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 5 of 5 stars
Fabric: nylon
Fill: 700 down
Price Paid: $162

This is an awesome jacket. I got a good deal at $162, but it is well worth the $250-300 it normally goes for.

I have packed this jacket many times into its stuff sack as a backup in cold weather and it still lofts as much as when it was new. This is a very lightweight jacket.

Nearly waterproof even in the rain. I like the cuffs, they are just a thin elastic that works well with the drawstring shell-type mitts.
