I also have North face tri climate in plenty of other north face and Patagonia gear and have never had any issues. what I should’ve said. Is these feel like kind of cheap plastic zippers. But as I’m walking the dog in white out snowstorm right now, wearing this jacket and the pants, I’ve had zero issues, so even though my initial impressions were that I thought they could’ve been better quality, they’re holding up just fine
I had it on medium last night with it being about 20F out and I got to hit and hat to turn it off. It’s only 12 out there now. I might actually put it on high when info out in a few minutes.
Great Video looked for a review and found your video. So now you have a subscriber and of course I hit the like button. Gonna start watching past videos of reviews this is the first video of yours just got my jacket by the way. Just watched your DEWBU Pants review and I just ordered the pants too. Thanks again for your review love your thorough reviews you got a new subscriber because of that. Cheers 🍻
@@jeffgrantMEDIA wore it for the first time on a 50 minute stroll with the fam and had it on medium switching to high a few times and only used 20% of battery, so yeah I agree on the battery life!
@@TreasureHunter5000 that’s interesting. YT does some weird things ha from time to time. The other day they were deleting comments. So today they are adding comment notifications to 8 month old comments! Haha oh well…. They keep me on my feet.
And on the battery weighing down the left side my first thought was throw my phone in the right pocket but if I did that it would over heat my phone. I think Apple needs to make a jacket. The whole thing would warm and you could warm it by every degree like your cars climate control.
Oh, and I don’t think your phone would overheat if you kept it in the right pocket. The heating element is a little bit above where the bottom of the pocket lays so your phone will probably be fine. I toss mine in my pocket all the time and I haven’t had any issues with it.
@@_Otaku-kt8be as someone has used Apple products for over 20 years, back before they started using the same processors as windows machines, they were actually the superior machine. trying to do anything graphic, heavy, or editing, and when a sin would just crash constantly. Where an apple machine would actually stay running the entire day and not have to be rebooted every 35 seconds. Now it is more of force of habit than a necessity. but having a jacket that would integrate to any phone would be a pretty big positive here. Since this jacket is not zone, controllable, if I could integrate it with my phone, I would be able to do that. And generally most apps work for both iOS and android.
I play guitar. I made that suitcase tom for playing open mic nights. Only used it a few times though. It was more of a fun project to do. I think I filmed the build up of it when inside to vlog.
@@Noidhole88 this jacket does not have a lower back pocket. Are you referring to the zipper pocket for the. Artery pack? That is in the bottom front left of the jacket. It is where the power chord comes out and you plug in the battery pack to power the jacket.
@ I’ve got another jacket with a back pocket. But that’s a shell with like 14 pockets for travel. I never use it though. Anything in there gets in the way. It might be a good spot for something small like a battery pack. That is small enough you fit in the small of the back and then it would not pull the jacket to one side.
@@jeffgrantMEDIA yeah maybe but my battery plug is in the same spot as yours. Right now I just put my micro fleece hat in there in case my bald head gets cold.
@@LubricatedMelon Other jackets have the option to turn the light off. If you need to know what mode you are on, turn it on, look at it, turn it back off. It is incredibly annoying to have it blinding you in the dark. One of the few things I like about the iHood is the independent zones and the ability to turn the light off.

well articulated, thorough review. answered all my questions.
I’m glad it could help you out, and thank you for watching!
I have a couple The North Face jackets with plastic zippers... never had an issue.
I also have North face tri climate in plenty of other north face and Patagonia gear and have never had any issues. what I should’ve said. Is these feel like kind of cheap plastic zippers.

Awesome review. Very informative and covered everything I needed to know. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
I bought this and even on high, i can barely feel the heat high). I cannot Image low or med.
I was wearing it on hottest setting in -5c- to -13c
I had it on medium last night with it being about 20F out and I got to hit and hat to turn it off. It’s only 12 out there now. I might actually put it on high when info out in a few minutes.

I’m happy you found some value in my content! Much appreciated, heading that red button and clicking that light button!
My jacket came with American flag and Dewbu eagle velcro patches that could be removed.
I did get a small DEWBU patch that was on the bottom right of the jacket. About 1/2” x 1”. But Monday of or eagle patch.

For some reason this comment from 8 months ago is popping up as haven’t responded. Is there some hidden comment to am not seeing?
@@jeffgrantMEDIA No, that is strange! I actually forgot about this comment, lol.

Then it would be a $2000 $150 jacket! But it would integrate with my phone, watch and laptop!

Hey man, what do you use that weird lower back pocket for?

@@jeffgrantMEDIAoh weird. Mine has 2 zippers on the lower back. It's fleece lined and pass through. Very odd placement.

I hate that these heated jackets feel the need to light up the button. I don't need to glow at night
Agreed! The little bit of tape is a life saver.
Pretty sure without it you wouldn’t know what mode you’re on

@@jeffgrantMEDIA yeah that makes sense
