"I have owned the newer version w/ wrist and waist adj. for 3 years. I live in eastern Pa. This is an awesome shell.

Most of my time is spent on the A. T. I live 7 miles away!! I have used this as an outer shell with the Denali as insulation and a long sleeve wicking top at -14 and was comfortable."

"Unless it's in the laundry, this has been my go-to jacket for cooler days (55 degrees or cooler) here in Colorado Springs. I wear it mostly around town, and have only worn it once when snowshoeing. During the snowshoeing trip I wore a hoody underneath, but removed the hoody about 30 minutes into the trek and just wore the soft shell with a Dri-Fit long sleeve shirt."

"I was on the peak of Algonquin Mt. in the ADKs when a rainstorm came through on a particularly windy day. The jacket was already doing a great job of blocking the wind, and not one ounce of rain soaked through the jacket. Even though the rain eventually stopped, I wore it all the way down to the base of the mountain without taking it off on a 75 degree day."

"I have owned this jacket for five years now, so I have an older version. I believe they have improved the jacket with a draw cord for the waist and Velcro wrist adjustments. If my jacket had these improvements I think I would like it a lot more.

The Good:
Really warm jacket that isn't flashy."

"Nice jacket for the price, definitely worth it. Never owned a North Face shell before, but this one's definitely a keeper. I like the material, which seems very similar to Polartec Powershield, but does just as well to cut out the wind. The jacket is advertised as Windproof at 0 CFM, which is very good."

"Pretty good jacket for the weight and price. Doesn't seem like the windblocker works that great tho. It doesn't really repel water either, but it at least stops it from soaking all the way through. Mine is older so it doesn't have wrist or waist closures, which makes it a bit colder too. I like all the pockets though."

"Great jacket! New improvements include wrist adjustment straps and waist cinch cord. Very lightweight and still keeps the wind out."

"I love this jacket. I own several North Face jackets, one of which is a Denali, and I wear this jacket out more than any other jacket I own. Keeps me warm in the winter and breathes very good in the summer. I don't leave home without it. It also has very pleasing appearance!!"

"An absolutely wonderful jacket -- stylish and functional. From the time that you put it on, you will find it hard to believe that it functions as well as it does with such light weight and miniscule bulk.

Despite all the praise, it did have one major caveat that unfortunately I could not live with."
