Company
The North Face is a brand of VF Corporation, a multinational company that collects and manages wind in the world's most famous brands in outdoor sports, jeanswear and sportswear.
The North Face, is engaged in outdoor sports, with a wide range of clothing, accessories and equipment for the hiker. It has therefore focused only on a range cycling, indeed the opposite is true: after having established itself in the field of extreme sports (with backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, etc..) Now approaching the world with a range of bikes, maybe not wide but high-tech.
The Range The North Face
Clothing for men, women and children, in addition to a wide range of accessories for hiking and extreme adventure, this is the range at a glance The North Face. If some leaders are typically "casual" does not lack the technical products more suitable to the most extreme adventure and tested by the greatest athletes in the world. Its range there are various garments that can be used effectively in cycling, from sweaters to jackets, anti wind to finish the backpacks. Among the anti-wind and anti rain jackets famous and popular model is the Hydrogen long sleeves, the jacket being tested, however, is a variant without sleeves and with perforated back. Ideal not to feel cold during the long descents, as well as light jacket to go out early in the morning in summer or when the weather is mild. Like other heads The North Face, is born with the sole purpose of supporting the bike industry, but its characteristics make it a leader and a perfect fit for cycling.
The Hydrogen Jacket Vest
The Hydrogen Jacket Vest is offered in two versions of man and woman. Women are expected to release the white and black, sizes ranging from XS to XL. The jacket is made of woven fabric Nylon Ristop on the front and drilled on the back. The front is a pocket with zip, with inside a string and a hook to secure the best possible mp3. The long zip is covered at the top to prevent abrasion to the chin, while the neck is high and enveloping. The logos are in reflective material to enhance visibility passive. The elastic waist ensures a snug fit to the body thanks to cutting and conforming to the anatomical feminine figure. Weight detected with our equipment is 57 grams in size M.
Road test
Like the jacket Hydrogen also its variant without sleeves is made with great care and precision. The weight is also limited, not extreme as other achievements, it is totally abandons that the head has a pleasant texture, there is never afraid to ruin a moment. The seams and details are perfect, like chest pocket with the clip and lanyard to attach to perfection the mp3. The long zip is used with ease and at its summit a protection avoids any painful contact with chin. The high neck and elastic allow a perfect adhesion of the head to the body, facilitated by the perfect cut female anatomy. Always useful reflective areas. On the move shows the excellent breathability of the head, which completely pierced through the back allows a rapid evacuation of perspiration. The front, however, well protected from the wind, as when one descends from a long climb in the mountains or when you leave in the morning in the summer with the air still cold. Once well-folded it takes up little space and is easily placed in the back pocket of the jersey.
Conclusions
The Hydrogen Vest Jacket has proved a very useful and valuable leader. Crafted with painstaking care, as evidenced by the perfect seams, the carefully selected pieces and fabric quality, has a light weight, but redeems itself with a consistency of the head well above that of other anti-wind jackets are lighter, but much more delicate. Rather than other similar head weight is competitive and valuable. The cut fits the female body and this improves the fit and comfort. Especially surprising the high capacity of perspiration, combined with superior protection of the front of the body from wind and cold. Once well set takes up little space. We therefore feel that a leader who could well find their ideal-use worn over normal shirt when the weather is still mild, early morning in summer, especially at high altitudes, and especially not to make too much lower body temperature in downhill, both on the road bike.
Is suitable for
The jacket seems suitable to all those women susceptible to cold, even in summer, and autumn-spring, when a long-sleeved shirt is too hot and with this short sleeve feels too cold.
Price
The price is about $ 79 on the U.S. market, amply justified by the quality of the item.
