This is an iconic, highly sought-after vintage early-2000s The North Face Summit Series Mountain Guide technical shell jacket. The exterior shell fabric remains in great, vibrant cosmetic condition with exceptional color. The main zippers and overall exterior structure are robust and fully functional.
Because this is a vintage mountaineering piece that saw authentic use, it does have several common age-related interior flaws. Please review these details and the photos carefully before purchasing:
* **Hood Interior:** There is a minor cigarette burn hole located strictly on the inner lining fabric of the hood (completely invisible from the outside when worn). * **Pockets:** The internal lining fabric inside both handwarmer pockets has structural tearing/rips. * **Elastic Shock Cords:** The internal elastic adjustment bands have stretched out and thinned over time due to age. * **Powder Waist Skirt:** The rubberized grip/elastic strip along the interior powder skirt has dry-rotted and degraded, causing portions of it to flake away or go missing. * **Zipper Pulls:** A few of the small plastic end-caps are missing from the corded zipper pull strings.
Despite these internal project quirks, the jacket is structurally solid on the outside and offers a legendary retro techwear look. Perfect for collectors or anyone looking for a rugged classic.
