The North Face Redpoint Jacket - Men's
The North Face Redpoint Jacket replaces fleece as an all-around insulating layer—it has far better wind & water resistance, layers without bunching, and is simply warmer. It also doesn't pill or collect lint and hair-we've seen that old fleece. The Redpoint's a silky smooth jacket that keeps you warmer than you might expect from just looking at it. Filled with the best synthetic insulation on the market, PrimaLoft, the Redpoint looks and feels fairly thin but keeps you amazingly warm. In fact, it's 30% lighter than fleece of comparable warmth. Stuff the entire jacket inside the left hand pocket, zip it up, and you're left with a bundle no bigger than a brown bag lunch that weighs only 17 ounces. Makes it easy to toss in your pack or suitcase. It's a 4-season jacket that you're going to LOVE.

Love it
This is such a great insulation layer. I have fleeces galore but the smooth fabric and warmth of this coat really make it a better choice for extreme cold. It's cleverly designed with layering in mind, as evidenced by the snap-loops on the cuffs that make it an ideal replacement for the lame-o liner that came in my motorcycle jacket. There's really nothing else which is both this thin and this warm. I can't say enough good about it.
North Face Redpoint
This jacket lived up to everything it said it would. I stayed warm at ~0 F in Colorado with the addition of only a thermal and sweater as underlayers. The jacket was quite breathable and packable but the zippers can get stuck if you are not careful, especially with cold hands. Also, I found it to be waterproof even after testing it under a water faucet.
rain/wind/cold,no problem
I live in ga. just got this in time for 4 days of rain, 25 degree temps, and wind chills of 15 degrees. Got this on your rec. glad I did. This thing handles it all. I only wore a light short sleeve rugby jersey, was outside for 30-40 minutes at time and was dry and toasty every time. I keep getting rubber neckers checking this jacket out in town too. Zipped into my shell a lot smoother than the salathe I have, and getting in and out of them together is way easier. Can't wait to need to use them together (rate 12 if they make it w/ a hood, and it zips into my summit series shell. This is going to Co. w/ me every year. thanks for a great pick-up . X- mas week is going to be low 40's and mid 20's. I can't wait. Thanks for these reviews,it helps to get some feedback on products b-4 I buy online.

The jacket is great. Lightweight, great pockets, surprisingly warm, completely stuff-able into a corner of your pack, great in the rain, & the ladies love it.
Men's Redpoint Jacket
Hello, It was a great jacket. Although after two days of having the jacket, it was stolen while I was shopping @ IKEA in Philadelphia, Pa. But I would highly recommend the Redpoint Jacket to anyone. Thanks.

Training Tips
After each interval, take your pulse rate by counting the number of beats at your wrist or neck for 15 seconds. Multiply that result by four to get your beats per minute. Your next interval should start before your heart rate is less than 60% of your maximum.
The four components of good fitness include flexibility, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance. For optimum health, include at least two of these groups in three workouts per week.
Your fitness level will improve by overloading, working your body hard enough to stimulate the body, progression, increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise over time, and regularity, working out frequently, at least three times a week.
As your fitness improves over time by following a carefully planned fitness program, your ability to exercise closer to your maximum heart rate will improve.
