    The North Face

    Ventrix Hoodie $420

    Used by: Editor Alistair Hall
    Used for: Seven months

    I’ve practically lived in this 380g insulated jacket for the past seven months and even nearing the end of October, I found myself wearing it at my desk all day. And that’s exactly as TNF would have it – the jacket is designed to never be taken off.

    It has 60g of polyester stretch insulation lined with a perforated fabric which provides ‘dynamic venting’. During activity, the perforations open to increase breathability, but when you’re idle the perforations relax into an overlapping position to trap warm air against the body.
