North Face Ventrix Jacket Review
Climb camp explore the outdoors.
North face ventrix jacket review. I also appreciate the north face using thicker fabric on the elbows and lower arm area. I m at home christmas tree inside. The ultimate alpine workhorse this lightweight and durable hybrid hoodie blends our innovative ventrix dynamic venting insulation which activates with movement for breathability and warmth with durable and stretchy polartec power grid fleece for freedom of movement and moisture management. Other versions of the north face ventrix.
The north face tells us the key differences are to the insulation and denier of fabric rendering the new jacket about three ounces lighter than the previous version. The women s ventrix hoodie is lighter at 12 ounces and sold in different colors but otherwise the two jackets are identical in overall feature sets insulation and. The north face men s ventrix jacket is a lightly insulated mid layer for cool weather activity. And the ventrix jacket has become one of my go to warm layers.
The sleeves had good length and the body of the ventrix acceptable without being too baggy or boxy. We put the men s ventrix hoodie to the test for this review and the north face also makes the jacket in a women s version. Tackle the challenges of rapid elevation gain and loss with this new lightly insulated jacket that features our state of the art ventrix 8482. We do not burn our central heating high.
The ventrix hoodie is designed to deliver the very best in breathable synthetic insulation. The latest incarnation is allover 20d fabric with 60g of insulation in the body and 80g in the hood compared to the previous ventrix s combination of 20 30 40 and 50d fabrics. The 60g ventrix insulation is synthetic and stretchy. Not only is it movement friendly the insulation through the back panel is perforated which allows for venting during physical activity.
As i am writing this review i am actually wearing the ventrix jacket by the north face. We always prefer putting on an extra layer to keep us warm. Perforations in key areas are designed to expand and dump heat or contract and retain as you move so you won 39 t overheat or sweat out. Ventilation for balanced warmth and breathability.
I like the material used in the ventrix.
