Is the Ridgelite warm enough for cold weather?

No. It is an uninsulated rain shell. Wear a fleece or base layer under it in cold conditions.

Can it be packed into its own pocket?

Yes. The right hand pocket doubles as a stuff sack, so the jacket packs down small for a running vest or daypack.

Is it good for running?

Yes. It is light, breathable and has reflective details, though the thin fabric can feel clammy during hard efforts.

How does it compare with the Patagonia Torrentshell?

The Ridgelite is lighter and more packable. The Torrentshell uses a thicker fabric and feels more durable for everyday hiking.

What sizes does it come in?

It is offered in S, M and XXL in a regular fit. The cut is roomy, so size down if you want a trim layer.

Yes. It has an attached hood with a cinch cord for adjustability.

About the The North Face Women's Ridgelite Waterproof Jacket

The Ridgelite is a lightweight, packable rain shell built for running and fast hiking. It uses a recycled nylon laminate with sealed seams, a hood, reflective details and YKK AquaGuard zippers, so it keeps wind and rain out without bulk. It packs into its own hand pocket and has an adjustable hem and elastic cuffs. It suits runners and hikers who want a just-in-case shell; it is not a warm layer, and rivals like the Patagonia Torrentshell feel burlier while the Ridgelite stays lighter and more packable.
