Description of The North Face Halo Detachable Snow Suit - Men's:
Wearing The North Face Men’s Halo Detachable Snow Suit won’t turn you into an alien-killing cyborg, but rocking this waterproof, breathable, convertible one-piece will keep warm and dry while you slay pow lines. This tricked-out one-piece features a zip-integrator for separating the jacket and pants and the Big Boy fit ensures you won’t look like a douche in a tight one-y. Full seam sealing, stretch gaiters and a tuckable balaclava help you weather any storm, while an insane amount of pockets provide ample storage for all the essentials.
Bottom Line: Ditch the video games, put on the real Halo suit and go kill it.
Ideal for jumping off roofs, getting in snowball fights, and sledding. Its awesome to slip into this thing and remember how warm and dry a one-piece suit keep you while you're riding. So nice on pow days. And I detach the jacket to rock by itself too.
Only thing missing is a drawstring or something to tighten the pants when you take the jacket off in the lodge. It's hot in the lodge and I don't want to wear the jacket while I eat but the pants fall down without the jacket.
I own a Northface Steep Tech snow suit I bought back in 1994. It's held up over the last 15 years, but wear and tear started to prompt me to look for a new one. What I can't figure out is why Northface just didn't continue with that model.
Soooo, there's lots of features I like; like a lot of pockets. But, there's still this annoying feature of trying to get the pants and top to fit. If I get a snowsuit that fits the upper body, the crotch of the legs hangs about eight inches below, well, mine. If I get the pants to fit; that is to have the suit's crotch and mine match better, the top is too small.
There's also a potential leak where the zipper that attaches the pants to the top and the zipper for the front of the jacket.
I know, by skiing, I'm so uncool to appreciate the loose snowboarder features of said suit.
