Love this jacket

Rating:*****

Just right for all but the coldest days. I put a fleece layer under the jacket and sat through a high school soccer game in the 40's that rained the entire game. Most of the game I had no umbrella. The water ran right off. The jacket has a sleek, sporty look with a thin fuzzy liner and not the bulk of heavy fleece. It is light enough to wear inside for sport shows, shopping, etc. Inside the jacket are two large pockets for gloves. The side pockets are lined and feel good on bare hands. If the credit card statement comes and goes without my wife seeing the price, it will be a perfect purchase.

"Warm and light!"

Rating:*****
I love this jacket, it's basic, warm, and light. Perfect for chilly fall backpacking days! Plus, I think it adds like 2x the chick points! The little zipper chest pocket is a great place to store my Ipod, so I can listen to my tunes. Basically, I'm in love with my North Face, minus the current campfire smell.

Great Fit, Functional Jacket

Rating:****
Jacket is great as a casual piece of attire. Blocks the wind well, water repellent, and a trim fit. Good around town, in the paddock, and in the park.
