nordic skier - 2009-05-21All over a great jacket for out door activities
A great jacket for skiing in harsh weather, really well made and stylish as well. It was too bulky on me so I had to return it, but I am tall and skinny so if you are you might have to try an other model that has a more trim fit.

The perfect jack for skiing. I just got back from Colorado and I have no complaints in regards to this jacket. It is completely waterproof and the jacket itself left plenty of room for layering underneath. Also, the velcro around the opening of the sleeves allowed for a tight seal, therefore neither cold nor snow could get inside! This jacket is a definite must have!

My husband bought me this jacket as a Christmas gift before we went to see his family in New England for New Year's. As a southern girl, I'm not used to the snow, ice and freezing cold, but combined with my Denali Fleece, this jacket kept me warm all weekend. No complaints of being cold the whole trip-- We'd definitely buy this jacket again!!!

KIM - 2008-08-24My favorite jacket!
This jacket is lovely color and nice price.
This jacket was exactly what I expected.
LISA SCHILLER - 2008-04-10Abosolutely Great!!
This is such a great jacket! Love the fact that I can zip in a fleece for winter!
Allison - 2008-03-14Love the shell!
It is so warm and cozy all by itself. It blocks the wind really great. I love the soft fabric on the interior of the collar - my previous jacket didn't have this so it was something I noticed right away. Pair it with my Pumori fleece and you have an extra cozy match made in heaven! Super snuggly and warm.
Amy Detweiler - 2008-03-14LOVE IT
This shell has it all. Zip-in feature for your favorite fleece, pit zips for a quick cool down and a wind skirt to keep the cold winter wind from sneaking up on you. TNF does it right!!
Marsha J-Schmid - 2008-01-01Excellent quality, true fit, love the dreamy seafoam color!
Wore the jacket skiing. It was quite comfortable, looked great, worked well with the wooly liner I had purchased previously (Denali Thermal-Summit Series). Love the color, very warm and cozy, feels like a blanket surrounding me. I am a loyal North Face fan!
Ted Smith - 2007-10-22AMAZING JACKET!
the jacket is amazing and comfortable and better than i had expected! and it's beautiful! i ordered a special color and it was shipped very quickly and i received it quicker than i had expected, which was awesome!
Holly - 2007-02-03AWESOME!!!
I was hesitant about buying something this expensive online without trying it on first..but I have to say that I absolutely love it!! Altrec made my experience easy and I would absolutely buy from them again!!! Thanks!!
Kacey - 2007-01-03would buy it all over again
I love this jacket b/c it allows me to zip-in the fleece I already owned, giving me an extra warm jacket. I am happy with its performance so far and have had several comments about the beautiful color (captiva pink). I know I made the perfect choice.
Anonymous - 2006-11-29Overall great jacket!
Love this jacket, certainly the quality you expect from North Face. Very warm with fleece zipped in and even without (but perhaps not for very cold weather). I ordered a medium but could have probably used a small.
Anonymous - 2006-03-09great all around jacket
I bought a jacket for my brother, then I decided that I needed one for myself. Definitely wind proof and water proof. However, you need a fleece underneath to keep the cold out. Looks fantastic for every day wear!
Jan - 2006-01-07Fabulous !
My daughter loves her jacket. It is a quality item and fits great. Ordering was easy and shipping was fast. I recommend this jacket and this site.
Camille Zito - 2005-12-04AWESOME JACKET
Jacket is great! North face is such a great winter jacket!
Anonymous - 2005-11-22Fabulous
I love this jacket. It keep you very warm from wind, rain and snow. It also allows you to stay warm but cool down. I love the many pockets located thru out the jacket. It is def. a keeper!
Anonymous - 2005-01-03Fabulous!
I have a denali North Face jacket and love how well these two pieces fit together. I wore them skiing and stayed very warm! All the pockets are strategically placed. My only complaint is that the main pockets in the front aren't that big (my ski gloves barely fit). All in all it's a great buy.
Anonymous - 2004-10-13great for all weather
this jacket is great for rain, wind, or snow. it keeps you warm when it's cold outside, yet, when the air heats up, the vents cool you down. i definitely recommend this jacket for any snowboarder. goes great with the north face salathe fleece jacket.
Anonymous - 2004-09-07great fit, even better price
This jacket was exactly what I expected. I found that the sizing was true to form. I can't wait for winter to roll around so I can put it to good use.
Lisa Auffrey - 2004-09-01Awesome item
The North Face products are of the best quality available. I buy a lot of NF items and this jacket lives up to its reputation. Apart from being stunning, it's comfortable, lightweight and fits a NF fleece perfectly. Some of the reviews said that this jacket runs small, but I don't find it does. I usually wear an XL in women's clothes, but I ordered a large for this jacket and it fits perfectly. A perfect jacket at an amazing price.
Anonymous - 2004-09-01LOVE THE JACKET!!
Great coat, GREAT price, fast delivery!!!
Anonymous - 2004-04-14great jacket
This is a cool jacket. I normally would have ordered a large but one of the previous reviews commented on the sizing so I ordered an XL which I'm glad I did as it fits a fleece under it nicely. I wore it skiing right after I got it and it was comfortable and easy to move in.
Anonymous - 2004-03-01Good multi purpose jacket.
Just used this jacket for a week skiing and found it to be completely water and windproof. Fit was very good although the large is definitely a good fit for a size 10 (with room underneath for layers). Lots of great pockets with room for everything.
Anonymous - 2004-02-20 Incredibly comfortable and stylish
The Varius Jacket surpassed my expectations. In addition to loving the color, it is light weight but warm enough for most days. With the zip in vest it is exceptionally versatile.
Deborah Muhammad - 2009-01-27Good coat against the wind, rain and snow
Very warm with the Denali lining and very functional for outdoor activities. Stiff at first but becomes more flexible with wear. My only complaint is the velcro which is an annoyance. Why North Face would use velcro instead of snaps on a $190 jacket diminishes the quality. Snaps are better because they don't catch and snag everything they touch, especially on the wrists.
Liz - 2008-02-05LOVE the JACKET!
The jacket is warm, able to have a fleece zip in, and I love the length. My only complaint is I couldn't find a plastic loop to attach a ski ticket. Also, the zipper can get stuck. Minor things to put up with for an all around great jacket!!
Anonymous - 2006-11-27Nice Jacket!
What a great price for this jacket. I received it in a timely manner. This is the first Hyvent material jacket that I've purchased and it seems heavy-duty. I wore it in the rain and it really wicks away moisture so I stayed really dry and warm. The fit wasn't the greatest as I was anticipating the jacket to be longer. It hits right at the lower back and doesn't cover all of my rear but overall it is a nice jacket.
Anonymous - 2006-09-26Well Worth the Money
This is a great jacket for layering. It creates a thick barrier from the wind and an attached hood is always a great idea. Be sure to order a size larger than normal to accomodate layers underneath.
Anonymous - 2004-04-02Great Jacket for the price
The North Face Varius Jacket is great for all weather and activities. It keeps you super warm with the zip in fleece and you don't get overheated. The bottom is a bit snug on the hips, but you have a double zipper for added adjustment.
Anonymous - 2003-10-22Freestyle fit without being bulky.
A nice free style fit without being bulky. Slightly heavy but good and warm for the ski hill. Good visibility with the hood on. The lined collar is nice on the chin when it is zipped all the way up.
