User Review: The North Face Mountain Guide Jacket
|
Rating: 
My wife bought two of these jackets for our most recent trip to Eastern Europe. I thought that the cheap heavy-duty nylon hooded pullover was just fine but apparently she did not agree, in short the jacket was money well spent. It covers all temps from late fall to early spring. For those occasions where space is a premium this and the fleece liner will cover just about anything.
We traveled from as warm and geographically west as the Canary Islands to as Far East as the mountain border of Checslovakia and Poland. The jacket with the accompanying liner proved to be very warm, dry and adaptable.
The only thing that I noticed was that the Velcro is causing a little damage to the jacket but other than that it is fine. It is a truly outstanding cool/cold weather travel jacket. There are so many large pockets, and hidden pockets that you will feel your valuables are very secure behind the heavy-duty zippers and Velcro.
Just a quick side note: Beware of imitations being sold on Ebay and elsewhere. We were almost taken before we found some web sites that pointed out what to look for— in a nutshell only buy from a reputable merchant if you are buying it for its capabilities otherwise you will be sorely disappointed!
