User Review: The North Face Kitchatna Parka

Nice coat. Light and sturdy. Works great as a multi-season hiking and mountaineering jacket as well as a fantastic ski jacket (very light and inner powder skirt) I really like the cuffs and the fit of the sleeves. This coat is over priced, but North Face has an industry leading warranty that gives their garments life long utility. This is a good buy if you will use it for more than a few years. The Kitchatna jacket is breathable. It still gets a bit wet on the inside, but it also dries very, very quickly. You have to wear this coat to appreciate the feel. Like most North Face shells, this badboy will keep you warm with the proper layering. If you don't get sticker shock this jacket is a 'buy' for serious winter sports people.
