User Review: The North Face Mountain Light Parka

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

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Fabric: 2-ply Gore-Tex
Price Paid: $260

Lightweight shell for skiing and hiking. Easy to jam in your backpack when the sun comes out. Keeps the rain off and the wind out. If you're looking for a durable climbing parka for scraping against rocks and scrambling through branches, get something heavier. If you want to ski in snowy or rainy conditions, it works just fine with a fleece sweater or vest on underneath. I get a kick out of the reviews that pan this jacket for not being a 3-ply rip-stop heavy-duty climbing jacket. They're right - this is a completely different kind of parka that works well for its intended uses. It's cheaper than those heavier jackets, too.
