Summary: First bought Mountain light parka but after a week, I needed something more tough and more active.
Used in -20 degree to snow storms. Kept dry no water what so ever. Vents are not good for warm spring days. I use mine with Denali fleece (they zip together)
After 2 -3 times washing right collar started to show some wear due to friction with my metal wrist watch. I told this to North Face and they told me to send it back to them and a month later they replaced it!
Customer Service: Perfect! Send 3 jacket and a pair of shoes for repair. So far they only repaired one jacket, rest they have replaced them with brand new ones.

Summary: I have hiked around mt. hood in this jacket. It was raining and snowing and I stayed dry and very warm. I was disapointed that TNF didn't put hand warmer pockets in to this years jacket. I have had many differant jackets by mountian hardwear and marmot to name a few. I always go back to my mountian jacket because it fits me better than the others, I am a big guy at 300 pounds yet this jacket is still very comfotable.
Customer Service: This is my second jacket that was given to me for free because of the Gore-tex failing by The North Face. I have been outstandingly happy with the customer service provided by the north face.

Summary: I bought the Mountain Jacket half a year ago and have been using it for mountaineering and snowboarding, iow in all kinds of weather. I see that a lot of the reviews here claim that the jacket is best suited for spring/summer use, and do not agree. The jackets main downside is its vents, which close easily because of the velcros. They're also a tad small. As a result I generated a lot of sweat during the summer months. In winter and cold weather (norwegian spring, fall and winter) however the jacket is excellent. it's waterproof, the fit is comfortable and it looks darn good. the hood adjusts easily and fits your head with or without a helmet. props also to the many nice details.
Customer Service: no contact with tnf

Summary: Slick color-spliced pattern down the sides of the body make for a nice break in TNF tradition. Rest assured, however, the changes aren't just for the fashion-minded. As fully featured and performance oriented as the tried and true original, with innovative new core venting and Napoleon pockets that keep your hands toasty warm on icy lift rides, and won't get in the way of your backpack straps
hahaaha! you've to be kidding: this is not a description, it's an advertisement. "Rest assured" I won't be buying this wanna be yuppie fashion jacket!
Customer Service: no experience although i've heard about those waits
