User Review: The North Face Mountain Light Jacket
|
Rating: 
Fabric: 2-Ply Gore-Tex
Price Paid: $250 (sale '99)
I just returned from a week trip to Yosemite where it snowed nearly two feet in two days. The Mountain Light was excellent in the following categories: waterproofness (i stayed bone dry) and breathabilit (i stayed bone dry). The hood worked well but because of its use of elastic cord it felt as if you were exercising your neck on a solofex when you cinched it tight.
My concerns are these: with gloves on (not large shell mittens but simply fleece liners mind you) it became a chore to utilize the front zipper as well as the snap closure. The liner zipper continued to get in the way each time I zipped up. I suppose if you do not mind a few seconds of mild frustration it is a minor issue. Concerning the snaps, aside from the lowest and the hightest you had to press against your body to get them to close. Though it may be less durable velcro closures may be a tad more effective.
