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 3 of 5 stars
Fabric: Nylon

I bought it for mountaineering. It's a great jacket for hiking, backpacking, and skiing. It fits great, looks good, allows freedom of movement and is great for around town. It works adequately for moutaineering but the nylon is a bit thin. I have punched many holes in it. The thin nylon also gets caught in the zipper. The large pockets are great for water bottles and large gloves. The pit zips are sometimes difficult to open. I'm upgrading to the Kichatna jacket.
