SummitOnline.com (2010)

A great looking and fantastic shell for the man that loves to be outdoors. This shell will block out all of the unwanted wind, while giving you the protection that you want and need from a great layering piece. This Windstopper Hybrid Full Zip Top for men is very slimming, has an incredible stretch breathable knit material that will move with you as you do, and also regulates your body temperature, keeping you at a comfortable temperature all day long. The Carbon Bamboo Technology enhances the performance qualities of this fabric each and every time that you wear this incredible top for your active outdoor endeavors. The Dried Bamboo is carbonized in a kiln, then ground into a fine powder. This carbon powder is blended with a polymer to form fibers that are woven or knit into this fabric. The end result is a high performance garment in a compressible and comfortable fabric that has wicking properties, these properties move moisture away from your skin, keeping you dry and comfortable. Other features are the odor absorption, molecules are trapped so they do not release any odors and the UV (Ultraviolet Protection) of 30. These performance qualities do not diminish from washings, the carbon is added to the polymer, where it has become part of the fabric instead of a coating that washes away over time. The flat locked seams provide continual comfort, while the reflective trim on the shoulders keep you safe should you go for your nightly run. This Windstopper Hybrid Full Zip Top by North Face is tough and durable which is awesome because this garment will easily become your favorite for many seasons to come.

I love it!

Rating:*****

I bought this for fall/winter bike rides and so far I love it. The "Windstopper" technology actually *does* stop wind. This jacket is extremely thin but fleece lining keeps you surprisingly warm. I pair it up with a cheap H&M hoodie and it's has kept me nice and warm in the 35-40 degree weather we've been having lately. The monkeythumbs are great - put some gloves over them and you'll be in great shape for that bike ride. One thing the description forgot is that there's one large, zippered pocket on the back - very simliar to a cycling jersey. The only negative that I can think of so far is that the jacket sort of holds on to odors more than, say, cotton clothing. Overall, I love this jacket and would highly recommend it!

This lightweight jacket Rules!

Rating:*****

I use this jacket for coming and going to the gym in wintery weather when my inner NORTH FACE layer is covered in wicked away sweat. this jacket looks great and is super comfortable. I love the thumb holes and I also use this as a layer between underlayer and jacket when snowboarding on uuber-cold days. I wish it came in 15 colors because I would buy all of them... you will not be disappointed with this light jacket. The lining would allow you to use it for running in colder weather or even cycling. very versatile and practical. BUY IT!

Great Jacket!

Rating:*****

This jacket is the perfect companion for a brisk fall/winter run! Windstopper fabric on the front fends off the cool breezes and the fleece back allows for just the right amount of cooling and ventilation. The fit is nice and athletic... I'm 6'0" and 165lbs and got the Large... it fits like a glove. Not restrictive, but not something that is going to become a nuisance to run in. I couldn't be more pleased with this one... pair it with a long-sleeve TNF Reckoning tee and hit the road... the Monkeythumbs on the two even line up perfectly! Hope this helps...
