Once I had to separate myself after almost 7 years of my North Face jacket, I ordered now this good piece! When you first try but I was skeptical. The jacket looked so fucking thin. The first acid test, however, showed their skills! I travel a lot and very often outside (whatever the weather). After 2 hours in the snow, I was really cold ... on the fingers, on the face, on the legs, but not under the jacket !!!! The only slight negative dots might be that the bags into which one puts his hands, not a warm, soft fleece have inside! Everything else is really great! One should however remember in which case you simply put his keys, because there are so many pockets on this great jacket!
