User Review: The North Face Prism Optimus Jacket

The North Face Prism Optimus Jacket
Above: The current Prism Optimus Jacket, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Fill: 700
Price Paid: $168

I have to say this is a very good down jacket with only one drawback. The hood. It is not very well insulated and in short is too thin. Also when you face the wind it tends to get blown back not completely off your head but 15% off your head. You can wear a climbing helmet under the hood very comfortably. The jacket is very warm, nice and light, rain resistant, and has a great cut thus feeling very nice to wear. If it only had a better hood, dame it.
