Love this jacket. It weighs nothing and the fit is great. I am 5'4" -- I wear a size 6 and a small fit perfect (roomy, but fitted). What a great purchase!

SO WARM! It may look like a light weight jacket but it keeps me just as warm as all my heavy down coats. What I love about it is that when I go shopping, I can be really warm but not have to drag around a bulky heavy coat. This jacket is the best purchase I've made this winter!

Great jacket, I love that it's not bulky at all. I always size up one size with North Face. Perfect for temps above 30 degrees F. Anything below 30 degrees, too cold, you'll need a warmer coat or layer up!

I love the idea of lightweight non bulky warmth, but I am so confused about sizing. I received the medium in cosmic blue and it is huge on me! The sleeves go to my fingertips and I have way too much room in the body but it fits my hips perfectly? Hmm, I am 5'1 and 120 lbs so when I put in my dimensions on the TNF site it recommended a med! If I am paying this much for a coat I don't want to look like I borrowed my hubby's coat! When I tried on the small in the store it was so tight through the hips I could barely zip it! So clueless what body type they are making this coat for I am not overweight nor am I skinny so aggravated with this company! Make coats for petite women with curves, jeez! Back to the search for a winter jacket that actually fits ! This one is going back today! The good news is Zappos is the best at customer service.

I have never put a warm jacket on that is so lightweight. It feels like air on your body. Thank you Zappos for another wonderful shopping experience.

Love, love love this jacket....its a classy color grey, almost pewter colored... super light..just the right kinda warm, down to about 55. Then I would suggest wearing it under a jacket as a warm insulation. Airy. Medium has nice long sleeves.... The jacket is narrow, so if your hips flare out, probably not the best fit for you. I'm slim, 5'8, 132, Long arms, short waisted and it fits great.

I am SO glad I took the plunge and ordered this jacket! I love it. It's great for layering, and the design is flattering. I'm 5'"4, 135 lbs., and ordered the medium so I could fit more bulky sweatshirts or tops underneath. It's a LOVE! Thanks, Zappos!

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
This jacket is absolute perfection. First, it fits perfectly, FOR ME. I'm a somewhat difficult fit, so it may not necessarily be perfect for everyone. I'm 5'8, 150 lb with broad shoulders. That said, I often have to size up to a Large to accommodate my shoulders. However I purchased a Medium in this coat, and it fits my shoulders perfectly, even with a thick sweater underneath. The sleeves are also long enough for my long arms. It is slightly snug on the hips, but I can still zip it all the way up and still move comfortably. This is a great jacket for anything upper 40 degrees or activities in the cold where you don't want to get overheated. I'd say anything under 40, you'll want another coat on top. That's the nice thing about this jacket, you can easily layer on top since it's not bulky. Awesome color here, I'm not sure why it's not with all the other jackets of this kind. An easy purchase, especially on sale.

I bought this little jacket in Mid Grey 2. In a Medium. I am 5'8" , 132 lbs. It fits like a size 10. LOVE it! So comfortable. Nice long sleeves. Good working zipper. I've even folded it up in it's own pocket and thrown it in my backpack for a day hike, just in case I needed another layer. It's so soft and snuggly. I would say this jacket is warm down to about 55 degrees, after that, I need to throw another layer on top of it. Still love it. I'm going to buy another while they are on sale. Awesome little jacket or liner.

Crazy warm. I can wear a tank under this and be warm in the 20s. It's nuts how lightweight this is while still being toasty! I am a 4 and bought the small but could have gone XS if I wanted to weight for the exchange, but I am impatient so I'll be keeping the small. It's big but not enough to look bulky or unflattering. Officially a Thermoball believer!

Great color and fit. Stylish and warm. I ditched the heavy peacoat and now only wear this. Light as a feather.

Incredible customer service. I purchased this jacket and mistakenly had it shipped to our old house because I didn't change the address on my account. I called Zappos and they issued a refund before the owners of the new house returned the jacket! I was able to reorder the jacket for my wife's birthday without waiting for the refund from the incorrect shipment. Incredible customer service! Thank you, Zappos. Oh, and the jacket is amazing and my wife loves it.

This jacket is just right for a multitude of temperatures and weather. The blue color is slightly darker and richer than it appears on my computer. It weighs mere ounces as opposed to a heavy winter coat which weighs pounds. And, it's one of the few, stylish jackets that comes in 2xl. Love it!

Love this jacket! I am a person who can't stand a coat that is tight and bulky so decided to try this one. Best decision all winter! I ordered the blue in size 2X (I am size 16) and am back ordering the gray one. For walking in extreme cold I might wear a heavier coat, but for every day, this is the jacket for me! No more wearing or carrying a heavy, bulky coat in stores! I've also gotten compliments while wearing it!

I bought this jacket before a trip to the Pacific Northwest and northwest. I hiked through national parks and up mountains and it kept me warm but the best thing about thus coat was the nights I went to concerts. I stood in line for hours to get in and I stayed warm. Then inside where it was heated I took it off and folded it into its pocket and put it in my purse so I never had to.check it or tie it around my waist with the sleeves like I usually do. I love love love this coat in every way. It was also bright pink so the people I came with could see me when we got separated in a park or in town.

Love this jacket! the fit is very comfortable - I have wide shoulders and wasn't sure a large would give me enough room but the large fit perfectly. not too tight and not too baggy. Very warm and lightweight. a little on the shiny side but overall excellent.

I am a size 4, therefore ordered a Small in Silver Gray, and Wow, a perfect fit! It has enough room for layering, warm, comfortable, stylish, and light as a cloud. I love it! I would've also ordered a second one in Orange, but not available.

I've been able to wear the jacket on several occasions training for a PCT thru hike this year. Here in south central PA the winter has been well below average temp wise and above average snow wise. I've worn it in temps between 24 and 36 degrees with variable winds, mostly on the low side. I can safely report that any temps at freezing or above there will be no problem with this jacket when paired with a lightweight baselayer. Depending on the activity, you'll be yanking down the zipper to cool off. If the temp is in the 20's, you'll likely start out a bit chilly, especially if the wind is above 7-8 mph. I wore it today for a 6 mile fast paced walk with hills and the temp at 26. I had a midweight poly base layer, not my 1st choice for that but just to see how the jacket performed. At mild 2 I was letting down the zipper a bit if the wind was at my back, and zipping it back up with the wind in my face. I'm sure if I had been carrying a 20 pound pack I would have been warmer quicker. My go-to baselayer will be a midweight merino wool. When paired with this jacket, I feel I'm set for the colder sections of the PCT. In cold rain or snowy wind, I'll add the UL montbell rain jacket. I highly recommend this jacket. By the way, the lack of a pull cord on the hood really isn't a problem since TNF cut the face hole at an able which nicely closes up when zipped all the way.

I find this jacket comfortable down to about 40 degrees, so it isn't meant for serious winter weather. But for mild cold temperatures, this is super light, cute, and comfortable.

Beautiful jacket! Material is somewhat shiny which is a nice change from my other TNF outerwear! I love the diagonal quilting pattern. And Zappos has amazing customer service and lightning fast shipping! Why go anywhere else?

I love this jacket. It is so lightweight but really warm. I live in MN and it keeps me warm even on the really cold days. It runs true to size.
