Comments about The North Face Varius Guide Rain Jacket - Men's:
I used this Jacket snowboarding and I stayed dry and warm. I also used it on a film shoot in cold weather and it kept the cold air off of me. The only problem with the jacket is the way the hood is attached it allows for wind to seep through on the sides not a problem if you are layered with the North Face fleece hoodie.

Comments about The North Face Varius Guide Rain Jacket - Men's:
The jacket does feel a little big on me, but I like that. I purposefully got the jacket big because sometimes I need to layer up, etc. I wanted to make sure this would fit over everything. Looks and feels good. Core zips are very breathable.

The folks at REI in Troy Michigan were GREAT! And, the jacket is waterproof, windproof and very warm too if you get a zip in fleece liner to go with it!!! The grey and black color is a good combination.

Comments about The North Face Varius Guide Rain Jacket - Men's:
Husband used this jacket to ski the Austrian slopes and it was very versatile. Able to wear alone with mid layers on warmer days and fit well with Denali jacket for colder days. Husband is 6"0", 175 lbs and fairly broad chested. This fit him well. Blue color was bright with orange contrasting, but not obnoxious and he was easier to spot on the slopes. Only downside was lack of inner pockets since he likes to carry his wallet, sunglasses, and keys in these areas. Luckily his ski bib has a front pocket that he was able to use instead. Overall a good jacket for the sale price.

Comments about The North Face Varius Guide Rain Jacket - Men's:
I bought this jacket as a combine winter and rain jacket. I used to have one of those winter jackets with a heavy liner, but I found a never used it. Instead, I figured this lighter weight jacket would good with other layers as a winter jacket and with nothing as a spring and fall rain jacket. I've only had it for a month, but in that time I've walked many, many city blocks in the rain. It'd defintely WILL NOT keep the cold out by itself, but it has all the proper toold to keep you dry and comfortable.
The only downside I've found is one of the side pockets zippers has broken. I need to take it back to REI to fixing/replacing, but otherwise I've been happy with the jacket.
