Plan to replace in 2 years or so
Purchased this jacket 2.5 years ago. I have worn it in the backcountry about 100 days and around town when walking the dogs, etc. It provides excellent wind protection. I live in Houston and when it rains here the drops are big and frequent. This jacket is a bit clammy but that is to be expected and is just something you get used to in humid SE Texas. I am 5'8", 160 pounds. I have a medium. I wear this jacket with a fleece underneath. I also wear the REI Revelcloud puffy underneath.

Denitely a good buy!
Being a big fan of North Face products, I was looking for a good affordable rain jacket. This jacket was just what I was looking for. A stylish jacket which serves it's purpose!.

The only con, albeit a small one is, I found it difficult to get a good view behind me, looking back with the hood on top.

So far, so good.
I like this jacket very much since the fit is just about right for me, however I would recommend trying it on in person since there are limited adjustment options available (although the hood and cuffs can be adjusted somewhat).

It does have extra features, including pit zips, which is nice, and a velcro flap that co

a nice jacket, nothing fancy
This is a very nice jacket, nothing super technical about it, but dependable and easily stuffed into a bag for emergencies. Best for when it is rainy and a bit on the chilly side, because it does feel somewhat sticky on a hot and humid day.A good price for a 2.5 jacket, and would recommend if you don't want to spend double the price for a more breathable solution.

Excellent rain Jacket
This jacket protected me in a down pour. I stayed dry the whole time. I use this mainly when back packing or going out on the town. Its not heavy jacket so I can wear it in warmer months when camping or during winter I just put on a fleece jacket under it. I have a heavier jacket for snow/winter but I wear this one more often. Plus it packs down small too!
