North Face L3 Summit Hoodie

[carl v]

Hi all,

Looking for any experience with the TNF L3 Summit Hoodie. Outdoorgearlab is very positive, https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/clothing-mens/down-jacket/the-north-face-summit-l3-hoody. Can anybody confirm this from experience?

tnx!

Carl,

I have experience with the jacket that the Outdoor Gear Lab review said was the same warmth; the FF EOS.  I also have experience of lab thermal testing most competitive jackets to the L3 Summit Hoodie.

Based on 800 fill providing the same warmth as the 900 fill EOS and TNF limited specs, we know the following:

L3 Summit Hoodie

Weight: 12.8 oz (M)

FP: 800

Iclo: 2.65 Iclo

TN Camp Chores: 31F

 

FF EOS

Weight: 10.6 oz (M)

FP: 900

Iclo: 2.65 Iclo

TN Camp Chores: 31F

 

Montbell Plasma 1000 Alpine Down Parka

Weight: 8.4 oz (M)

FP: 1000

Iclo: 2.59 Iclo

TN Camp Chores: 29F

I made a mistake in my prior post and can’t edit it. The Thermo-Neutral Camp Chores temp for 2.65 Iclo is 28F.
