Description of The North Face Varius Guide Insulated Jacket - Men's:
The North Face Men's Varius Guide Insulated Jacket prepares you for a full day in the winter backcountry. Two-way underarm zips vent excess body heat as you skin up the trail, and waterproof breathable HyVent shell fabric and fully-taped seams keep you dry as you reach the blistery summit and turn it downhill. The North Face added Heatseeker synthetic insulation for low-mercury days and a powder skirt to keep snow from sneaking in. The brushed collar lining comforts your face and an adjustable, removable hood provides extra warmth and weather protection on stormy rides.
Bottom Line: Protect yourself from Varius winter conditions.
I wanted a light weight but warm jacket for Chicago winters and the North Face Varius Insulated Jacket is perfect. I also had a great experience with Backcountry and will definitely purchase from them again.
I ordered the Various Insulated jacket, and as usual it arrived in a timely manor. When I received it I was disappointed in the weight of the jacket. How could anything this light keep me warm. I did an online chat with a "Gear Expert" and had my problem resolved. They sent me another one to compare it with. I returned the other one. Say what you will, Backcountry customer service is second to none. Oh, I like the jacket too.
