I was in Atlanta, GA last weekend for a Guster concert. I had a little time to kill, so a friend and I decided to go by TNF store. I was expecting to have to find an REI but to my surprise there was an actual TNF location in north Atlanta.
I wasn't going to spend this much money on a new jacket, but after I tried it on, I knew I was going to buy it. Luckily I paid $223 before tax instead of $300 since it was on sale! It literally feels like I have sleeping bags for each of my arms. It's so light and breathes so well. I haven't taken this jacket off in the last 3 hours and I'm sitting at work without sweating (it's usually cold in the office).
They are sold out online but I would HIGHLY recommend this jacket to anyone who is looking for a new awesome, light, VERY WARM, breathable jacket.
This hood fits perfectly, no need to tighten any drawstrings, it actually sits on the head well. The zipper is a little tricky at first, but I think it might be the newness of it. Some people complained about it online but I think they are whining a bit too much, I'm not having that much trouble with it - it just requires a little bit of attention to get it to shut.
Jacket weight is 900 grams (around 2 lbs for non-metric folk) with 100 of those grams being PrimaLoft One artificial insulation. This jacket is extremely lightweight and worn. It also has pit-zips to release heat from your body when you're getting hot inside of the jacket or when worn indoors.
I actually want winter to last longer so I can have an excuse to wear this jacket more!
