MEN’S HYPERAIR GORE-TEX® TRAIL JACKET

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S HYPERAIR GORE-TEX® TRAIL JACKET:

This a very expensive rain jacket that works amazingly well for the serious runner. During the crazy midwest spring weather, I've run in 35F temp with snow and sleet to 50F with a steady down pour and it is completely waterproof. It is very breathable but I still had a small amount of sweat buildup in the warmer temperatures. The material is incredibly light, it seems durable enough but not very pliable and a bit like wearing a glorified garbage bag.

The cut and features are the best part of this jacket. I'm 5'4" and 130lbs, my XS size actually fits as advertised. The fit is slim with enough room for a base layer or long sleeve running top for colder weather. I appreciate how there are no hand pocket, I don't need extra baggy material that can leak where hand pockets would go. The small rear waist pocket is big enough to fit a few gels. The hood provides just enough coverage with the a small elastic rim that allows it to placed or removed without unzipping the top. Superb product that I can train in through 3 seasons.

Casual, everyday light light, no hand pockets like it says

I've been very happy about my Hyperair Gore-Tex Trail Jacket. When it arrived in the mail I was taken aback by how light this jacket is (size medium 5.5 oz). So far, it's survived two months of a Portland winter which has included daily wear, biking, and hiking in down pours. It is COMPLETELY waterproof. I've been out in the rain for hours at a time and my mid and baselayers have remained totally dry. The jacket looks really nice to boot! In a city full of rain shells this one definitely sticks out - the outer material has a unique waxy look and feel to it. I've only had this jacket for two months but so far I've been very impressed and I've never been impressed with any shell I've ever owned; fingers crossed that it holds up for the long haul.

My wife got this for me, and I can't say enough good things about it. I was constantly having to take apart my 3 piece North Face jacket and then put it back together with our changing weather, and spring showers, but with this, I only need the one piece and can save the heavier jacket for the really cold days.

This jacket looks great on paper.. extremely lightweight, waterproof, but durability? None, zero.. this jacket ripped on my 2nd run from brushing up against a tree to let another hiker pass.. no fall, no snag, just brushed up against a tree and a huge rip down the right forearm.. contacted North Face and obviously they will not warranty "normal wear and tear".. rips are not covered.. Thanks North Face! This jacket is a ripoff, again stats look good on paper but this jacket can't be worn on a trail, I'm not sure I'd recommend it for urban use either.. just no durability whatsoever, and North Face won't warranty it, no replacement, Thanks North Face!

I've been running for 40 years and I have never owned as useful an article of clothing. The GoreTex Active later is totally waterproof yet quite breathable. Unlike other such jackets it can be worn comfortably in 70 degree spring showers or -40 windchill when layered appropriately. Expensive yes, but how much value do you place on comfort in mile 75 of an Ultra when temperatures drop or a sudden downpour happens? Traditional 3 layer Gore Tex is uncomfortable as temperatures rise and you begin to perspire, not Gore Tex Active
