The North Face Free Thinker Jacket - Review

  • 2014-01-20 11:30:09

    The North Face Free Thinker Jacket ReviewThe Free Thinker is an exceptional jacket for the harsh mountain environments it was designed to excel in. Finding faults in the jacket is very difficult.

    An built-in powder skirt, very well articulated helmet-compatible hood, classic colours and incredible attention to detail make the Free Thinker one of the best mountain-sports shells on the market (in this reviewers opinon).

    Check below for a few more up-close-and-personal pics of the Freethinker jakcet.
