Great All-Around Jacket for 3 seasons | |
| Rating: |  |
| I was looking for a nice warm jacket that I could wear during cold winter months here in the Northeast. Something to take out on hikes as well as wear to work and look good. This jacket fills those criteria and more. Very light and packs down small to fit in a pack and also fits nicely under a shell if the rain/snow gets really intense. If it's a mild snow or rain storm this jacket repels it well. The hood is ideal for wearing over a baseball type cap that I wear to keep the rain off my glasses. It's probably designed to fit over a helmet and looks a bit strange if you wear the hood over your head with nothing else but it is more than funtional if not a bit thin compared to the rest of the jacket. It's a snug, altheltic fit and probably runs small for North Face gear as I am a small guy and this fits great - a rarity for TNF gear which usually runs too large for me. It also has a good combination of pockets with a napoleon chest pocket on the outside, which works great when worn under a shell and a very deep internal pocket that can hold a medium sized water bottle or a some large gloves. Highly recommended. | |

perfect all around jacket for climbing, backcountry skiing... | |
| Rating: | |
| i bought this jacket the day i returned from a trip into the teton backcountry. i skied backcountry lines for a week in -20 degree weather and needed this jacket!! it is perfect after a sweat slog on skis or a stairmaster bootpack up a peak - just at the moment you cool off and the wind drops your body temp with a swift hand. the hood provides great warmth and wind protection and fits over a helmet. one napoleon pocket on the breast and two handwarmers on the stomach. this piece will be very handy in the pacific northwest as it insulates when wet and is very durable. the jacket will accompany me on all backcountry ski trips moving forward and will be a great warmth piece when belaying in the early and late climbing seasons. hell, i will use it after paddle trips on washingtons very cold rivers. use this puppy freely and often.... it will last. | |

The perfect backpacking jacket? | |
| Rating: | |
| I bought two of these jackets from Altrec...one for backpacking/kayaking and one for urban/mall wear. I used it for a Wind River/Wyoming early summer trec.and an early season, week long Voyageurs NP kayak trip in wet/windy weather. Stuffs very compact into it's own pocket...extremely light weight...is water proof (tested in downpours)...fits big enough to layer under if the layer is not too bulky since it is overall somewhat of an athletic fit. I usually wear a large and ended up with 2 mediums since the cuffs allowed the sleeves to slip onto my hands too far. I love the tighter fit the mediums allow but maybe most would like the "average/normal" fit which you get by ordering your actual true size. I tried many many jackets and with the weight/fit/compact stuff size not to mention being extremely attractive (tons of compliments) I had to order another one...it was that great!! | |

Water and windproof, warm and worth every dollar spent | |
| Rating: | |
| Living on the east coast we've had our share of snow, rain and cold in the last couple weeks. I wore this jacket right out of the box, over a t-shirt and thermal longsleeve and headed out. The jacket is incredibly light, and the insulation is superb. I was breaking into a sweat with a normal walking pace. The hood closes up along the neck, and is snug around the head - kept water, ice, and snow out. Water beaded off the hood, shoulders, sleeves. After three days of use, and brushing some dirt off the elbows, the jacket looked like it did when I first put it on. Quality you expect from North Face, with superb performance. | |

Great lightweight jacket | |
| Rating: | |
| Great jacket. i am a business traveler and needed a thin, lightweight jacket that looks professional and still manages to keep me warm even through the winters of the great lakes and new england. I was pleasantly surprised just how warm this jacket really is! The fill is very light and compactible and the jacket takes up minimal space in my carry on. Be aware that it is not completely waterproof so I bring a hard shell when in the pacific nw. It does seem to repel water quite well in light rain however. | |

Great jacket! | |
| Rating: | |
| The Redpoint Optimus jacket is further proof that synthetic fill is far superior to down fill. I also own a Patagonia synth filled winter jacket and the North Face is every bit as warm and well-constructed, but the Redpoint is a little better looking. It stays warm when wet and doesn't lose it's loftiness, unlike down. Also, it's so much easier to clean than down: You can throw it in the machine and dryer. I just wore my Redpoint in single digit weather in Manhattan and it kept me cozy and comfortable. 5 Stars! | |

Very Warm and Lightweight Jacket | |
| Rating: | |
| You may not be able to tell from the picture, but the jacket is unbelievably light. The Primaloft material makes it about half as heavy as my already light North Face Denali jacket, but don't let that fool you; the jacket is quite warm and rivals my goose down jacket. This makes it extremely easy to move around in- a perfect candidate for winter sports. Also, it completely repels water to the point that I'm not sure that I can even wash it. Overall, a great jacket and well worth the money! | |

Awesome Light Puffy Coat | |
| Rating: | |
| This coat is great! I love that it isn't a big down puffy coat. It is just a light puffy that is still really warm without the bulkiness. On really cold days it is helpful to wear a long sleeve underneath. It also allows for layering on the really frigid days. I have used this coat just to wear around campus and just as casual jacket. I wouldn't wear it skiing because of the possibility of snagging a branch, the material is kind of thin. | |

This thing is perfect for just about anyone | |
| Rating: | |
| I've gotten a lot of compliments on this slim, but surprisingly warm jacket. It sheds a lot of the bulk but retains its ability to be used around the town during winter. In sub-20 degrees you might have to layer underneath, as I do. On 95% of winter days, however, it's perfect. I use this jacket from October to March in Michigan. Very versatile and especially fashionable. The hood is also the best hood I've ever seen on a jacket. | |

Review Title | |
| Rating: | |
I really can't believe this jacket doesn't have any reviews yet - it has nothing short of a cult following. It is amazing how some of the most simple designs are some of the best. Nothing too crazy here, just a really usable 100 gram insulation package, GREAT fitting hood, and the nice benefit of a kiss coat of extra water resistance on the hood and shoulders. If I could only have one jacket, this would be it. | |

Redpoint Comparison | |
| Rating: |  |
| The 2003 ($99) model of the Redpoint Optimus Jacket is a very good jacket with it's included features. Removable sleeves, sleeve pocket, hood cinch, and primaloft insulation. The 2005 version of the same jacket is ($199) and has less features than the 2003 model. The 2005 version is without the above 2003 features listed above at twice the cost. The only features that are better on the 2005 model are that the primaloft feels like down, and the "kiss" of hyvent to protect the wearer from water absorption. If I has a choice I would choose the 2003 version of this jacket. | |
