I bought this rain jacket because of the design but the quality for this product is incredible, definitely I'll try to buy something more products like this.

This is my second time purchasing this jacket. This is the updated retro version (different materials) but I love the fit, the protection and durability it offers.

Seen this and had to add t to my collection. I'm always hot then I'm not so I need a jacket that matched me. The vents are convenient to keep me from over heating. Yet I zipped them up for warmth. Love the versatility of that

Great feel and fit for Spring cold mornings on my kids lacrosse field!! Love the front pockets and the hide-away hood keeps you warm and dry in all occasions.

This jacket replaced my old mountain light jacket. So far, it's been fantastic! My old fleece jacket zips in perfectly for winter.

This is my third North Face Gore-Tex Jacket. I bought a Mountain Light in the late 1980's. In the early 2000's I bought a Denali Vest and discovered that it's zippers were not compatible with my Jacket. When I sent the jacket into North Face to have its zippers upgraded, North Face sent me a replacement Gore-Tex Jacket, a Mountain Guide Gore tex Hooded Jacket. Fast forward to 2003, my replacement jacket's velcro was beginning to be non-functional as well as having some small tears in the exterior fabric. I sent the Mountain Guide into North Face for repair. They informed me the jacket wasn't repairable. However, the offered to allow me the purchase price of the jacket in credit towards a new North Face jacket of my choice. When I found the 86 Retro Mountain Jacket on their site, I felt as if I had found a garment that combined the best of my two earlier jackets.
The 86 Mountain Retro has excellent cuffs that adjust with velcro. The fit is generous enough that I can layer underneath or just wear the jacket over a t-shirt in warmer weather. The hood is very well designed and highly adjustable. This jacket is shorter in length than either of my other North Face jackets but that seems to be in keeping with current styles. I find the two front pockets to be very useful and comfortable as well. The pit-zips do their job very well. The outer wind flap for the zipper closes with very healthy snaps which I find to be a great improvement over the velcro of my previous jacket.
I have worn a North Face Gore Tex jacket since 1987. I have used them in all kinds of weather both in my job as an emergency medical services helicopter pilot as well as daily use on our small farm. Each of the three models I have owned have preformed perfectly over the years. Based on my past experiences and the use I've already gotten from my new 86 Retro Mountain Jacket, I think I will have excellent service from it as well. I'm at 36 years and counting now.

Love this jacket!!!!! Just the right mix of light/heavy to be warm yet mobile! Jacket fits and looks awesome. Love the non flashy neutral green that I picked. Jacket has all the modern features yet has the simple conservative look I was looking for! The only thing I would have liked would be if the jacket had a couple chest pockets.

The very good-looking 86 jacket is more warm and windproof when paired with the 1996 down jacket.

Great coat. Got me through a kilimanjaro trek nice and dry, but off the mountain it looks great as a lightweight coat around town. Fit is large enough for about 4 layers underneath.
