Comments about The North Face Mack Moto Jacket - Men's:

This jacket provides excellent warmth and comfortability. Definitely a jacket you could wear almost any night out on the town. If there is a drawback, for me, it's almost too warm. I wouldn't suggest rocking more than a t-shirt under this.

Comments about The North Face Mack Moto Jacket - Men's:

As the title says, TNF nailed this jacket. I've been looking for a jacket like this for years: trendy casual design with lightweight insulation that has an athletic fit. This is an ideal casual travel jacket during fall/spring or to locations with mild winters.

So let's go down the list of things that I always want to see in reviews.

FIT - I am 6'3" and an athletic 205 lbs. I wear a 34x34 Banana Republic jean and typically a 42L suit. The size large Mack Moto fits me very well with room for a light to medium weight mid-layer over the top of a t-shirt. In fact, the cut of this jacket is more fitted than the generally boxy TNF jackets I have tried on in the past.

I have fairly broad shoulders and regularly experience discomfort when raising my arms in other non-stretch jackets. The fit in the shoulders of the Mack Moto jacket is spot on - it does not appear baggy in appearance but it is not in any way constricting. I am confident that I can wear a mid-weight mid-layer under this jacket and still have a decent range of motion in the shoulders.

I have average length arms for my height and the sleeves in this jacket are long enough, possibly erring just a bit on the longer side (which is preferable to a bit on the shorter side). I am an avid weight lifter and do not experience the tightness in the biceps that I get in other non-stretch jackets when folding my arm at the elbow (as if to scratch my chin). That said, I think the shoulders and upper arms are the two places likely to be a bit tight when I wear this jacket over a mid-weight midlayer. Men with leaner body types will not have to worry about this.

The jacket hits right below my belt line when wearing straight fit BR jeans. I wouldn't be against the idea of having an extra inch in the length but I understand that the style of this type of jacket revolves around a shorter overall length.

WEIGHT - The jacket is not ultra-lightweight like a Mountain Hardwear Compressor Jacket but it is still very lightweight when compared to other casual insulated jackets. As far as the insulation goes, I would have to estimate that it has about half the amount of insulation as the Compressor Jacket. I wore it last night over a t-shirt in weather that was exactly at freezing with light snow falling and was comfortable for the five minutes I was outside. Any longer and I would have wanted a mid-layer. I think the ideal temperature for this jacket will be in the 40-60 degrees range depending on personal comfort levels and activity level.

PACKABILITY - It won't compress to a tiny bundle like your Compressor Jacket (I think that's almost self-explanatory given the names) but it should fit well into a carry-on bag. The material appears to be very wrinkle-resistant and the stitching design of the jacket is such that it will likely conceal what wrinkles remain.

LITTLE NIGGLES - I gave this jacket a five star rating because 4.5 wasn't an option and it definitely deserves a score that is rounded up, not down. Still, there are a few things I would like to see changed with the next iteration:

1) Give it a zipper cover and garage. The zipper is completely exposed and will allow wind to enter through while at the same time giving you the chance to bleed your own blood after you zip your neck into it.

2) Provide an interior pocket. Even just a basic piece of fabric sewn on the inside would be appreciated for storing a passport while traveling. This is the first jacket I've seen in a long time that doesn't provide some sort of interior pocket.

3. Lose the exterior logo. I appreciate that it was sewn in the same color as the rest of the jacket to minimize its visibility but just go the extra step and ditch the front chest and back shoulder logos altogether. I promise to give TNF credit when people compliment my nice new piece of kit.
