Outdoor Clothing Reviews

The Coreloft Insulation is something I had never heard of, but I don’t think it’s proprietary to north face. There was a hang tag listing what it’s comprised of, but I don’t know who is making it? It’s essentially a combination of Primaloft (short staple fibers) and north face pants or Climashield (Continuous Filaments) thus giving it both the softness of down (Primaloft) but giving it the added durability that plagues Primaloft (Polarguard). The jacket also had stretch panels and had an excellent fit including articulated, curved sleeves. For an ultra-light synthetic piece, I haven’t seen it’s equal (the closest being north face jackets).”
The only remaining thing I have left to say is; The non-hooded version north face shirts are a bit closer fitting than the hooded version. The chest is about the same but the jacket tapers a bit down towards the bottom, unlike the Hoody which is a more casual cut towards the bottom.
