User Review: The North Face Mountain Guide Jacket
|
Rating: 
Fabric: 2-ply Gore-Tex
Price Paid: $199
I hope this may help any prospective buyers who are considering TNF.
The jacket has enough features to consider it as overkill, but you will appreciate them when you need them. The strong fabric is great, and the core vents on the 2000 model are much more convenient than the pit zips.
For those who complain about the fit of TNF jackets, just try a jacket on before you buy one. I would also recommend a darker colored jacket as the lining shows through the light colored shells. Many people also criticize TNF for being trendy or selling out to the general public, but it happens with everything. I have lived my whole life in San Diego and seen this many times with surf clothing. When a company has a loyal following and becomes widely known, the people who fancy themselves as knowing something that nobody else does get mad and move on to some other "boutique" brand. I'm sure that yuppies will be wearing MTN Hardwear soon enough.
It isn't worth it to pay anything close to the $410 list price for this jacket, so just be patient when searching for a good deal. I got mine at campmor for $199.
