Extreme functionality,warmth and protection. I love TNF mtn. light jacket. Recently hit the slopes for some last minute action and was not disappointed. The gore-tex was unbelievable through the wind and wet snow I experienced.W as warm and dry , w/o a heavy layer into the low 20s,and with a fleece as a mid-layer into the single digits. Drawstringed hood and hem give super tight and comfy fit. Everything I expected it to be. The added bonus was Altrecs price of 25% off list.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No

Great Jacket! Have not had a chance to truly field test, but did wear for a week of rain and drizzle in North Dakota during the Spring. The jacket is extremely comfortable, light and is well ventilated. Looking forward to testing it under more stressful extremes.
