User Review: The North Face Mountain Jacket

The North Face Mountain Jacket
Above: The current Mountain Jacket, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Fabric: 2-ply Goretex
Price Paid: $375

I recently bought a 1996 Mountain Jacket and a Denali Fleece for use as a liner. It has worked extremely well in all conditions I have encountered so far. On a recent snow-camping trip I took to Bear Valley, CA, with MAS (An excellent climbing/skiing/telemarking/snowboarding/mountaineering guide and instruction company: http://www.mtadventure.com) the Mountain Jacket kept me warm and dry even after several hours of digging a snow cave.

Also, when it gets extremely windy, I have found that the hood does a very good job of keeping the wind from blowing directly into my face. Additionally, the jacket design is second to none in terms of intuitive design. The velcro on the sleeves allowed me to easily take on and off my guantlet gloves (also NF) w/o having to struggle w/ a sleeve that was too large or small.

Although the price of this jacket is prohibitive for many people, you really do get what you pay for.
