Pros & Cons
Reasons to buy:

- Breathes fairly well.
- The outer layer is both waterproof and wind resistant.
- Packs down very well.
- Quiet material.
Expert Reviews
- Highly weather resistant.
- Good for resort skiing.
- The shell alone provides more warmth than similar shells, and the warmth can be improved by also wearing the liner.
- The adjustable hood fits helmets well.
- Allows for free movement.
- Offers good ventilation and temperature adjustment.
- Offers lots of little details like pass holders and goggle wipes that make it especially handy for resort skiing.
Reasons NOT to buy:
User Reviews
- Not warm enough for truly cold days.
- The liner gets easily pushed out of the shell when putting the jacket on.
- The jacket feels low-quality for the price.
- Fits a little long.
- The zippers are difficult to use with gloves on.
- The front pockets are not lined.
- The fit seems oversized for many users.
Expert Reviews
- The fit is a bit boxy in the torso.
- The jacket liner is not compatible with the powder skirt, although that is a common problem with 3-in-1 jackets.
Summary:
The North Face Thermoball Triclimate Insulated Jacket for men is a relatively light but highly weatherproof jacket well-suited for resort skiing. This jacket is good for layering, although on its own is best suited for spring-skiing days, and not long exposure to the cold. With thoughtful details, a stylish fit, and good ventilation, this is a well-designed jacket that works for around-town or resort skiing, but is not necessarily suited for more extreme adventures.
