User Review: The North Face Hydrenaline Jacket

Reviewed March 4, 1998 by Brian

Rating:
Fabric: Hydrenaline Microfiber
Fill: Coolmax lining
Price Paid: $90

For activities from running to day hiking to playing tennis with that hot chick on campus, I definitely recommend this jacket as an all around piece of equipment. The breathability of this jacket is phenomenal. As many others have stated, the price is a bit steep for the jacket, but in the long run after having felt (by the way, it's got a really cool feel to it) and seen the way it "breathes", you'll see what I mean by it's worth it.

Advice for those who are looking to purchase...look around..deals are out there, look for companies that are price competitive (i.e. match and beat another companies prices).

Another note...it is NOT water PROOF, but it is water repellent, meaning the fabric is woven tightly enough to keep a light splash out, but it can't say, withstand the force of a firehose like the upper level three ply Gore-Tex Kichatna can. The purpose of the Hydrenaline however, was not to keep out water, but to be able to evaporate it from the body..and it does a superb job of what it was made to do.
