Pros: warm, good looking fit, durable construction Cons: not super breathable Traveled with this jacket through 2 weeks in Patagonia. I was impressed with its durability and versatility. It kept me warm down to 40 degrees easily and could layer with a mid-weight underneath. It is not the most breathable jacket bc it does have some water resistance. I also have not had any issues with the zippers that others have mentioned. Other drawbacks including having only two pockets, relatively heavy weight, and lack of packability, this will take up some space in your pack.

Okey product

The jacket is not of the best quality for such a high price. I recommend looking for something of higher quality for the price.

Great piece, zipper also blew out.

Love this piece. TNF needs to fix the zippers though. Mine blew out in the first two months. Previous Ventrix version I still have with no quality issues.

Great jacket, poor zipper quality

I have 4 of these jackets. After the weak zipper failed on my first jacket , I take my new Ventrix jackets to my tailor and have her install a heavy duty YKK nylon zipper before my first use of my Ventrix jackets, Never had a problem since. I love these jackets! They are a perfect mid layer when skiing, hunting or fishing. The are a perfect lightweight outer layer to wear in our freezing San Francisco summers!

Perfect Everyday Mountain Hoodie

I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

Bought this for my partner and it’s become his go-to layer—he wears it every day, whether he’s running errands in town or skiing. The Ventrix insulation and breathable panels keep him warm without overheating, and he loves how the stretch fabric moves with him on the slopes. The helmet-compatible hood and no-shoulder-seam design make it super comfortable with a pack or helmet. Best part: it transitions perfectly from mountain days to casual wear, so it’s always in rotation

Disappointed

I read someone else's comments and had the same issue. Loved everything about this, but the zipper broke after a year...spendy item to only last a year...disappointed.

Extremely versatile

I love this jacket. Can comfortably wear it walking around town in the high 30s (F) with a t shirt on underneath, or in the mid 60s and you don't get too hot. Never been rock climbing in my life, but this is the perfect travel jacket. The zipper is a little weird who cares.

Terrible zipper!

I use this as a layering piece. I am on my fourth jacket as the zipper has broken 3 other times. It is very disappointing that it happens in the middle of the season and then the warranty process takes so long.

I love this product but it always breaks

I have had this coat 3 times in 3 years, the zipper breaks or something else breaks. Every time i return it to get it fixed yet same problem over and over again. I love the jacket just the quality is crap

Perfect midweight jacket

The cut, design, and fit of this jacket is perfect. Comfortable and super-versatile. I'll use it as a midlayer on cold ski days, and an outer layer around town.
