From Ramsey Outdoor:
"The cold-weather athlete's classic favorite, a supreme layering, insulating peice ed for a wide range of activities."

From RockCreek:
"The Redpoint Optimus Jacket by The North Face is by far one of their most successful jackets they make for the cold weather athlete. A classic design, made with Primaloft One, an ultrafine, lightweight, and water repellent insulation. Primaloft is excellent in cold, precipitous environments because it keeps your core warm and your body safe from cold, but it also stays 24% warmer when wet than other insulations. The Redpoint Optimus is just as good as a down coat, but has the synthetic advantages to wet weather. If you are going to be in snow, high altitude rains or any sort of humid conditions, this is the jacket you will want to take with you."

"Primaloft works great, DWR coating repels water and snow pretty well. very lightweight, dries fast, surprisingly warm as mentioned in other review. a little pricey for what your getting but most North Face stuff is, but it's got a great warranty. the insulated hood is helmet compatible."

"Don't listen to that other review. He's talking about the old. I just purchased the 2007, and I am very impressed.

The jacket is extremely lightweight and somewhat thin, yet will insulate far beyond expectations. Last night I went for a walk in about -5 F temps and I was perfectly warm."

"The 2003 ($99) model of the Redpoint Optimus Jacket is a very good jacket with its included features. Removable sleeves, sleeve pocket, hood cinch, and perm-aloft insulation. The 2005 version of the same jacket is ($199) and has less features than the 2003 model."
