This jacket is very lightweight and not bulky however it is very warm. The keeps dry inside even when its raining, repels wet so well. It fits very nicely and not lose it baggy at all, especially around the waist where many jackets are too wide and make you look like a beachball :) I also love how the back of the jacket totally covers your rear end so you won't get snow blowing up your backside.
Best North face jacket ever. New warning technology, lightweight, waterproof and warm enough for Canada winters. Tested it skiing at night at -40 c with just a cotton shirt underneath and Im very warm n hot. I have 3 other NF jackets including Nuptse 700, McMurdo Bomber, and Triclimate carto and this ione so far beats the rest all in one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The coat feels cheap like its soft cotton not like the Steep Tech I was replacing which was rugged canvas/nylon . But to be fair it does keep me dry and warm. Last winter it rained and was close to freezing most of the winter in the NE. The coat feels heavy like it is soaking up water not shedding it, but I never get wet on the inside.
