![]() the inside of the jacket has felt a little damp after these hikes, again, same as any waterproof/breathable or highly wind-resistant hard shell. it certainly didn't feel like wearing a plastic bag, but my baselayers became somewhat damp - the same as they would wearing an eVent or gore tex hard shell or nylon windshirt. most of the times I have used the jacket, i was hiking or moving pretty quickly and working up a sweat. i can't speak to heavier rainfall, but i'm not sure this would be my choice for very rainy days.īreathability has been hard to determine. I walked through steady snowshowers and light drizzle already and was fine, no penetration. my hard shells definitely stop the wind better than this, however. i could feel the wind on a series of cold day hikes, somewhat more than a hard shell, but it effectively stopped meaningful wind chill in 30 mph winds. the fabric definitely has more stretch or 'give' than a hard shell, which makes it a little more comfortable to wear in some situations, and more than most wind-blocking fleece I have worn. The fit is consistent with other North Face jackets I have worn or tried on i'm a 46 regular in suit coats and size XL fits me well - the sleeves are a little long, and the fit is sufficiently roomy to layer a fleece or a sweater, plus a baselayer, underneath. the hem has a shock cord that tightens by pulling the cord from inside each of the side pockets. the cuffs aren't elastic but close with a velcro tab. it has two large zippered pockets that open along each side seam, for your hands, and one good-sized zippered pocket at the left chest. that went away after wearing it about a week. initially, the zipper was fussy about 1/8 of the way up, right at the bottom of the hand pockets. the workmanship looks good - no loose stitches or frayed edges anywhere. The jacket is new, so it's too early to comment on long term durability. as a hard shell lover, i was prepared to be disappointed in how this would perform.
