to wear and confortable. I havent use it to actually ski but it has everything a skier would need and it has a great range of movement in the arms. The only thing I dont like about the jacket is the white North Face logo (which is in the front and the back). I bought the black jacket and the logo can be seen like five blocks away. I prefer more subtle logos like Patagonia or Eddie Bauer but this is just me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a exact replacement for a prior Northface jacket of the same style. It is great for all weather below 30 degrees and weatherproof against snow and rain. If additional layers are required, this jacke easily accomodates the layers. The only criticism that I have is that this jacket does not have a feature to clip gloves or mittens. But, it is great jacket, even without that feature.

Super comfortable, just light enough for a warm day on the mountain and just heavy enough to layer up for a cold day

My son thought the sleeves were a bit too long, but the coat did its job and kept him warm in very cold weather

My son wore this for skiing, and it was perfect. Great fit, and will be excellent for everyday wear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The North Face has had the highest quality winter clothing ever made. It lasts for decades. They do honor the lifetime warranty.

Zipper is flimsy, pulled apart on first wear. Customer service was terrible, refused to return even though worn once and defective, said I could mail it in for 6-8 weeks for repair, didn't have any advice on what to wear for the winter while they had my brand new coat.
