Mustafa Baloglu - 2008-05-11Great Jacket
I have enjoyed the jacket greatly. It is light yet very protective. Several pockets provide you great opportunity. Hood is very usable. I like altrec's fast service as well.
Madelyn Ortiz - 2008-04-04Great Jacket
For all time use. Comfortable, light weight and moveable.At first I didn't think it was going to be warm enough for the winter months, but it is. Just wish I could have gotten the Orange, but they were out of stock in the size needed.

Anonymous - 2008-03-29Jacket seems just right for skiing in all weather conditions
Just received this jacket so haven't had a chance to test it out yet. But the Hyvent fabric, lining, and construction is exactly like my wife's NF jacket from 5+ years ago and it is still holding up well, easily shedding wet snow and rain. I'm expecting the same from my jacket. Number, size and location of pockets are great. I also like the ability to remove the hood. One minor critique is the rubber tab at the end of the adjustable velcro cuff which makes it stick out a bit.
Anonymous - 2008-03-24Excellent Jacket
Warm and very water proof wear it with the Denali fleece. Pockets have soft fabric in them that helps to keep hands warm. Worth the price.

This is a really great jacket. I have only had it a few weeks, but I am quite happy with the purchase. It is quite warm by itself but also works really great as a waterproof and windproof shell. I am currently using it with the TNF Aconcagua down jacket and and the combo has kept me quite warm in below zero wind chill conditions. It looks great too. Highly recommended. Service from Altrec was good as well. I would definitely buy from them again.
John L - 2007-12-04Perfect Jacket! Great Service!
I have had this jacket for a month. This has been a great waterproof and windproof jacket.Initially I received it in wrong color. I told Altrec about it, and they sent me the correct one overnight for free!I am definitely coming back to Altrec again.
Anonymous - 2007-12-02Fantastic jacket
after buying this jacket for my self, I ended up up buying it for my whole family! It is such a great jacket for a great price. It does a superb job of blocking the wind even in the coldest of all weathers. I found that I only needed this jacket during the cold winter season. It is true that fleece would make you whole lot warmer but I found that even sweater was sufficient. I will definitely order from Altrec again!

Had this jacket for around a month now and have been able to put it through several tests. It's extremely waterproof as I got caught in several downpours and no part of the jacket leaked. The pit zips provide better ventilation than other jackets with core vents.

Great jacket with pockets large enough to hold all of your three year old's stuff that he needs to discard down the mountian. Wasn't too warm for spring skiing yet cut the wind on the chair. A great affordable ski jacket.

Dwight Tutt - 2004-01-09Lightweight and Durable
An excellent and versatile jacket which is as good as a Gortex jacket. Its a perfect addition to your gear for an all around jacket that is used for mountaineering, hiking, and also climbing. The Core Vents are also a key part of staying comfortable when you start to sweat on those long hikes in the cold.

The Mens Varius Guide Jacket is a great jacket for any type of occasion. I have already used it for skiing and it feels great and easy to move in. But the jacket is also great for everyday tasks. Its light weight but at the same time accomplishes the task of keeping me warm.

Anonymous - 2002-12-06great NF jacket
this guide jacket is a top of the line NF jacket. Its features make the jacket warm, windproof, waterproof, and stylish at the same time. Even without an extra fleece, the shell alone is quite warm, even in the winter. Great buy

this is NF's cheapest shell and is still a durable and warm winter jacket. The zip in feature makes it versatile for any season and its a lightweight jacket ideal for sports.

Anonymous - 2008-07-17Great jacket overall
Great jacket overall, kept me dry during the winter. The only complaint I have is that the underarm zippers (on mine at least) constantly made themselves known. It always feels like something is rubbing or creeping up your underarms. I almost returned it for this alone, so you can tell I was highly annoyed. Overall though, I decided the benefits far outweighed the negatives. Five stars, but one star off for the bulky underarm zippers.
