From REI:
"The take-anywhere Valkyrie jacket from The North Face adapts to the demands of the user as well as to the demands of the climate. Polartec® Windbloc® is tightly woven for abrasion resistance and stretchy comfort; microfleece lining offers soft, warm comfort and manages moisture. Windbloc is windproof, water repellent and breathable, and it makes less noise than a hardshell. Brimmed drop hood cinches down for a close fit that provides unhindered peripheral vision. Softly lined collar shields neck from the cold, and the interior draft flap rolls over zipper to protect chin from abrasion. Features a drawcord hem and adjustable cuffs. Mesh-lined hand pockets are placed so they won't interfere with pack straps."

Reviewed by Neil, Aug 27, 2008

"I searched long and hard to find this jacket and eventually found it as a run-out from Backcountry for $70! Fortunately the size (m) and colour (tan/orange) was what I wanted so no second thoughts regarding purchasing.

I have had the jacket for about a year and have had 3 occasions to really test its water resistance."
