Northface Varius Guide Jacket   09-11-04
redfreckles126 (1): rating
I love this jacket! I wore it in a monsoon-like rain storm the other day and remained completely dry. I got to work and people were mad that my hair was not drowned and messy as theirs was! The rain just rolled right off the jacket, so when I took it off everything around me stayed dry. I definitely recommend this jacket for wet weather safety...

Looks Nice, Not Warm   02-09-05
Jen1234 (1): rating
This is a very nice looking jacket, the colors are great and it has a flattering fit. This jacket runs a bit smaller than the rest of my North Face gear. However, don't buy this if you're looking for a winter coat. It's more of a rain coat or maybe a spring or fall jacket. There is almost no insulation. I have a North Face zip-up fleece that's warmer.

What can't this jacket do?   11-22-05
cat ott (1): rating
I recently bought the women's Varius Guide jacket and even after a week it is amazing! It works in heavy rain and snow. With snow, I suggest zipping in a fleece, or it may be too cold. It has a snow shield which isn't mentioned in the list of features but is one of the main reasons I bought it. Overall, this is a great jacket with all the features I look for:)

Excellent Purchase    04-09-07
Mary Kate (1): rating
I'm not a skier, but purchased this jacket because of normal living in New Hampshire. The winters here are COLD, the winds are crazy and the weather overall is completely unpredictable. This jacket was originally purchased to be a shell for my North Face fleece, just for extra warmth. It has been TREMENDOUS. Great to keep out the wind, great for keeping warm, awesome in the rain, and in the snow as well.. It wasn't even that expensive. A GREAT buy!

new coat wrong image   03-20-07
Anonymous: rating
I have received my north face jacket and it is a really nice jacket however, I was pretty disappointed to find out the liner of a winter coat was something that you had to purchase separately, I guess you fooled me once but will not fool me twice.

Not Much Bang for the Buck   02-01-08
Christi D (4): rating
I have buyer's remorse, not because the jacket isn't good (it is) but because I have found so many others for less money with better features and superior design. The light color seems to attract dirt and after only one washing, it lost its water repellancy. I treated it with Revivex and restored it. I wear it as a shell for alpine and Nordic skiing and it tends to bunch when layered. Disappointing...

Fabulous choice   01-09-08
Anonymous (2): rating
This jacket is an amazing choice. I love the fact that it can withstand a rainy day in Seattle yet warm enough (with my fleece zipped in) for below zero temps. Also, the color combinations are flattering. I highly recommend this for anyone in need of coat for winter sports or even just everyday use.

Great Shell   01-24-07
Improving Skiier (3): rating
The Varius Guide Jacket functions as a great shell. Layer underneath as little or as much as you need. I am very tall and the arms are perfect, the fit is generally perfect (which is usually difficult). Completely stops the wind, moisture, rain, snow, etc. Just fantastic. Has a number of pockets for all of your goodies (mp3, sunglasses, hat, keys, $$). Great for activities that require a lot of upper body movement.

Best shell I've ever tried   11-09-08
emilyjulia (1): rating
I am very happy with this jacket. I wanted a thicker, warmer shell that went over my hips and that is exactly what I got! The hood has great coverage and I am very happy with how dry and warm the jacket keeps me. It is not as fitted as some shells, but I like this since it allows me to zip in a fleece without it being too bulky. Generally still a flattering jacket, though.

Weather Proof   06-01-07
Ron in BG (5): rating
I have one of these jackets and my wife was always using it. SO I bought one for her. It is warmer than you might think it would be, and it's WEATHER PROOF, the best part. I would recommend this jacket to anyone.

Happy Camper!   04-17-07
Terressa Wilson (1): rating
I just want to say thank you! My daughter is really enjoying her jacket. She wanted that jacket for over a year. I just didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. I'm glad that I was able to get it for her. She wears it all the time, even to church! Thanks so much for making my daughter happy.

Great fit   01-02-07
teleknees (129): rating
The zip in is way nice, it even fits with my Columbia fleece. It is super dry and great for all around use with the rain and snow. It does fit true to size also don't worry about sizing up or down.

Love It!!!   12-03-06
meghan harrington (1): rating
It's a really nice jacket. I have a North Face down vest, and the Denali, which both fit in this perfect. I would recomend this jacket for anyone who's trying to block the wind, and the rain. The detachable hood is nice too.

Great jacket at a great value!   08-09-08
debrafitz2294616 (1): rating
I bought this for my 16-year-old daughter, and she loves it. She was torn between this and one of the North Face rain jackets, but this one is so much more substantial. The outer fabric is a bit stiffer than the rain jacket material. The inner fabric, while very thin, is extremely soft and comfortable. Though it's a shell, it's a very warm shell. This jacket will clearly be warm enough for most winter weather going from the car to a building, but the zip-in compatibility is great. We went to a local outdoor store to check these out before buying it online. The guy said this is their most popular North Face shell — it just flies off the shelf — and he couldn't believe we were going to get it for this price.
