The jacket is very comfortable and very warm. However, the picture above, at least for the Cardinal Red version, had RED zippers, not WHITE ones. This makes a huge difference in the looks of the coat, in my opinion. I did not send it back or anything, because it is still the same jacket, but just beware of this issue. Backcountry is certainly not to blame for this, The North Face seems to have poor product continuity. They must have ran out of white zippers, and just decided it was ok to throw red ones in, despite the fact that the design, especially for the chest and arm pockets, certainly looks better with white zippers.
