Why We Like The North Face Chakal Jacket
Whether we're in the park or the backcountry, The North Face's Chakal Jacket keeps us primed and throwing shapes without restriction. The body-mapped insulation holds in heat as we wait to drop, while the stretch fabrication follows our every move. On climbs and warmer days, we open the underarm vents to turn up the air. And when fresh snow starts to fall, we cinch the hood over our helmet and let the waterproof build shake off the flakes.

100% recommend, just layer if you're not moving!
First let me say I love this jacket, it was worth every penny. Second, it's not sufficiently insulated to protect you in sub freezing temperatures if you're not moving. The under arm venting is awesome if you're skiing in 40 degree weather, but if you're standing in 20 degrees F in a line outside you're going to be COLD! The jacket is large and versatile enough to accommodate a solid base layer and with a fleece and an under shirt I'm comfortable skiing in single digits, but when you stop moving you need that extra layer to protect you! The forearm pocket is clutch for storing your RFID lift pass and a goggle wipe. The interior bottle pocket is also super helpful. The shell is super water tight and keeps out rain and snow even if you wipe out and the hood is more than large enough to raise over a helmet. Highly recommend, just layer!

Not crazy about the fit
The jacket's fit is a little too tight for me, so I am sending it back and ordering one that is a relaxed fit

Nice Jacket!
Super nice jacket. Has all the features you would want in in insulated ski jacket. Kept him warm and dry for a winter of skiing in the mountains. Bought for my 13 year old son who is 5'4" and 130 lbs. Size small fit great.

Bad zippers and not very waterproof
As other people have mentioned, the zippers are poorly designed and you will have a hard time opening and closing them when out on the mountain. As also mentioned, the waterproofness of this jacket is not so good and on a wet day it's going to feel soggy
