ちょっぱー 2 I’am a true believer in North Face products. For over 5 years I worked for Sierra Outfitters in Sacramento, CA and NF was our best selling from tents, sleeping bags to down jackets. I worked with Sy, Eric and Patty,: This jacket I bought has two purposesone to fight wind and second rain (no this is not Gortex). I bought one size larger, so I could wear a heavy sweater or down vestunder this jacket. I live here in Tokyo now and great light weight jacket for this city.
