If only looks counted for everything
I use this jacket mostly to run in the Minnesota winter, and for that it is fantastic in the wind and cold. However, it is not waterproof and should absolutely not cost as much as it does. I have worn it a few times in the rain/snow and it does not hold up to anything more than a light amount of precipitation. Bottom line? If you're looking for a waterproof running jacket, consider looking elsewhere where your money will go further.
Size a little small
I ordered this on January 27 and received it on January 31. After trying it on, I felt it was a bit small-smaller than the Bionic version I have in the same size (Medium). I set it aside, and on February 27, I checked to see if I could exchange it for a Large. From January 27 to February 27 is 31 days, but I reached out to customer support to ask if the 30-day return period should count from the delivery date instead of the order date. After all, if something is delivered much later-say, February 10-it wouldn't be fair to count the return window from the order date since we can't even try the item until it arrives. Unfortunately, customer support just replied with a generic message saying all returns are within 30 days of the order date, without actually addressing my concern. It felt like they didn't really care. Honestly, I expected better from The North Face.
Highly recommend.
Great jacket. Too light weight for my needs. Better suited for trail running and vigorous outdoor activities such in mild/warm conditions. I needed something heavier weight to beater combat wind, rain and snow and keep me warm.
Great until it delaminates
Used the jacket twice, not even running, just around the house in the rain. Material started delaminating at the collar. Returned through warranty dept
Essential
Though expensive, and if you can make the purchase (thanks, Klarna), I feel like this is an essential piece you're running year-round in the mountains.
Great lightweight running rain jacket
Very light weight and folds up nicely for storage. Was not too hot when fully zipped and running. Really like the double zipper design
I would never buy this again
I bought this jacket for 3 month,on the second month parts of the futurelight membrane was broken.
comfortable slim fit jacket
not only good for runs, but also good for daily use to adjust body temp
Solid rain shell
I run quite a bit and bought this for ultra marathons. After a lot of research, I decided to give this material a try despite the cost. Honestly, I don't feel like it lives up the the marketing hype. With out a doubt the quality is excellent. There's small design details that I love like the cuffs on the sleeves, the blacked out labeling, and sleeve logo. As a membrane layer I honestly can't tell a difference between this and an old hyvent North face I own. Where I think they could improve is I really want armpit zippers to regulate moisture and heat when I run. Also, there's a pocket that the jacket can fold up into, but I found it's more of a " let's just randomly stuff this in here" sort of affair. I think it's possible to design a more methodical way to fold things to get it packed tighter. That's a big deal if you wanna stuff this in a hydration vest. The biggest advantage this jacket has is probably that it works to repel rain and it weighs nothing. The biggest drawback is the cost. Maybe I'm just poor but man that's a lot of money for a rain shell. Even if you're doing a 100 mile ultra. I feel like if they made this exact jacket in a cheaper membrane with armpit zippers for a smaller price then they'd make a killing.
