Comments about The North Face Varius Guide Jacket - Men's:

The pitzips get hung up every time, from the first time that you try to use them. Possibly resulting in rips and tears. Very poorly designed and awkward to use. I broke a sweat and thought I was doing yoga just trying to use the pit zips. Otherwise it's a great jacket. But I will exchange and give it another chance.
My North Face Bionic Jacket pocket zips do the same thing. I think I may be done with The North Face clothing line.
