This jacket is extremely light (think piece of paper) but it is sturdy and definitely holds up to the rain. I have to say the hood does a come a little far forward which can o…

I do a lot of extreme things like take my 4 year old outside to jump in mud puddles. I run in the rain to pick her up from preschool. Sometimes I go biking in a light drizzle.…

I bought this jacket cause it claimed to be waterproof and it has a nice well made texture and fel to the jacket overall. I was caught in a torrential downpour in Boston a few…

My husband has been wearing this jacket over a not-so waterproof down jacket in wet snow/rain-snow conditions. That wasn't the reason it was purchased (was supposed to be fo…

This is a nice looking and comfortable jacket. It's fairly warm and perfect for autumn in the Midwest. My only complaint is that the arms are a little longer than your typical…

I've worn this jacket - and its prototype - since June and it has quickly become my go-to jacket. That's the jacket that I grab 80% of the time, and have to justify replacing…

This is the best waterproof jacket I've ever used. I had nearly given up on GORETEX and fully waterproof layers for 90% of my days in the mountains, but the Axiom really is mu…

Hey you! Do you climb in COLD weather? Or does your body temp just run cold? The Loadstar is the solution! I've used this jacket and pants on everything from single pitch ice…

My husband had been searching for a down jacket thin enough to fit under his Kepler, he tried several jackets, but they were either too puffy or too long. The Ghost Whisperer…

I special ordered the XL Tall and was super excited with it fit perfectly. That never happens for me (6'5'' guy that's gotten use to making due on gear fit). Only complain…

So I struggled with finding the perfect light weight shell for my three season romps in the woods. This shell came highly recommended by a number of customers as well as Outd…

This shell is amazing, light as a feather and very comfortable. I run outdoors most days and I find this shell to be an amazing piece of technology. It is windproof, super l…

All good: The light weight skin-like nylon is incredibly thin, and yet affords the wearer some security in knowing that if needed, this jacket will repel light rain, wind, and…

After having a few different down jackets over the years, this is by far the best one I’ve ever had! It feels like you are wearing nothing (because it is so lightweight) an…

Ok, this jacket is AMAZING! I took it camping/climbing/backpacking in 20 degree weather and I was super warm with just a little sweater underneath. It is breathable and light…

I had not bought a TNF technical jacket since 1993 until this one. I thought TNF sold out years ago and quit innovating. I have since owned Marmot, Mountain Hardwear, Arc…

The only reason I'm buying a second one is because I wanted a blue one and after heavy use for the past three years the zipper finally needed restitching and I sent it in to…

If you were disappointed in the Patagonia version of this jacket like I was, give this one a try. I found that it fits better, looks better on, and seems to be of a higher qu…

This jacket is awesome. I cannot wear it enough! It is very flattering on and stylish. It has gotten me lots of compliments from the gentlemen. It is warm, I have worn it in 6…

This jacket is superior to the Patagonia version in every way...fit, look, and quality. I did find the sizing just a little inconsistent though. I ordered two smalls and the…

This jacket is great. I love the way it feels. It keeps me super warm and is easy to layer-both under and over. I use it with an outer rain/wind shell and it is very wonderfu…

The hood ruins this jacket. First the tighteners are made of a stretchy cloth that take time to get right and then do not stay tight. I mean why not go for the spring tightene…

The Alpine Light Down Parka is the perfect balance between weight and warmth. The best way I can describe this jacket, is it is like wearing a cloud. This thing is seriously…
