    Great Answer

    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    On One Hand: It's a Great Jacket

    There are many styles of Hyvent Ski Jackets by North Face. The "Windwall" is a moderately priced jacket at around $250. It has a waterproof outer shell for when it rains and a fleece inner lining, which together with the breathable shell allows sweat to evaporate. For really cold days, there is a removable inner fleece jacket. It is an extremely well made, comfortable jacket.

    On the Other: It Can be too Hot

    The Hyvent jacket with all of its accessories is very warm. If you are skiing, snowboarding or hiking on a warm day, you can overheat if you don't understand the venting system.

    Bottom Line

    With Hyvent jackets, you can simply buy a waterproof shell or a ski jacket with many options. All of them have zip vents to bleed off excess heat, so when you know how to use them, you will not be too warm. Ralph Childs, a tele-skier from Malone, N.Y., who skis White Face Mountain near Lake Placid, says that his Hyvent Ski Jacket is fantastic at 20 degrees below zero or at 50 degrees.
