The North Face Prophecy Jacket

Excellent lightweight protection, I got mine in a sale at Blacks in Canterbury and tend to use it more than my heavier waterproofs. Although made fromPpaclite it is much more robust than it looks. The hood is excellent and moves well with head movement and for me is just about perfect. In addition I would like to say that I can get a down jacket on underneath without problem. This is probably the most versatile item I have bought in the year that I have owned it.

Read about this jacket initially in Trail Runner's Magazine and realized that jacket came in 2XL sizing, which was great for me! Purchase the jacket to not only use it for running, but also had a chance to take it along on a trip to Olympic National Park. The jacket is great, very lightweight, breathable (better than some other brands), packable, and has lots of pockets. Great jacket for all outdoor pursuits.
