On Sunday, Mother’s Day, my Mom gave me a jacket. Now, first off, how fucking cool is my Mother, that on her special day, she was giving me a jacket because she didn’t want me getting cold when I bike to work in the morning?

The jacket, a North Face M Nimble Full Zip, is the greatest article of clothing I have ever owned. I always assumed that North Face made a good product. For one, their clothing is priced like quality goods should be; that is, expensive but not over the top expensive. Second, 50 million frat boys and new-age hippies can’t be wrong.

What I didn’t expect was a light, comfortable jacket that keeps me at an ideal temperature at all times. Like my Mother wanted, I wear it while biking to work, and for the past three days, I haven’t removed it the entire day. Normally, my temperature fluctuates like an 18-year old girl’s voice after three Zimas, but I have been able to remain very comfortable, without having to shed layers. (I did take it off for today’s ride however.)

So there it is, my endorsement. If you’re a sweaty dude, or gal, who has a chilly commute, go nab this jacket; it’s well worth it. I am going to be purchasing some more North Face products in the future, I’m sure of it. But if you see me in a polar fleece with shorts and hiking boots, sit me down and punch me in the kisser.
