So I have two jackets here. The reason being that this one that I am reviewing here this want to do is right here. This one I’m reviewing that you’re looking at is really a clone of this North Face jacket. It’s just really similar to this North Face jacket, so I thought first I would put this North Face jacket on and then show you, the one do clone and just kind of give you a sense of a comparison in a nutshell. These jackets are just incredibly similar, alright, so the main features of this North North Face coat it has sleeve cuffs you can tighten.

It’s got a big male side, zipper, meaning you zip up on the right side. It’s a male side, zipper velcro, a couple of front pockets here, no internal pocket in it. It has a hood hook which I always use when I’m, skiing and snowboarding and you can tighten up and if you need to you, can pop the hood off because it has snaps and you can pop the hood off. So that’s the main features of this jacket I’m using for years and really liked it again. It’s a North Face coat, it’s not too thick, it’s not down or anything like that, but it does have a smooth lining on the inside and a little bit of insulation and a really nice shell, alright.

So that is this North Face coat in a nutshell. Alright, so here is the what do jacket and it has a female side zipper. So your zipper is over on the left side and obviously you know men and women who use the female side zipper. The zipper is just a teeny bit rough and sometimes hard to pull down, so it just kind of catches a little bit, but you know not a big deal. You can figure it out, but it’s just a little bit rough. It also has the velcro wrist cuffs, just like the North Face jacket.

It has a one pocket here instead of two, it has the same pockets here and it has the hood. It has the hood, which is also detachable and actually I, think the hood is just a little bit more capacious or roomy than that Northeast this one, this hood actually zips off as opposed to buttoning off and actually I, prefer that the buttoning off hood, often pops off inadvertently when you don’t want it up. As far as inside the coat you’ve got an interior pocket, which you don’t have it on the North Face jacket and the lining is different.

Let me just show you that it has a kind of fuzzy fleecy lining on the hood and the jacket, and it still has that kind of water-resistant shell. So overall I would say: I am pretty impressed with this clone. It does not have the North Face brand I know a lot of people are really into brand-name, clothing and other items, but it does not have the North Face brand, but it is a pretty awesome jacket for the price. If you want to compare this to North Face go right ahead.

You’ll see the difference yourself. This guy is a medium. This is a medium-size jacket and the North Face is a medium-size jacket and no kidding. This thing fits me exactly the same as the medium North Face jacket. One thing it doesn’t have, which I really kind of missed, is the ability to seal up the bottom. I’m gonna show you this this one thing I missed that doesn’t have is it does not have a bungee cord on the bottom, which allows you to really seal up the bottom, so you can get a good closure on the bottom.

It has velcro and everything, but it will remain open on the bottom. Our one nice thing about that north base coat I’ll show you here is that it has a bungee on the bottom which allows you you know if you’re, skiing or snowboarding, when I really to seal up the bottom. It doesn’t look good with the bottom, all sealed up on the North Face, but it will keep you a little bit warmer and drier overall I gotta tell you. This is a pretty nice coat for me. It’s going to be a backup and a duplicate of my North Face jacket and I like it.

It is obviously not a North Face brand, but I think it has many, if not all or more, of the features of my North Face.

Hey Jim dreamy I wanted to show you my company called Jim, Mies I. Don’t really know you say that G and like Mike y se 69 98. Now it came with an extra 5% off and those of you that can do math realize that that’s a whopping three dollars and fifty cents, but hey covers attacks. It’s made like gym eyes. This is a 69 98. Gotta. Keep that in mind here. This is a very nice three-in-one jacket for the money. Why did I get this I actually have a three-in-one jacket, but I had a really nice three-in-one jacket and I have to go home to see my parents in Illinois and I live in Georgia and I.

Don’t want to take my nice jacket up there because I’ll end up doing things in my dad’s garage that will get all over it and I thought hey. You know, spend 70 bucks and if I mess it up well, you don’t I mess it up because I can wash it and it’ll. Be my work check it after that. But this is a very nice jacket for $70. First, it’s it’s a it’s a nice three-in-one. They say this is the Teflon material, I kind of have to take their word for it, but but it’s a nice material this this pocket right here, there’s my fingers, that’s how deep it is nice for, like chap, sticks, I, guess you could put some money in there.

If you didn’t want to have to dig for your pants pocket. There’s you know your pockets. You’d have to reach all the way up there, this this chest pocket now, I! Might it’s a little deeper I have an iPhone excess Mac excess? That is a 10 hands by the way, a 10s max with a defender, auto box case on this, and so it’s a fairly large phone. This really not gonna fit in here. It does fit rather nicely in these pockets down here on the side, which would be very, very functional.

I have a regular hip case that I, wear and I would probably wear that and in case like that. But but this is a this- is a really nice jacket it’s attractive. It’s you’re not gonna, see the workmanship on this and the types of details that you get I’ve got my my three-in-one jacket is look, let’s call it a South, but okay, it’s you both of you to pay attention to things like that. Hopefully, you’ll find the humor in this. If not sorry, this was funny here in my office, but um.

This is a nice jacket. It comes with a nice snap here at the bottom and, of course, velcro closures here to kind of seal in the zipper area. The zipper here these are, you know a nice three-in-one jacket if you buy like my south, but it was up many times more expensive than this, but for the for the amount of money that this is, this is a very high quality jacket. Now you have to kind of get used to the idea that this opens a this outside zipper opens a little differently now.

Details comes with a zip off hood here on the back. The hood comes up. It’s a nicely sized hood. I, don’t have any problem with the size. I, don’t I. Don’t really do this much we’re in Georgia, but in Illinois I will wear the hood, but it’s a nice hood. It comes with the chin straps on here, which are, you know, put you come across here. They have both you’re on them. You get the eye. You get the idea on that now. I did not secure the inside lining.

It is a three in one. So when I pulled this thing off, sleeves are gonna come out of this, which is just which is just fine and I’m. Gonna have to hold them funcly’ until I can get all the way out of it. Now what I did do is I did zip the inside liner in you know to the outside shelf and- and this thing comes off very nicely like this, and it comes out like that inside liner. This is a. This is a very nice like a fleece microfiber, whatever you want to call it, it’s not real.

It’s polyester, who-knows-how-many polyesters had to die to make this happen, but if I can get my arm inside of this thing, it would be nice. This worked well when I was practicing with it. Oh that’s why he didn’t do it because I pulled the sleeve out wrong, but but you’ll see here that sleeve comes out of there, just fine and then I can now I can’t get my harm at live. Tv no script, I’ve gotta love it now. This is very nice on the inside I. Don’t think that this this is made like it’s a real pocket.

It’s actually lined as you can you see that yeah, it’s a line pocket and then, if I wanted to keep that inside of here, that would be more than KB and what’s nice is this is an actual real pocket? It’s it’s completely sewn all the way around and in it it’s it’s able to hold the hold little goodies like that. The zipper here works very nicely again. This is a this. Is a nice zipper on this and the pockets here are very deep: the pockets on this thing you know they’re again, my my 10s max with the OtterBox Defender case fits in it very nicely.

Now what you have here, these little loops. You see that yeah this little loop here this little loop here and I’ll show you the one on the back of it here. You can see it there that things sticking out on the back of my neck. That’s another loop! What that does! This is the neck loop, so you can sit there and attach it to the neck, and then on the inside of these sleeves, you roll this up. Now there it’s a little further up than what you would expect because see with see where these are.

These aren’t like right down on the cuff, but then then this is the loop on the inside of that. So the cuffs stay where they’re supposed to stay when you want to utilize it as I’ve completely as a completely heavy jacket. Alright, frankly, not today, we we I, think it’d have just gotten them low 30s today, here in Atlanta Georgia, which is like everybody’s thinks, they’re gonna die, but but but it, but it’s very, very, very well made only drawback and I’m, not letting it affect.

You know how I evaluate this because I’m putting a curve on this thing because of the price. The only drawback is when you bring this thing up, it’s tight in the neck on this. Now, when it’s in the three in one position, you know when I have it as a liner. This never gets zipped, because I’m zipping, the outside of the the shell of the jacket that that zipper- and this doesn’t do this I- don’t know if this is an issue. I do not believe that this is something that quality control could catch, but that there’s a good possibility of that, but considering the prices I’m paying for this and the purpose for which I’m get I’m using this, for this is perfectly acceptable to me- may not be accept acceptable to you.

I have a lot of 16 little over 16 inch neck. If you’ve got a really big neck, you just need to get the next size up. This is a large, so pull this off real quickly, and so that’s that’s that now you show you this material up a little closer here. The material is very soft. It’s the pleasant color this. This is the the navy, blue and I. Don’t know what they call this. We used to call this weight with blue back in the 80s. Who knows what it is now the shell.

It is a liable showing what’s nice, it also has a liner in it. So when you put the shell on, if you’re wearing a shirt like the shirt that I have on, it’s not going to be grabby and it allow your shirt to uh get to you know not bunch up on you or or if you’re wearing a sweater, for example. Well, that would be that now, of course, these type of jackets by their very nature, they’re gonna, be grabby. Whenever you put anything on this is not it’s got velcro tighteners here on the wrist.

This is a this. Is that zipper that I was telling you about before, rather than go all the way through the jacket? So you can I scratch your arm around why they ever do that on some of the three and once they put it all the way through, but this is an actual pocket. That’s the pocket! On the inside of here, they do give you a little pocket right here now again using my 10×10 s-max I’ll. Put that in there it doesn’t go all the way down, but because of where it is I believe would be pretty secure unless I was actually skiing or snowboarding, or things that I would never do not at my age, tennis, yes, snowboarding ski absolutely freaking, not, but this is a.

This is a very nice jacket and, of course, this thing of this thing, zips up very nicely I should I demonstrated that earlier it’s got nice appointments on it. You know the little yellow line nerds that they put on this thing impressed with now get mice gym, ice or jennice. You know there’s no way to know how to really really pronounce this thing. This comes in a blue weight, a it’s, not a deep black, but with a black finish here on the inside. They call this thing an uncle and Boer War.

You know right here. They call it a collection. They talk about how this is a breathable this. This is not some of the breathable fabrics that we have here in the US, but it is a waterproof snow proof and sun proof, so it probably won’t break down on you in that, but it is wind proof as well and of course then you’ve got the you know if you’re, if you’re fluent in Chinese, then this is the content. Okay, so but nice jacket, 70 bucks I mean I I’m very impressed with this, because if I mess this up, I don’t care, but it’s a nice jacket.

I really would not want to wantedly mess it up, but but it’s it’s purpose-built I think we have to look at things like that. Doesn’t compare with it with a jacket just three times. This is expensive. No, but it’s not two times as expensive. It’s three times less expensive, and so that’s why we get jackets like this. That’s why I buy jackets like this and I bought jackets like this and I was incredibly pleased with my purchase and you will be too so I hope you get.
