I recently bought my first North Face winter jacket, coming to the brand from years of wearing Timberland attire. It's wind and water proof, perfect for the Dutch climate. Generally the jacket is very good, except for one important aspect. The collar makes it uncomfortable to wear when the jacket is fully zipped up. It seems that the weight of the hood pulls the collar backwards, jarring it into the front of the neck and chin. The material of the collar in this area is rigid. The unyielding zip surround and lack of padding makes the jacket difficult to wear for long periods. Disappointing, having spent lots of hard earned Euros on it. On the plus side, my posture has improved as the collar forces my head and neck backwards, straightening my back. Didn't know that the jacket came with a silver lining.

Might be your beard that's causing the irritation ;)

I've got one of these jackets, they are sooo heavy. When I wear another jacket I'm like "What a weight off my shoulders". Good winter protection though.
