I'm moving to Germany and can't wait to really get full use out of it!

Great coat, [...], best price. What more coulld you ask for?

By moto from Newark, NJ on 3/5/2008

I use it as an every day jacket and i like the versatility of the removable core.

By spd from Burlington, VT on 3/5/2008

Nice jacket, but as far as a winter coat here in VT, it's a joke. I unzipped their inner jacket which has like no insulation and zipped in a Mtn Hardwear down vest. That provides enough insulation. Too bad North Face badly skimped on the insulation that came with this jacket.

He loves it - warm and fits well. Good value.

Size does not run true

By JC from Hartford, CT on 2/28/2008

Great coat to own. Keeps you warm in cold climates.

By Dave the "skier" from Little Rock, AR on 2/28/2008

I used the jacket immediately after I bought it during a ski weekend and it was awesome! I never had an issue with being too cold. The only thing I can say is that there aren't any inside pockets when using the inner-fleece layer, however the shell itself has some... a minor inconvenience but definitely still worth the buy!

its a great all around jacket, goes great with my fleece

By David of the flatland from Overland Park, KS on 2/27/2008

coat is well made, typical north face. slightly smaller than what I expected, possibly due to liner, which is quite warm. no pit-zips in the liner, so not sure how well it will vent heat. haven't had a chance to test that yet.

This is good.
but,dust stick on my coat.

By Rich from Manhattan on 2/26/2008

I use it for my day to day winter jacket in Manhattan. Even sometimes over a suit. The inner jacket is soft, warm and comfortable. Also a little bit "pretty" - the fabric. It is a nice change from the fleece inner layer that I had been using. Dries quickly. The outer layer is still a little bit stiff, but this also means that it seems durable. It is OK for the commute, and knocking about town. It is also good for skiing and outdoor play, but I find I have to keep moving in order to stay warm. I do not stay warm if I am standing around outside, on a cold day.

North Face as a brand has totally taken over Manhattan. I would say that as many as 1 in 3 people on the subway are wearing the brand any time I get on. It crosses demographics, and there may even be a sort of inner city cachet to the brand now that goes beyond North Face just being good outerwear.

The conspicuousness of the logo is a negative for me; I would much rather not be part of a "movement." I noticed that the high end models of North Face now only have the logo on the inside, so it's clear that the designers at North Face have clued in to this.

Another nit, is that downward zipping of the pockets, the easier motion, opens them. In the city, the thing you want to do most easily is close your pockets (e.g., to deter pickpockets).

By Scott from Ephrata, PA on 2/3/2008

Really nice jacket - I would buy this product again! Highly recommended!

By bert from Chicago on 1/22/2008

Love everything about it. Liner actually zips-in which is a fault in many other NF jackets.

By Justin from Brooklyn, NY on 1/17/2008

The jacket is stiff the area near the mouth is nice and warm but gives little neck mobility. Though I have not washed it yet, so maybe some fabric softner would loosen that up. Other than that it is a warm versatile jacket all around.

I needed something that was good for windy conditions and extreme winter cold when I use public transportation to commute. after trying patagonia, this turned out to be a good choice. i did not want a zip-in triclimate system, and did not want a down jacket, so this turned out to be the best choice. i am a bit disappointed that the collar seems to stand attention - but maybe that's the newness of the coat. overall - 4 stars in quality

By Chris the Coach from Marietta, OH on 1/14/2008

Jacket is very warm but is a much lighter weight than the Columbia brand alternative that I've had. I am very satisfied.

By Hockeyman from Western Massachusetts on 1/7/2008

Very impressed with construction and materials quality that make this "big" winter coat very warm but yet lightweight altogether

By George the beat cop from New York, NY on 1/5/2008

Nice jacket. Many layers. Many pockets. Durable and waterproof.

By Commuter from Washington, DC on 1/3/2008

I spend a lot of time commuting and standing out in the cold and rain and this jacket keeps me warm and dry.

By Matt from CT on 1/2/2008

When I first received this coat I was somewhat disappointed. I expected the material to be a bit more comfortable. Both shells of the coat were very bulky which made it uncomfortable. I will say that the coat was extremely warm. I ended up returning this coat at a local EMS for the Nuptse.

By Aaron the New Englander from Boston on 1/2/2008

Great grab and go coat. Has all the extra layers one needs built right in it, with the option to take them off if weather merits.

By Chris from [@] on 1/2/2008

Great look, fit, and quality.

Cool and comfortable while remaining
warm and dry.

By Happy customer from So Cal on 1/2/2008

Got the jacket and immediately put it to test. Went back to the Midwest and wore it it severe cold and a couple of snowstorms. Kept me dry and warm and it was not too constricting. Went beyond my expectations.

By Moose from Grand Forks, ND on 1/2/2008

best jacket ive had yet

By Mike from Chicago, IL on 1/2/2008

I got a great deal on it. It's a little narrow in the shoulders, and I keep wishing there were an inside chest pocket. It weighs more than I expected, but it's warm and very well made. Much better made than any Columbia jacket I tried on.

By Greg from Omaha, NE on 1/2/2008

Fits and looks good.......we'll see how it holds up.

By Good Mickey from Hoboken, NJ on 1/2/2008

I have had the jacket for three weeks now and the zipper on the outer shell sticks...sometimes I cannpot get it to zip up and other times I struggle to get it off...besised that this jacket rocks!

By laura from mississippi on 1/2/2008

going skiing

By Braylon Edwards from Cleveland, OH on 1/2/2008

I bought this jacket for myself for Christmas. It's very warm, yet lightweight, and fits like a glove. While it's not gortex, I've been pleasantly surprised with the jacket's waterproof finish as it does a very nice job repelling the elements in rain/snow weather. I have the basin blue color and love it.

This is a great coat by northface. It doesn't feel heavy and is warm. Great protection against water with it staying on the top of the coat and easily shaken off when getting indoors. The napolean pockets are also useful for carrying small things. It feels warm but the weather hasn't been cold enough for me to really test it out in that respect.

I have finally had a chance to put this jacket to the test this weekend. It passed with flying colors!
It has just enough features and pockets with out going into the realm of what the hell is this pocket for?
Great piece, I would highly recommend it to anyone who asks.

By Casualwearer/skiier from Michigan on 2/8/2007

Jacket is great, is very warm and comfortable.

By adam from massatusetts on 1/19/2007

I havent owned it long enough to give it a full report

By John from Birmingham, Alabama on 1/17/2007

Triclimate is a perfect name for this jacket! Versatility in a variety of climate conditions makes this jacket stand out. Just be sure you purchase the Triclimate jacket for your needs as there are a variety to choose from and it is a little difficult to judge which of these are just right for your climate. The Amlitude is perfect for those chilly southern morning winters that turn a bit mild by the afternoon.

By wrestler149 from Bismarck, ND on 1/5/2007

It's a great jaket, very warm and comfortable

By Michael's mom from Rhode Island on 1/3/2007

My son loves the jacket. Keeps him warm and dry.

By Mom from Boston, MA on 1/2/2007

My son just loves this jacket. Has worn it everyday since Christmas.

By Sean from Princeton, NJ on 1/2/2007

We like all the features that this jacket offers.

By Ed from Central Jersey on 1/2/2007

Very happy with this jacket !

By Martin the Outdoorsy Guy from Seattle, WA on 1/2/2007

Overall, a great value [...]. The two chest pockets are great for stowing a variety of items, and the length is good (I'm 6'5"). However, I live in Seattle, and just took my dog for a walk in the driving rain. The jacket hood and shoulders shed water well, but the back and chest of the coat quickly became wet (i.e. they *didn't* shed water well). The jacket has not seen its first washing, so I would have expected more water shedding ability. Also, I'm not a huge guy, and the jacket feels tight under the arms (i.e. I think the chest is not quite large enough).

a good buy. I think its best to try it on before buying.

By fhmjr from silver spring, maryland 20910 on 12/5/2006

this jacket is a great value! it lacks some of the classsic north face styling but it's hooded, and has a great zipped-in liner. the underarm vents are a real plus and i enjoy the north face quality a lot with this jacket.

By Ashton the Techie from Estes Park, CO on 11/27/2006

The versatility of this product is the main reason why I purchased this jacket. I like the fact that it has multiple pockets in a variety of locations. Plus it can be worn in three combinations: inner + outer, inner, & outer.

By Cayboy from Boston on 11/26/2006

I like the product; it is warm, lightweight, comfortable and stylish. I like the colors. The zip-out liner is warm and thin--because of it's thin shell and new non-fleece lining, the liner is warmer and really does work well as an additional stand-alone jacket. The shell of the jacket is comfortable and the combo of liner and shell provides warmth and protection without bulk. The jacket could be a bit longer.
