Mountain Light Jacket (Men's)

Dec 26, 2025

Oversize

I tried on the size that is equivalent to a women's XL and a men's S at the store, and since I wanted a length that covers my backside, I chose the men's size. I also liked that it has a zip-in feature, but I found the position of the chest pocket to be a bit too high and difficult to use.

It's fine that the logo is not prominent

The logo is not very noticeable, so it seems like it can be worn in business settings as well.

For those who get hot, this is enough

I was torn between the Baltro and this jacket, but since I often travel by car and don't stay in very cold places, a store clerk recommended it to me and I purchased it! The zip-in fleece and other features are excellent. I will buy it again if it breaks!

Standard

As expected, it's good since it's a classic. The white logo stands out, so older men might prefer the black logo. I have a Denali jacket zipped in underneath. It is sufficient for winter in Nagoya as a winter coat.

Moderate oversized fit. The silhouette with black on black is also great.

Good

I bought it to wear over clothes when I don't want to dress too warmly. Since it has a zip-in feature, it's easy to adjust on cold days. However, the hood is a bit higher than I expected and hits the back of my head.

Can be worn in business or leisure

I finally got my desired black x black. I have a physique that is larger than average. For commuting, I wear a zip-in vers summit and polo shirt underneath this jacket, and that seems to be just right. It’s not cold at all in temperatures around 1°C. If I remove the fleece, I think I can wear it comfortably in autumn and spring, so I'm looking forward to wearing it from now on.

Perfect for oversized lovers

I wanted to wear it oversized, so I compared it with a women’s XL, which the store clerk suggested. I felt that the length was not much different, but the body width was slightly slimmer in women's as compared to men's S, so it was the right decision to go with men's S.

Awesome!

After purchasing the NP11834 black size S in October 2021, I bought a second piece this time. Aside from an overall size up, the changes in the placement of the drawcord clasp in the waist from the lining to the front side pockets, and the GORE-TEX tag placement, are all good touches. Above all, the long-awaited matching color logo was the deciding factor for purchase!

Exceeds expectations! NP62550 FK M

Every year I've been getting the mountain jacket, but since it became ePE this year, I decided to try the mountain light jacket. First of all, I really liked the color fossil (ivory) x black. The way the collar stands is also wonderful. The size has been renewed and made larger, so I chose M. Although the absolute sense of security leans toward the mountain jacket, the mountain light is also a superb jacket that is sufficiently matured.

Thin and light, but excellent warmth retention

I was skeptical about the cold protection due to the thin fabric, but after wearing it, my impression is that its windproof and thermal properties are good. Even in about 10 degree Celsius weather, I was not cold wearing just a thin sweatshirt under this jacket. I'm glad I bought it.

With the zip-in feature, it seems like I can wear it even in midwinter! The water repellency is excellent, and I also love the design and color. It will also serve me well for my hobby of fishing!

Purchased for town use

I have been using The North Face products, including wear and daypacks, for a long time. This time, I purchased this jacket for town use. Normally, I buy size M, but this time I tried it on and chose size S. Since it is made a bit larger, if you are not considering layering too much, a one size smaller might fit the body better for style and handling.

As expected, quality

I wore the mountain jacket but wanted something lighter, so I purchased the mountain light.
Last year, North Face was extremely popular, and to avoid having the same thing as others, I immediately bought the blackout embroidery.
Regardless of trends, it can be worn for years, and if you zip in a Denali inside, it's no problem even in the dead of winter.
You can become thinly dressed with one zipper operation, so it's a really good feature.

Good

The collar has been raised compared to past models due to size changes, making it less susceptible to the cold.
I think many people have been looking for an all-black option like this, so I hope it continues to be available in the future.

The best!

There are opinions that the mountain jacket is too common, but depending on how you style it, I think it's really a good item. I was unsure about size 171, 68 and tried on both S and M.
I wore heat tech and a thin knit.
S is for those who like a tight fit. M is just right. As a result, neither felt strange, but my wife said S made my face look big, so... I ended up with M. I'm very satisfied.

However, spring and autumn feel short, and it seems like the active period for the mountain light jacket is getting shorter, which is disappointing.

I bought it as a commuting outfit for this winter.
The logo in the same color doesn’t stand out, which is good for business scenes.
I'm looking forward to wearing it starting around December in Kanto.

Gore-Tex for streetwear

At 175cm tall and 70kg, it fits well with some room.
Even with the zip-in Acconcagua jacket, I think I could still wear something like a fleece vest.

The pocket position is quite high to avoid interfering with the waist belt of a backpack, and this position along with the Velcro makes it a bit difficult to use. Since the neck is quite high, it becomes hard to use when zipped up all the way, but generally, it is quite convenient to use for outdoor wear in urban settings.

Simplicity is best

I had been wearing a camouflage Gore-Tex, but it wore out, so I replaced it with the classic black. Since it has a simple and calm design, it's no problem to match it with a suit. Once it gets colder, I plan to wear it with the inner down I purchased together. It’s timeless and looks good on anyone, which is impressive!

Second piece

A few years ago, I bought the same Mountain Light jacket and still cherish it. This season's ivory x black is very nice, and I bought the same size M. It has a trendy, loose silhouette which is different from the previous one and looks stylish. Depending on the inner, I can also wear it in the dead of winter, so I will wear it heavily.

All black!

When using the Mountain Jacket with an L size zip-in zip with down as the inner layer, it felt somewhat tight and heavy. I thought I would prefer the Mountain Light with a bit more room in the body and a lighter fabric feel, and I happened to find this all-black option. The black logo gives it a completely different impression, doesn't it? It's super cool and lovely.

I chose a slightly larger M size considering wearing it over thick sweatshirts or suits. On cold rainy days, I was able to wear it without feeling the chill, and I think it's a product that can be used heavily from autumn to early spring if you adjust the inner layer. The pockets are slightly higher up, but I think there won't be a particular issue once you get used to it. I think it's a piece that is easy to use in various scenes, whether commuting or going out casually.

The logo is not prominent, so it's easy to match with any outfit, which is great. I usually wear size L, but when I tried it on in-store, the L was too baggy in the body and sleeve length, so I purchased size M. Size M has just the right amount of room, so I think it was the right choice.
