AMAZING FEEL

Rating:*****
I haven't bought this jacket yet, but have tried it on a few times at the North Face store in hope to buy it soon. But wow, this jacket is soo comfortable on the inside. Very soft, and warm inside unlike a lot of the other North Face jackets where it's really stiff and you can't help but be annoyed by the pit vents that crawl up your armpits...Highly recommended for comfort.

Perfect

Rating:*****
This is a jacket for all winter long. Single shell jacket, so you dont have to mess with layers. Perfect for the New England winters. Warm enough for the coldest days, and will keep you dry. Don't be fooled if it looks light weight. The hood removes with ease. And stylish enough for anywhere. Great Buy! My wife loves it.

Great Jacket!

Rating:*****
This is a great jacket that provides warmth and it is light, not like some jackets that can have a lot of bulk. To me it runs on the small side especially if you have a lighter layer underneath, you might want to size up.

Solid overall

Rating:*****
Bought it for the wife for Christmas. She loves it and keeps her warm waiting for the train north of Boston in temperatures that can be as low as 10 degrees on any day of the week.

Nice fit but meant for spring or autumn weathers only

Rating:****
Good: Light, nice fit. Bad: Meant for spring/autumn(50F to 65F). Not useful for cold temperatures.
