Rating: rated 2 of 5 stars
Fabric: Gore Tex
Price Paid: $249

I have the same opinion of this jacket as with all other TNF gear. For around-town use, maybe mild weather, it is a pretty good jacket. But held up to the weather that it is made for, it fails badly. The seams leak water and I wonder if it is truly wind-proof as opposed to wind-resistant, since I rarely stay warm in it. But worst of all is the zipper. TNF needs to start making zippers that don't catch and tear the jacket, because I've seen the same problem in their $600 sleeping bags as well. My suggestion is to buy Mountain Hardwear, as you will never, ever go wrong with their gear. And guess what? Their zippers even work!
