Yes the ham sandwich, my favourite metric to determine carrying capacity! 😂 Love this review focused on people who actually need to buy this jacket! Keep it up!!
Great timing! I was planning to check out the exact jacket you're wearing at the North Face store tomorrow. My only concern is to see if it is too shiny for my taste ...
Looks like an upgraded Patagonia down sweater.. How shiny is it in person? Wish we could get the comparisons while the sales are going on at REI and Backcountry.
Hey friend! It’s definitely a sheen to it. Typical Pertex. But the green is pretty subdued. I have the down comparison slated for next week. I was hoping to get it live in time for sales and Black Friday shopping.
Hey friend!! I am loving the current TNF gear they have sent to test. Rocking the boots today and tomorrow for the Beacon Bash! Got your handsome BF with us to get our beacon practice on. Wish you could have joined. But stoked on your gig!!
I have not encountered that. Yet.. It has only been a few months for me. But, I would anticipate a few feathers leaking out (Like all down jackets I have tested) The material they are using seems to be pretty durable and down "proof" for what it is worth.
@@NickTheKid266 unfortunately I have problem with down leaking :( Quality is really bad, you’ll look like a goose because down is everywhere but this jacket warm

Incredible timing! Let us know if you wind up going with it!
@@Engearment Just copped on Back Country for 20% off!
@@jackblack2370 Excellent!!! Nice score. Hope you love it!
Would you recommend this as a normal winter jacket, or is it more fore mountain climbing and professional stuff?
You can absolutely use this as a normal winter jacket. Great question

Wish they still made the hybrid one, it worked quite well even when snowshoeing flat ground
@@MarkPharaoh look into terra peak
@@guillaumed4145 ended up getting a Storm Whisperer this season. With the dual zip and pretty long pit zips I think it may work out
I’m 5ft9 170lb what size would you recommend?
Does the down leak from this jacket as some people say??

having read a number of reviews a load of users have commented on the down escaping and poking through - are you experiencing the same?
i had the breithorn hooded version , the fit was terrible , i returned it.
