Great Jacket
Anonymous9 months ago
Just picked this up a few weeks ago. Great fit and love the armpit zip vents which I used extensively during a recent warm and rainy (very) trip. Was able to compare this jacket with someone who had a water resistant one and while I stayed completely dry I can't say that for the other person!!

Not a rain jacket
7 days ago
I was very excited about this jacket and initially thought it was the best among five different brands I tried. I used it for a couple of hiking trips in conditions that were mostly foggy and windy, where it performed well. However, I’ve spent the last two months in Mexico City, where it rains every day—ideal weather for testing its waterproof capabilities. Unfortunately, I found that this is not a true rain jacket. It allows water to permeate almost immediately—while not 100% of the rain, enough to soak through and wet my T-shirt within a few minutes.

Light duty rain jacket
5 months ago
Jacket fits well but the under arm zippers should be closed prior to getting into. Fabric is thin but retains heat well and is water proof as described. I won't use it for outside heavy working conditions, just for walking around and light duty activities. It's perfect for watching baseball/football games or during downpoors going to and from the store. It can be folded up easily for backpacks and carry on luggage and is great for the coastal weather conditions.

True fit and keeps you completly dry
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Previous to this jacket, I had a Hyvent that lasted around 7 years and needed to be replaced because the waterproof insulation started to break apart, so the standard is set really high. I bought this as a replacement, and the fit is a bit snug, since I live in a country with a really hot weather, this is not an issue, but if you need to use layers you have to take that in consideration while selecting de right size. I must say I'm not a fan of the rain cap hanging all the time as a hoodie, but that aside, I think this jacket is really worth the price. Keeps you completly dry and I really like thte pit-zip venting, this makes a whole difference while hiking.

While we loved the color the fit was a bit too slim in the hips. We went with another brand for that reason and returned this jacket.

Very dry and warm to boot
2 months ago
I've worn this a few times in spitting, cool rain in the Driftless Region and it's kept my upper body completely dry. It's also pretty warm, which I very much appreciated in May's cold mornings. The only downside is that it's so stiff, the hood doesn't turn with my head. When I look left or right, I see the inside of the hood. But, I was in and out of a white pine plantation, brushing up against soaked boughs which would drop a slug of water on my head, and I never got wet, so pick your poison, I guess. If you're working, it's ideal. If you're birding, you might want to find a more flexible jacket.

Jacket is decent but couple complaints
3 months ago
First complaint is with North Face. I called to get more specific product info and the employee couldn't help me and I was just looking for sizing info that wasn't listed. Second complaint...I had to return an item that didn't fit and it took almost a month to process my return because of the 3rd party shipping carrier Northface chose which is ridiculous Third complaint is with the jacket itself. I chose the black and as you can see from the photos has no logo on the interior lining. The jacket I recieved had northface logo all over the interior. I'm not dealing with sending it back at this point because I'm leaving on a trip and needed a coat but I wouldn't buy from Northface again in the future

Two major flaws
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the material and zippers. But like other reviewers have stated, the hood is way too big for a normal sized head. It seems to have been designed for use over a helmet. There's no way to cinch it smaller when not wearing a helmet so it obscures your vision. Wearing a baseball cap helps. The other issue is the pit zips, which cannot be open/closed with one hand. It's difficult to hold one end of the zipper with one hand and zip it with the other, meaning you have to take the coat off to zip them open or closed. Other than those two (big) issues, it's a great coat that keeps you dry.
