User Review: The North Face Mountain Guide Jacket (2000)
|
Rating: 
Fabric: Taslan/ 2 ply Gore-Tex
Price Paid: $410 MSRP
A large complaint of other reviewers of TNF product is the price. This shouldn't be a problem with the popularity of this brand. I found this shell for $259.99 -- not on sale. TNF doesn't have very good customer support though. The warranty is great, but it usually takes some time to get things fixed/replaced. I haven't had any more trouble with this shell than with others I've tried from Sierra Designs and Mountain Hardwear. The complaints are true, however. The jacket (mine is a yellow color) will show the darker color underneath the yellow DWR nylon outer fabric once the fabric becomes saturated with water (this will happen on ANY jacket after heavy rain). This is just appearance, not function, and is not noticable on the darker jackets.
This jacket has a great fit. The arms seem longer than previous models -- which was a complaint. I would recommend this jacket, but I think you would be better off spending the extra money on TNF Kitchatna 3-ply shell. It is more durable, but at the same time, heavier and more "crispy."
