I love this thing. | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
Like everyone else says, it is SUPER light and highly compress-able and so fluffy soft! It works great when its really cold for me (although I am not out in the cold for more than 20-30 minutes or so at a time) and when its not very cold, this thing doesn't overheat me. My back isn't all knotted up from the cold when I am walking like with my other jackets and I don't have to layer with this thing. I tested it with only a t-shirt for 15 minutes (walking to a restaurant)in 40 degrees with NO problem. Wasn't even SLIGHTLY cold!!!(not sure what results would've been had I been standing still for 30 plus minutes but who does that???) Zipper zips super easily. Plus, I also get compliments from complete strangers -no BS. Cons - only has 2 pockets. None inside. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS JACKET, I couldn't stop raving about it for the first 2 weeks to everyone! | |

Review Title | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
Since this jacket is Summit Series, it fits more trim than many other North Face Jackets that I own. Super light and packable - this isn't my everyday down jacket, I'm going to save for ski tourning, climbing, and other trips where I need to save weight and space. I've got other jackets that can take the day to day beating. I just used the Thunder Jacket on a 9 day moto trip where I didn't have an inch of extra cargo space, and it was perfect. The 20 denier lining is awesome, really comfortable. | |

The best coat ever | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
WOW! What can I say. I looked for a coat for myself for over a year- researching and trying. Found the women's jacket like this and my husband thought it was great. This year was his turn- a Christmas present that I just couldn't keep until Dec 25. I was SO excited to give this to him, and he loved it. Everyone had made comments about the jacket. The two best features are the near weightlessness and the soft as a cloud fabric. GET ONE! | |

Perfect mid layer with no bulk or weight | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| The Thunder Jacket is outstanding. I was photographing a football game in Kansas City recently and the wind chill was -20. I wore the Thunder jacket over my silk layers and put a high-quality wind break fleece over it and that was all I needed - no big jacket required. The lack of bulk let me work and move as the game didn't I didn't miss a play. It's not cheep, but neither is hypothermia. Buy quality, this is a great piece. | |

I live in the northeastern section of the United States and between fall and spring, you never know what type of weather to expect. I'm also a college student and I prefer to wear light weight, comfortable and sporty clothes. This jacket is all that I could have asked for and much more. It's like wearing nothing, but Its look allows you to wear it in most situations. Thank you Backcountry for your quick and great ordering and shipping service! | |

the bomb! super warm! | |

I have a size Med which fits me perfect! 5'10" 168lb very light and very warm! with a shell and a light base layer you won't have to worry about being cold at all. I get many compliments and I highly recommend this jacket. the down regulates temp so well. as for leaking down I have not had a big problem with that at all... Ladies this would be a great gift for your man! | |

Packs to nothing! | |

This jacket has a great athletic fit. And works great as a mid layer. A very warm jacket for how light it is to carry for ski touring,and ski mountaineering. For wear and tear I think you are better off with the Red point optimus hoody. Great jacket for it's intended purpose. Did I say it feels soft and comfy! | |

Very Happy Purchase | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
Great jacket, super light & warm even in colder temps & yet you can wear it inside & not overheat. Only complaint would be that it needs pockets on the inside & feathers seam to poke through quite often, but I still love it. Looks great too... | |

the jacket is very light but it keeps my fiance and i very warm. I love the way it fits on him and it doesn't look half bad on me either. i wish the pockets were lined but other than that, we're happy with our purchase. | |

Outstanding Jacket | |

This jacket is awesome. Great loft with 800 fill down, Pertex shell and an amazing fit. This will work great as a light weight layering piece. | |

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
This is a warm and cozy jacket BUT within just 2 weeks of using it, it had lost ALL of its feathers in the back area. My backpack compressed the down, and little down feathers would be sticking out and would catch on anything and everything (shells, chairs, sofas). I spoke with TNF warrantee department, and it is going to take 5-6 weeks for me to get it replaced!!!! $230 dollars for a jacket that lasts 2 weeks is completely ridiculous. Yea, it's super warm (comfortable down to the single digits) and light, but the quality SUCKS. PERIOD. | |

Not even worth it | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
This is the first 1 star rating I've ever given here. This has a great sport fit, hugs tight. However I wore it around the house to test it out and within a few hours it already was leaking down. There are around 5-8 holes where feathers are coming/poking out. I'm leaving them there as evidence for my return. Maybe I got a defective one? I would not recommend this to a friend and am promptly returning this. | |
