Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S SUMMIT L5 GORE-TEX® PRO JACKET:
I got this jacket as a replacement for an Arcteryx Alpha SV that I had to warranty after 3 years because of wetting out. I had high expectations coming from the Alpha SV and this jacket has exceeded them! It really is quite similar to the Arcteryx with the addition of a powder skirt, all while weighting slightly less. I found the powder skirt to actually be quite a nice feature. I have pushed this jacket hard Ice climbing in the cascades, winter mountaineering on Mt. Baker, resort skiing in Oregon, and snowmobiling all over the NorthWest, and I have yet to put a tear in it, or break something off. Only bummer is on my third day wearing it though, I got some motor oil from a snowmobile pull cord across the front of my jacket, and it will not wash out. I suppose that's my fault though. Overall excellent jacket! I will be looking at TNF again as it comes time to update more of my kit. The bibs really have my eye.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S SUMMIT L5 GORE-TEX® PRO JACKET:
I have been struggling to find the perfect outer layer shell that will accommodate a broad range of mid layers since TNF reengineered the Summit Series and introduced the Alpine fit. I am 6' tall and weigh 160 lbs. I am 70 years old so gravity and age have relocated some of that weight. The Alpine fit shells worked great for L 1&2 but L 3&4 had to be significantly compressed to close the shell zipper. This shell retains the key specifications and features of the early L5 but adopts an Active Fit, which for me, accommodates the Down and Thermo Ball layers perfectly.
This shell has the quality of materials, design and construction that I would feel comftorable taking it in any conditions and it has the room to accept my frame and any layer or combination of layers that I require.
This is a quality piece of equipment that will stand up to very harsh conditions.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S SUMMIT L5 GORE-TEX® PRO JACKET:
I was initially skeptical of just having the two giant chest pockets, but now I never want a shell that has the traditional 4 or 3 pocket layout.
Having the two giant pockets makes it so you don't play to game of "what dang pocket is that thing in", and it's so much easier to get things in and out even with a pack on. I can even fit powder ski skins in there.
Also having those two pockets right in front makes any weight in there feel more centered and less "paunchy" then when you put a bunch in lower traditional pockets. And of course zero worry if it's interfering with a harness.
Stoked on the double zip.
Cut is perfect for me for layering, I'm on slim side of medium. The hood is great with a helmet, little too big without one but would rather have the helmet fit be dialed than a little too small with a helmet.
