Is the Monte Bre Triclimate 2 warm enough for winter?

With the liner zipped in it handles cold, wet days and mild winters. For freezing temperatures, add a fleece or sweater underneath.

Can I wear the shell and liner separately?

Yes. The insulated liner zips out and works as a standalone light jacket, and the shell works alone as a rain jacket.

The shell uses DryVent fabric, which is waterproof and breathable, with a hood for rain. Seams are the weak point in long downpours, so re-treat the shell over time.

It runs roomy to allow layering. If you want a closer fit, size down.

How does it compare with a single rain shell?

It is heavier and bulkier, but you get an insulated liner for cold days instead of needing a separate puffy.

Our take on the The North Face Monte Bre Triclimate 2 Men Black Hooded Jacket

The Monte Bre Triclimate 2 is a men's three-in-one jacket: a waterproof, breathable DryVent shell with a hood, plus a removable insulated liner that zips in for cold days. Wear the shell alone in wet, mild weather, the liner alone as a light puffy, or both together for winter. It sits in The North Face's value triclimate line, so it is heavier and less refined than the Summit Series shells but covers more conditions than a single-layer rain jacket. It suits commuters, hikers and travelers who want one jacket for rain and cold.
