The North Face Men's Stormy Trail Jacket

Finally Found what I was looking for
April 12, 2012

I think this is a perfect "outer shell" jacket for all conditions. It allows room for a base and, if climate requires, middle layer, but itself does not add bulk. Great in dry weather as well as rain and wind. I had tried and/or own several jackets prior to this one, and I finally found what I hope to use for a long time (main purpose running/trail running). High-tech fabrics construction impressive, and a bigger-than-typical breast pocket for ipod + cellphone.

Paper Thin Trail Jacket

It's paper like feel, with a simi-soft waterproof shell that is more of an outer shell than anything else. It fits well I'm a 6' 2" slender build and the length of the medium jacket could be an inch or two longer. However it seems to fit well. the fact that it's hyvent alpha, sealed seams, and is a product by the north face I don't think the rain will ever get through unless you take the jacket off. Overall I would say it's comparable to the TNF Amp Hybrid jacket that they put out a few years ago. I just don't like the fact that you have to clip off the hood at the center before you use it as a regular jacket. The TNF could have use some type of velcro to mount the center of the hood together with the back of the jacket collar.

Awesome Jacket

Great running jacket, waterproof and blocks wind. This is the only jacket you need for fall and winter. The jacket is light, breathable and keeps the wind and water out!
