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: $325

I used the Mountain Light jacket up in the mountains of Haiti while doing missions work. Although I did not get the cold temperatures it rained like cats and dogs and I remained perfectly dry, the DWR held up quite well. The hood and body of the jacket fit me very well I am 5'8" and 155lbs. I truely tested the jackets breathablility and can say it passed with flying colors.

DOWN side number one. I wish the jacket was ripstop nylon! #2 the zipper constantly gets caught and sometimes you wonder if a rip is just waiting to happen!! All in All a fine jacket fix the things I mention and it will truely be worth the $325.
