Customer Reviews The North Face Shelbe Raschel Hoodie

A bit on the lighter side, but I like that it's not too bulky.

I bought the Shelbe in Wasabi green. Currently I have one from 2017 which has been worn every day for 9 months of the year, on my way to and from exercise. They are fairly warm, and block the wind extremely well. During the colder months I would definitely be wearing a puffer jacket over the top if I was going to be outside for an extended period of time. I'm 176cm tall and 55kg. The size extra small fitted well everywhere except across the shoulders, so had to size up to a small. This new 2022 version is made of a different fabric exterior - the 2017 one has a very finely knitted jersey fabric, but the new one is super synthetic (presumably for the DWR finish). I hate the noisy swishing sound the synthetic exterior makes. However, I do like how long the body and sleeves are, and that it is slightly longer in the back. No doubt this Shelbe will get a lot of use, I love the bright colour, but don't like the noisy fabric.

I just purchased my second ShelbeI Raschel. I went one size up for more room. Quality is still there however I was disappointed that the logo was not embroidered like the first one I bought seven years ago.

I love this product. The quality of this brand exceeds my expectations - the jacket is super-soft and light weight and I will be using it a lot. The reason for only 4 stars is that it appears to run a bit small (I am a M on most styles and this feels a bit snug) and most importantly, the logo in the picture looks black-on-black and the jacket I received has a bright pink logo on the front/chest and a breast cancer pink sign on the sleeve (which is what I liked and reason for buying the black pink combo style). While I can live with this, I would have preferred it black.

I like the jacket minus the shallow pockets and cheap zipper. My phone fell right out and broke.

I Love this jacket I have it in different colors.

color is nice but this was a gift for someone else. in person its a lot more pink toned.

I wear this as a jacket, but only when I'm wearing a sweater underneath. This is not good for Vancouver, Canada weather; You would need to wear like 2-3 layers underneath to stay warm. If the temperature drops to 5 or below, you will freeze. The quality is really good, but really thin, so again, not the best for Vancouver temperature. Other than that, I get a lot of compliments on the look and how sleek it is. This is definitely something to wear underneath a bigger, warmer jacket though!

I purchased the hoodie but it was too big, exchanged for a smaller size then it was too small. Overall good hoodie just the size did not work for me.

I really like this jacket and will be keeping it, but I definitely struggled with the fit. I normally wear a M or L, but I needed an XL in this. The L was skin-tight and while the XL fits my body well, it's a bit too baggy in the arms since I'm on the shorter side (5'3"). Despite the issues with the fit, I absolutely love the material, warmth, and design of this jacket. The interior is so, so cozy, and the hood is perfect. I've been wearing the same beloved Denali for years, and this style will be replacing it.

I use this as a daily jacket during harsh arctic summer/fall days. I love the fact that the outer shell is similar to the TNF Apex Bionic and the lining is warm enough not to need a base layer. The only thing i would add to it is sleeve straps. Great jacket overall!

This jacket was exactly what I was looking for. It is beautiful and good quality just like you would expect from north face.

I bought this jacket to replace my 10 year old Mountain Hardwear soft shell water repellant lined jacket. It's the closest I could find made for women. I'm on the edge of being petite so I usually go with regular sizes, as I did with this jacket. > The cuffs don't have an adjuster so I rolled a cuff. > The waist doesn't have a cinch at the bottom so I won't be wearing it in the garden or barn. The tail is a but longer, which I like, but without the cinch it isn't secure when working. In everyday wear, the wind blows up under because of fit (see next point). > The bust is snug even after sizing up. The Large originally fit better everywhere except the bust. I returned & sized up to XL for fear of busting the zipper at the first minute of actual outdoor work. Now it fits kind of like a babydoll shirt - snug on bust, roomy on belly. + Love the teddy bear lining. + Love the outside water resistant fabric. It doesn't feel like the typical soft shell jacket. +It's light weight & not thick or bulky, allowing for a feminine look. + The arms are lined so I can wear a tshirt or blouse under it & feel cozy. Overall, I like that this jacket is presentable enough to wear to the office and versatile enough to show up at the playground & be active with my children.

Jacket purchased as a gift. Recipient loves the jacket's multi-use capability(Wisconsin weather). Purchased the slate rose color to match her shoes.

I like this coat a lot. It's been great for cooler spring mornings in New Hampshire. I did purchase a medium (am typically a small), and probably should have exchanged for a small. It has a nice warm lining on the inside that makes the medium look a little bulky. Overall a really nice coat.

I love this jacket. It is the second one I've purchased and it holds up really well. It is lightweight but still very warm and does an excellent job of keeping the wind out. My only complaint is the sizing. It runs very small. I had to size up to a large even though I am a solid medium in just about all other clothing I own. And the large is still a little too small in the torso circumference for my liking.

Love the lining but not so crazy about the repellent jacket. My last North Face jacket that was stolen had same lining but the the outside had more of a texture feel. I was looking for that coat as a replacement. .

Good product, well made. Stays warm in windy conditions.

Great jacket for the fickle spring weather in New England. Removing one star because it's very fitted. I got my usual size medium and could have sized up for a more relaxed fit and room for layers. Otherwise this jacket is perfect. Stretchy, wind resistant, and the fleece lining is so soft and warm. I can wear a t-shirt underneath and still be cozy on chilly morning walks. The Monterey Blue Heather color is beautiful.

Light and warm. Love the mauve color, one star deducted because the opening of sleeves a little tight. Otherwise everything is perfect.

Great color, somewhat warm for the most part. This is a fall/spring jacket. I wore this when it was 40-ish degrees and wet-cold, and I still got pretty cold.

More for outdorors.

Soft and comfortable on the inside and is pretty warm for it being a thinner styled jacket. It is very warm especially with a sweatshirt of some kind underneath. (I got a medium and I'm 107 pounds and 5"5 with a slim build).

Disappointed

I love the fit and the look and of the hood I would recommend this jacket :)
