The North Face Deception Jacket feels so light and soft that you might hesitate to grab it when the forecast is calling for a deep freeze, but Gore Windstopper combined with Primaloft One insulation make this ski jacket deceptively warm even on cold-smoke January mornings. Add in a powder skirt, pass clip, RECCO reflector, internal goggle and media pockets, and the Deception becomes a no-brainer for anyone ripping up the Continental Range in mid-winter. Or let it be your pre-dawn skin track companion, and pack a super-light hardshell for changing conditions.

Great jacket

Rating:****

I've used this jacket for a month now and it's been exactly what I was looking for -lightly insulated jacket that I could use on semi-cold days when a full down jacket would be overkill. The only change I would make to the design of this jacket would be to change the cuffs from elastic cuffs to open cuffs with a velcro enclosure so that they can fit over my ski gloves. Other than that, it was a nice pick up.

Favorite Jacket to Ski in. Period

Rating:****

This jacket is one of the warmest things to ski in ever. The Primaloft mixed with the Windstopper make for a super warm, super mobile piece that you can ride in with just a baselayer under. Its awesome. It does, however, not have Pant-a-locks like I expected.. north face should fix that up. Oh, and the screen printing is awesome on the inside. If you want a warm jacket for the Rockies, this is it!

If you like the Redpoint Optimus..

Rating:*****

Check this jacket out. I bought this jacket to replace a beat up Redpoint Optimus and it has been a great replacement. Same great hood and insulation package, but with the additional benefits of Windstopper, longer length, and snow skirt. Great value.

Deceptive lightweight jacket

Rating:****

Throw on a baselayer and this jacket and you're pretty much good to go, it's extremely lightweight, but it's a great windstopper and the snow skirt will keep the powder out and you warm and dry.

nice jacket

Rating:****

Honestly I just use for outside winter in Chicago. Works great and not too restrictive.

No RECCO

Rating:*****

Just FYI, this jacket does NOT have the Recco unlike its description implies
