Expert Reviews

• This jacket can be worn on its own, as an under layer or an outer shell, depending on your activity.
• Windproof and breathable.
• Zippered pockets will fit a smartphone.
• Women-specific cut that provides performance and style.
• The North Face’s proprietary insulation system dumps heat while you are moving and holds it in when you stop – no need to immediately de-layer or re-layer when you stop for a snack.
• Very functional and attractive.
• Sleeves are cut long.
• The ventilation design makes this jacket very versatile for aerobic and not so active pursuits, as well as varying temperatures and types of weather.
• The North Face’s unique “laser perforation” insulation system works, so you don’t overheat or get cold.
• While the tiny perforations cannot be observed in action, wearers feel the jacket breathing and keeping them warm as needed.
• Soft, stretchy and comfortable.
• While not waterproof, the jacket repels water in a drizzle, and the construction prevents water from getting through the inner layers.

User Reviews

• Not cheap.
• There is no loop to hang the jacket.

Expert Reviews

• Not as packable as down.
• While the hood fits over a helmet, it cannot be cinched tighter.
• Although this jacket can be worn on its own, the outer fabric is not as tough as a hard shell.
• While there is a drawstring at the hem, a cinchable hood would keep you warmer.
