Of course, now I never zip it in because that kills off some of your inside pockets. Seconded - I had an cheapo fleece jacket when I got a priced down NF parka. I was disappointed to find it had a liner zipper built into it, and resolved to cut the waseful zipper out. Unfortunately I tried my existing fleece and it fit, so while I've never zipped it into the parka, I've been hesitant to cut the unused parka liner zipper out, in case there was ever a time when using a zip-in liner made sense. I can't think of any such, but YMMV. Apparently the zipper is fairly common sized. |

Thirded - my Patagucci and North Face fleeces will zip into either of my Marmot shells (although neither is a perfect fit). But why bother? All that does, IMHO, is give you a cold stripe down the front of your torso (where the shell zips together, with no fleece beneath). Not zipping them together gives me more flexibility for adjusting insulation and ventilation, and allows both layers to hang more naturally. The only downside is that I have to zip each layer separately, which is negligible as inconveniences go. bw |

Zip-in fleece for North Face parka's
I was looking for the same thing for my Mt Light. While searching the WEB I
found an online store, The Sports Basement that has last year and previous year North Face apparel at nice discounts. I ended up buying the Salathe Fleese and it works perfectly. The Salathe has large cloth slots on the inside that i use to carry water bottles and such. I have had it for 2 season now and am very pleased. I have included the URL for your convenience: http://www.sportsbasement.com http://www.sportsbasement.com/jump.j...ProductID=5389 Jay "voice3" wrote in message k.net...

In k.net,
voice3 typed: Does anyone know if there are any off brand fleeces that will zip into North Face Parka's? Thanks, Matt ****, the 300 wt Northface fleece I just bought wouldn't zip into my NF parka. Lesson: Wear the parka into the store and try the zippers. The only thing missing from off-brand is the little snap loop that fastens the sleeves into the parka. A seamstress could hook you up with some however. I happen to know a good one. http://www.specialtyoutdoors.com Mike |
