The North Face Resolve Jacket - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Fine foul weather friend!   11-15-06   

This jacket is not a sheer skin, but it's not really bulky either. The description on the site lead me to believe it had an insulating layer (they said chamois) but in fact it's just a mesh that keeps your skin off the possibly cold exterior wall of the coat. I like the jacket a lot. It fits well (I bought the XXL and have a 48" chest) and is just the right thickness / warmth and waterproofness. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the collar / hood design. If the hood is stashed away, you look like Ziggy Stardust with a big ol' puffy collar behind you. If the hood is out, you still have a rather large collar flapping around. But, it works very well, just a bit unsightly is all. In closing I'd just say that this jacket is perfect for staying dry, even if all you've got on under it is a t-shirt, other jackets will get clammy, but not this one (due to the mesh liner in it.) Now, go outside, it's raining.

Beautiful, but WAY small.   10-03-08   

I returned this shirt, much to my chagrin. It is a very nice, high-end, shirt. Problem is sizing. I wear an XL in most everything I buy. This XL fit like a women's medium. I'm just saying, it was tiny. And they don't make an XXL, so I was S.O.L.

Seriously, best shorts ever made.   07-03-08   

I have three pairs of these shorts. They are, by far, the most comfortable, most "wearable" things I own. The waist band configuration is very comfy, the length is good, construction is flawless. Crazy thing is how cool they are to wear, and how fast they dry after chasing a frisbee into a creek or getting a garden hose aimed at you by a five year old. I've dripped oil on them, and it came out after spraying it with prewash stuff. The material is thin enough to be cool, but bomb-proof. Gusseting in the crotchal area makes them good for biking too. They are just the best shorts ever made. (Oh, and they look pretty good too.) Trust me, get some.
