 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello everyone, I am off to Tignes soon and need some advice on what jacket to buy, I have been looking at several North Face jackets and not sure which is suitable? Firstly I looked at a Mens Kardiak, Triclimate Flashlight jacket RRP £179. Now this does not fall under the skiing section of the website so is it just for walking etc? im not really sure how to attach a picture but if you type the above description in on your browser it will appear.
Any advice is welcome
Thanks

Must admit it looks good, the only downsides I can see (compared to a dedicated ski jacket) is that if you are wearing the insulation fitted and you get too hot then the pitzips are not going to be much help, they only go through the shell not through the inner jacket, and the other downside is that I prefer my ski jackets to have a ski pass pocket near the wrist so I can wiggle it near the ski lift barrier to allow me through

also don't forget North Face sizes run big, so try one on if you can

@Sack the Juggler, thanks for the advice, I usually attach string to my pocket with my pass on. My other option is the Jeppeson Jacket which is a little more expensive but yes your point about getting too hot is valid. I guess you could take the inner shell off?

@GO1996, yes, you could take the inner off, but sometimes you need it, but I ski hot, very hot, so I usually wear a t-shirt and a windproof jacket with little insulation, unless its very cold, then I wear a proper ski jacket with pitzips.
I like the look of that Jeppeson, I have a salomon jacket with light insulation and pitzips and it looks similar(ish)
