If you don't have any desire to learn to ski, there is a fair chance that you don't want to wear a ski jacket--especially if the nearest ski resort is in another state or province. That might be why The North Face created their Gotham Jacket for men. It's a casual, urban-styled down jacket oriented toward urban and suburban winter adventures. The Men's Gotham Jacket features a waterproof and breathable HyVent(TM)-backed nylon dobby shell fabric with plenty of warm 550-fill goose down insulation. The torso coverage is longer than most ski and snowboard jackets, so you enjoy more warmth and weather protection while you're waiting at crosswalks or light rail stations. Because some guys might find the faux fur along the hood a bit too much on milder winter days, The North Face made the trim detachable-stow it away and save it for another cold day in the city.
