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 5 of 5 stars
Fabric: Gore Tex (XCR)
Price Paid: $199

I must say my experience with this jacket differs from many of the reviews I have read on this website. I have been quite impressed with the quality and performance of this jacket. In fact, I had both this jacket and the Arc'Teryx Theta LT (a very well respected piece of apparel) and I actually returned the Theta LT in favor of the Mountain Light (saving me $225!!). The Mountain Light met all my expectations and included hand warmer pockets and an internal zipper pocket which the Theta LT did not have (I did prefer the "pit zips" on the Theta LT, although for the price difference, I think I can live with "core vents"). Certainly, only time will tell if this jacket holds up, however at this point, I am quite pleased.
