Description of The North Face Scythe Fleece Jacket - Men's:
Thanks to Polartec Thermal Pro fleece, The North Face Men's Scythe Jacket protects you from icy winter chills, whether you wear it alone or under a shell. The Scythe’s performance fit and high warmth-to-weight ratio make it ideal for backcountry ski tours or mountaineering trips where weight counts. Side stretch panels allow for a wide range of motion, and three front pockets hold all your essentials. Wear the Scythe Jacket alone on dry winter days, and pull a shell over it when snow storms roll in.
Bottom Line: Cut down the cold with the Scythe.

Good looking, but kind of off piece of gear 10-28-09
it looks great, nice colour and fit cut, now ... its a bit too warm for a semi cool day, but on a cool day the wind blows thru it, so it doesnt really serve another purpose but to be used as a layering piece, its not really packable as it takes about the same space as a Millet belay jacket.

Great looking, great fitting fleece for Insulation/layering purposes 08-31-09
It looks really good in person, with a good athletic fit. Not designed to be worn without a shell of some wind blocking ability in my opinion, but neither is the Denali which everyone wears anyway. This provides excellent warmth indoors, and it provides the best insulation you could ask for when paired with a shell (heaviest weight grade Polartec Thermal Pro). I purchased this jacket to layer with one of TNF flight series shells for the fall, and the Sentinel Windstopper for insulation during cold rainy days.
This is a decent jacket, but not exactly technical. Very stylish, fits great and looks good too. Works well to keep you warm if you wear it under a waterproof/windproof shell. Will not keep you warm without a shell as the wind blows right through it. Best use for fall hikes in comfortable temps with no wind.
