Love it 09-16-04

Techweenie Todd (60): rating

This is such a great insulation layer. I have fleeces galore but the smooth fabric and warmth of this coat really make it a better choice for extreme cold. It's cleverly designed with layering in mind, as evidenced by the snap-loops on the cuffs that make it an ideal replacement for the lame-o liner that came in my motorcycle jacket. There's really nothing else which is both this thin and this warm. I can't say enough good about it.

North Face Redpoint 12-30-04

Jason Paul (3): rating

This jacket lived up to everything it said it would. I stayed warm at ~0 F in Colorado with the addition of only a thermal and sweater as underlayers. The jacket was quite breathable and packable but the zippers can get stuck if you are not careful, especially with cold hands. Also, I found it to be waterproof even after testing it under a water faucet.

rain/wind/cold,no problem 12-23-04

tonyb...rugger (6): rating

I live in ga. just got this in time for 4 days of rain, 25 degree temps, and wind chills of 15 degrees. Got this on your rec. glad I did. This thing handles it all. I only wore a light short sleeve rugby jersey, was outside for 30-40 minutes at time and was dry and toasty every time. I keep getting rubber neckers checking this jacket out in town too. Zipped into my shell a lot smoother than the salathe I have, and getting in and out of them together is way easier. Can't wait to need to use them together (rate 12 if they make it w/ a hood, and it zips into my summit series shell. This is going to Co. w/ me every year. thanks for a great pick-up . X- mas week is going to be low 40's and mid 20's. I can't wait. Thanks for these reviews,it helps to get some feedback on products b-4 I buy online.

Redpoint jacket by The North Face 08-06-06

Iain Williams (Australia) (1): rating

A jacket that is functional and stylish. I opted for the ash grey color which quite a neutral color. Napoleon pocket is a good idea, however, if your jacket is a firm fit across the chest anything in the pocket will increase the firmness. Side pockets are deep enough to warm your hands or carry quite large items) gloves, cell phone, wallet, GPS). Two waist tightener cords allow you to easily and effortlessly snatch in the jacket at the waist for a firmer fit. Length is adequate, however, if you have a very tall torso you may find the Redpoint too short at the waist. I’ve had no problems with the zipper mechanism on the pockets or front of the jacket. The arm length is quite good as is the available room beneath the arm for movement. The collar area is a little snug when the zipper is zipped to the top of its run. This maybe a problem for some who like to have their collars completely closed (personally I hate closed collars). The larger jacket had a more room in this area. I purchased the small and medium Repoint then selected the best fit. I found I was an in-between fit – as such the medium was bulky but with lots of room beneath the jacket while the small was a slightly firm fit. I decided on the small as it appeared to be warmer and the air didn’t push out of the jacket when my arms were folded. The arms were also a little shorter; the medium arms were a little too long. Check your size carefully and determine what you want to wear beneath the jacket as this will depict the size required. I find the size small a little constructive under the arms when wearing 4 layers (thermal, shirt, jumper and vest) for maximum protection, but perfect when wearing only 2-3 layers Having a jacket too large for your body type is not recommended as you will loose warmth quickly. The Redpoint is quite warm without being over warm. Ideally this jacket should be worn as an insulator jacket with a thermal, jumper, or vest for maximum warmth. I have found the water resistance excellent. I placed my arm under the shower for 5 minutes and the jacket maintained its bead and didn’t leak. Light/medium rain and snow is not a problem. The material used in the Redpoint is PrimaLoft. The main benefit of PrimaLoft verses down is that it is thinner than down and offers similar thermal characteristics. (down is a tad warmer). Other benefits is that PrimaLoft dries much more quickly than down and maintains its warmth in the wet. Down jackets can be very bulky in appearance. PrimaLoft jackets are not bulky. Abrasion resistance appears to be quite good, although the jacket is till new The Redpoint packs very small and is very light; packing the jacket into a backpack for travel should not cause any concern. There are many jackets similar to the Redpoint. Personally, I think they are all very similar to each other in terms of functionality. A point to remember is that insulator jackets should be worn with layering to achieve maximum warmth. If you think this jacket will keep you warm only wearing a T-shirt in sub zero temperatures you will be disappointed. Search for another type of jacket if you only want to wear a T-shirt!! I gave the jacket 4 out of 5. Why? The sizing was problematic without in-between sizes and the overall warmth of the jacket was not as good as I was anticipating.

Premium Versatility 03-31-05

CDogg (4): rating

Marvelously fits the greatest number of conditions you can experience. Windproof so you can wear it as an outer layer, thin and non-bulky so you can wear it underneath easily. Easily packable, lightweight, comfortable and good-looking. Smooth face helps with layering underneath or over. Warm enough to wear alone in the mid-20's yet won't overheat you when it's windy and 55F. If only one jacket will fit in your suitcase or pack, any season of the year, this should be the one. Look for the vest version too.

NF Redpoint 02-24-08

Anonymous: rating

Layered this jacket with Varius Guide jacket while skiing in Colorado in snow and low 20's, it was great. Next day the weather cleared and warmed to 30's, wore only the Redpoint over base layers, it was comfortable. Very good garment. Hope NR doesn't discontinue. Easier to pack and wear than fleece.

Solid, versatile piece of gear 02-02-08

tsaylor45 (20): rating

This jacket is very well designed. The two pockets could be higher up for when I have a pack on, but other than that it's fine. I am 6'0"/165 lbs, and usually wear a TNF Medium, and the Medium Redpoint fits like all other TNF I have tried. I works as it's own jacket, with a thin layer underneath when I'm heading to class, or a fleece underneath when it gets colder. You can zip it into a shell if you're going to be out in some serious weather, though the water- and wind- resistance of this jacket is more than I expected. Warmer than a fleece, thinner than a fleece, slides under a layer better than a fleece, doesn't pill or attract lint like fleece...overall, better than fleece. I use it as a replacement for fleece a lot of times, so I don't have to throw a shell over my Patagonia R4. Between this and the R4, I'd say the R4 is a little warmer (maybe, it's close) and blocks wind a little better than this one, but the one will resist light rain and snow more so than my R4. I'd say, for the price, you can't go wrong with this jacket.

I Love My Redpoint 01-03-07

JonnyBoyDC (1): rating

This is the perfect fall/winter jacket, for temperatures ranging from 20-50 degrees, because it literally seems to adapt to the surrounding conditions. It is surprisingly light and flexible (and fashionable) for the degree of warmth it provides. (It is warmer than heavy wool jackets I own.) But what really impresses me is that the jacket seems to adapt to the weather. It can be comfortably worn in 50 degree weather (unzipped), and is equally comfortable on a cold winter morning (zipped). The weight to warmth ratio is fantastic. This is the perfect jacket in my opinion. Highly recommended.

3 -4 -1, what a deal 01-28-05

tonyb...rugger (6): rating

I got the Red Point for a single warm layer at first. TOASTY! I didn't realize at the time that it also has great wind blocking properties and is very light weight...BONUS ! But the real jewel of this performance jacket is when I zip it into my shell, it doesn’t bunch like regular fleece. This is the best combination of warmth and comfort with the lowest bulk yet. Thanks for the live QandA, I'm glad I followed your advice.

Love-Hate relationship, but still damn good! 01-23-03

uintahbc (17): rating

I LOVE this jacket, but HATE the zipper on the Napoleon pocket. It’s warm and has pretty much been my stock jacket for winter, but the zipper on the chest pocket catches the fabric 40% of the time I zip & unzip it, and is so annoying it makes me want to throttle the dude at TNF who designed it. argh! It’s relatively easy to get it unstuck, but it’s still aggravating that an otherwise awesome jacket has this zipper problem. Not sure if it’s just my jacket or what.

Great Jacket 07-29-08

jtrue821011153 (8): rating

I use this jacket mostly for ski touring in the Wasatch mountains of Utah. Very compressible with a great look. Wear it out at night as well.
