The North Face Men’s Varius Guide Jacket is the perfect coat for the upcoming ski season. After researching and trying on and testing several jackets and options, this is the coat that I have purchased for the 2008-2009 ski season. The jacket is a perfect shell with light insulation. I was tempted to get the 3-in-one North Face or even the more insulated Varius guide, but found that this jacket is perfect. True to size fit and not a ton of bulk. It features the North Face HyVent Technology offering wind resistance, breathable and is waterproof.

The North Face Men’s Varius Guide Jacket The Varius Guide Jacket is a classic all-weather jacket with a fortified shell. Jacket has plenty of pockets and one is specifically designed for a MP3 player. The hood works well over a helmet or can be removed if you do not want to use it. A versatile ski jacket for any condition.
