Customer Reviews The North Face Osito 2 Jacket

It was soft and lovely at first. After wearing for a few months and a few washes, the pile is flat and looks old and dirty. The material around the wrists is not soft anymore and the elastic is coming apart. Overall disappointment especially for price.

I have two others from last year and they fit so nice! this ne I just ordered has small pocket openings and the opening at the wrist is too tiny!

This jacket was a xmas gift from santa to my daughter. You can imagine the look of joy on her face when she opened the jacket and proceeds to try it on. Only to find a high hole in the upper shoulder seam. You could fit 4 adult fingers through this hole!! Distraught and asking why santa sent her a present with a hugh hole in it was not what I was expecting on xmas morning. I made up a lie like any parent would considering the circumstances and sending back the jacket for a new one. I've learned a valuable lesson to inspect each article of clothing even if it comes from a reputable company. Hopefully the new jacket will be fully intact.

It's soft and fuzzy, but Northface is not full size women friendly. I wear 2X in a lot of things, but this 3X is very snug.

North face team, I want to start off by saying that I'm a huge North Face fan. Not only have a purchased quite the load of North Face items including fleece sweaters, windbreakers, backpacks and even camping car, but I have also purchased your products as gifts for others because I am very satisfied with the quality of North Face products. However, I cant say the same about a jacket I received for Christmas 2 years ago from my boyfriend, which I believe is your Women's Osito 2 Jacket. After putting it away for a year, I decided to wear it again this winter season, and I remember why I had stopped wearing it. The amount that this jacket has shed has been incredible. I have tried lint rolling, pulling off the loss hairs, washing and there still seems to be fuzz which comes off the jacket and gets on my car seat, jeans, backpack etc each time I'm wearing it. I'm not sure if this is a common problem with the jacket or the one that I personally own. If it is just my own jacket, I'd be satisfied with the same exact replacement as long as it does not have this shedding problem. Please let me know what you guys can do. Best, Monica

Really too small and somewhat heavier than desired.

I've repurchased this jacket several times over the years, and this year I am sadly disappointed in it. The rabbit grey is a beautiful color and I love how the jacket feels, but it leaves behind SO MUCH FUZZ on literally every single thing it touches. I drove my car for about 5 minutes with it on and the fuzz was covering my seat belt. It's not fun to pick little fuzz off of everything it comes in contact with. Returned this jacket and hoping the next one I buy is better :(

I returned this item because it made me look huge and I"m only 110 pounds it was a boxy fit and the color was strange.. very bright and greenish.. not like the picture at all.

I got this jacket and put it on and it was way too big. I order a XL by your what is your size ( asked your height, weight and age and other things)it was so far off my normal size. I saw you have a size chart for women and found my right size by it. Returned the jacket for my money back.

I had to return this fleece jacket due to the fit. The sleeves are really long and the shoulders are big. I am lean with broad shoulders and long average length arms. I fit perfectly in the hooded version and wear it constantly so I was sad that this one did not work out.

very upset that this product sheds so much even after washing. Daughter will not even wear this now because of all of the shedding and the mess it left on her clothes and my car.

Unfortunately, I was only looking for one specific color when it came to jackets (powder blue) for my step-daughter for Christmas. This was the only jacket with the perfect color on the site, so I didn't have much variety to choose from. The jacket is nice, I wasn't expecting the fabric to look so much like shiny, faux fur. But honestly, the color was all I cared about.

Originally bought a child's medium for my granddaughter(10) because it said runs big. It must have been for a toddler it was so small Then I bought an adult small and it was way too big. Spending a fortune sending back all the wrong sizes. I guess we will have to shop at a brick and mortar store

don't buy

I read at least 15 reviews and only one person commented on shedding. I checked for the before purchasing and did not feel it would shed. But, when I wore it in my car, the seatbelt strap rubbed the fleece off and it got all over my pants, gloves and ended up on my black carpet. What a mess! I won't be able to wear it in the car? I am hoping after it's washed it won't be a problem.

Although the coat is nice and warm, there are little black fuzzies all over my car and clothes. I own 7 northface coats. This one is my least favorite!

My mom has this jacket and sheds so much! But if you do purchase a Osito jacket (in KOKOMO GREEN), you can only wash it using some kind of powder detergent, and not a liquid detergent because it could mess up the jacket. And I have the same style jacket but in blue (haven't seen the kind of blue that I have, much be discontinued) and it doesn't shed at all.

Second Osito jacket owned. First was 5 star, this one pilled everywhere, and I mean everywhere. My car, my hair, my clothes, washed jacket hoping to stop, did not. I have to carry a jumbo lint brush with me whenever I wear this jacket. Love love love the Osito but this jacket does not love me.

I wanted to wear this jacket to work everyday. I chose blue because I wear black scrubs everyday to work. Oh my, this jacket sheds like crazy all over my uniform. I have to use a lint brush as soon as I get to work. I tried washing it according to the directions, inside out, hoping this would help..... So far, still shedding. Makes me sad I spent the money. Or I guess I should have bought a dark color?????

I bought this jacket with some money i had recived from Chrstmas. I will say it it not my best purches. It leaves black fuzzy all over my clothing. The outer fleece got matted. it doesnt keep me very warm in the winter and the sleeves need to be longer. i do like the style and comfort of it overall though. i have written to the company months ago but did not hear anything back. i would like to get a refund if i could because i regret ever buying this product.

I have had this jacket for almost a year. But, as I work from home it barely sees much wear. Despite following all of the washing instructions, it shed for the first 6 months. Now it is all matted on the sleeves and across the chest, where your seatbelt goes, probably because my seatbelt is still covered in fuzz. Not at all the quality I expected for this product. I will go back to buying much cheaper but similar products from Columbia that I don't care if I have to replace yearly.

I bought the hot pink Women's Osito fleece jacket last Christmas. I love North face jackets. However, a huge issue for me is that this fleece is VERY fuzzy, and sheds fuzz like crazy. When I wear it in the car, fuzz ends up all over the inside of the seat belt, on the seat, and on my husband. He doesn't wear pink, so he doesn't appreciate the pink fuzz. If I wear it at home, I have to wipe the fuzz off of whatever chair I was sitting in. After several washings, it is still shedding pink fuzz everywhere. The Osito looks nice, and it fits well throughout the body and sleeve length, but the collar won't fold down and tends to fold under and rub your neck. The cuffs on the sleeve are too thin as well and rather uncomfortable. I do not recommend the Osito to anyone, unless you like leaving a trail of fuzz everywhere you've been..

I loved how this fleece looked and felt (it is so soft!) when I opened the box, but when I first wore it, it left black fuzz balls everywhere, all over my car seats, seat belts, my purse, my hubby, everywhere! So I thought maybe washing it would help and get all the fuzz off, but it was still pretty bad even after washing, so I had to return it.

Disappointed with this jacket & had to return for another product. I have always been satisfied with everything from Northface but unfortunately, this didn't work for me.

THE JACKET ALMOST LOOKS A LITTLE BROWN. MY GRANDDAUGHTER WANTED A BLACK JACKET. IF IT WAS FOR ME I WOULD HAVE KEPT IT. BUT WHEN KIDS SET THEIR MIND ON SOMETHING. NEED I SAY MORE. THATS THE REASON I SHOP AT THIS SITE. THEY ARE SO WILLING TO MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY.
