The North Face  Freedom Insulated Jacket - Men's

The jacket has a really nice style and looks great on my son, which is why we purchased it again. Unfortunately, the zipper is very poorly made. As shown in the photos, the zipper tape started tearing away from the jacket after normal use (1st time wear), making it impossible to zip properly. This is especially disappointing because this is the second jacket we've bought in the same season with the same issue, and once again we are stuck waiting for a refund and in need for a jacket. The design is nice, but the zipper construction seriously needs improvement.

I needed a new ski jacket wanted to love this jacket so much, but this isn't it & I would not recommend it. The jacket looks great and fits well, and did a great job of keeping me warm when layered properly. However, the zippers on the jacket are of terrible quality and are only one-way zippers (although that part I knew purchasing this product). The second time I took this jacket out to ski the main zipper broke and I had to use bobby pins to keep the jacket closed to finish off the day (not gonna let the powder go to waste!). The bells and whistles appear nice, but are of poor quality and does not lend itself well to actually doing snowsports.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, I picked this up during Black Friday deals and I'm in Tahoe right now. This was definitely worth it. Wore it while shredding and held up great. I'd recommend this for your next shredding session. Highs 40 degrees and low 20s in the night. Kept me completely warm and cozy. Not overly hot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It had been years since buying new gear for snowboarding. I was perfectly warm without feeling hot. The size fit as expected; not too loose and more importantly for me, not too tight and restrictive. Plus, I got a ton of compliments on the mountain on my 100% North Face outfit!

My son used this coat 4 times and the zipper came apart and it needed repair under warranty. The coat was 3 months old and purchased from this site. I was informed the repair would take 10-12 weeks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the jacked and it's usefulness in rain as well as in winter but after two months I found stretches in the right pocket of the jacket which is embarrassing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome. Perfect for cold weather. Cute.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Jacket.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: wore this in 30degree weather in Sapporo Japan. Thin and breathable, but surprisingly warm for how thin the jacket was. Didn't even layer, just wore a T Shirt underneath. Stiff when new but softened up after couple days. Cons: weather flap Velcro is heavy duty and aggressive. If you are not careful it easily snags and can ruin delicate clothing
