I really love this top! I haven't experienced any of the problems that the first three reviewers had. I washed it permanent press, cold water and dried it the dryer til completely dry, perfect!
Very comfortable and sooooo stylish!

I bought this poncho for running errands on the weekend, walking the dogs or going to the gym. I will advise that it runs large. I have a petite figure, 5'2, 135 lbs, and usually wear M in Northface Jackets and Outerwear. I used the Fit Finder and it recommended a S/M. I was swimming in this size. I've exchanged for the smaller XS/S sizing. Great quality product!

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
I adore this poncho. The style is very modern and I get tons of compliments. It's very shapeless and boxy so if you don't like that, don't get it, but it looks very chic with black leggings or skinny jeans. The fabric is lightweight and a little delicate - I wore a backback all day walking around NYC and it pilled one pill where the zipper was rubbing against it, but I consider that my fault. I haven't tried washing it, but it did get rained on and is still good as new. I would wash cold as recommended and lay out to dry to be safe, as it is man-made material.

I'm not a small person; in fact while I love Northface I must shop their extended sizes to find the fit I need. Always look for related fits and something out of the ordinary in style. Saw this poncho and thought I would give it a try even though the sizing is L/XL. It's absolutely phenomenal! Not only is it big enough I can put an extra layer on underneath but it's also long enough to cover my very generous stomach and rear end. I initially bought the gray and got tons of compliments on it. Just bought the garnet. Washes and looks brand new. My daughter, also larger, also bought the garnet so it's styling is great for multiple generations. Hope they will bring spring colors to the mix because I know I would buy two or more...Highly recommend, especially for your larger customer.

I've been looking to update my wardrobe for Fall/Winter to a more minimal/effortless style and this fits the bill. It's probably meant for a very casual attire but I'm wearing heels with it and it's still off the hook! If you like sleek with some edge, this is a must. On top of it, it's comfy and nice piece to layer on the chilly days.

Such an easy, fun piece to wear. My brother and his friend tried and on and loved it too---really! The fabric drapes well and is the perfect weight.
I think I may get another color!

The layering piece you seem to grab first because it's the perfect weight, soft and magically works with everything it's paired with? This might be it.
Yes, there is a lot of fabric going on here but it is a poncho. Fortunately, it's not overwhelming for a petite or short frame. The cut and drape of the fabric provides some definition and the taped him makes it look neat.
I ordered the deep garnet red and it is gorgeous.

I like it. It is very comfortable and the material is great. But it is HUGE. I am almost always a small in most brands, and either a small/medium in North Face. This is gigantic on me. For reference I am 5' 4", 125 pounds. I am curvy but have a small frame. This fit so strange on me. Like a tent. I'm keeping it, half because it's nice for comfy clothes and half because I'm too lazy to send it back. But buyer beware, if you are petite or small framed, this fits a bit strange. Still gave it 4 stars though, because I expect it would look more flattering on someone taller/fuller.

I have the Slacker Poncho zip up/hoodie in a Large and this was much bigger. I wasn't sure of the size (should have gone smaller) though I'm unsure as to whether the forearms would have fit. It's a comfortable top but not figure flattering. Hides a post-baby belly quite well though.

I love this article. I wear it around the house and out for short walks with my dog. I would qualify it as Athleisure. Its comfortable and roomy.

I really love this poncho. It looks great, nice and roomy for air travel. I will say my biggest complaint about it is the sleeves are so tight that you can't even push them up when you are washing your hands. Also, forget about wearing something with sleeves under this. I have to wear a tank top or sleeveless top under this. I have thin arms and wrists, too. sometimes I come close to wanting to cut the wrist bands off this thing. BUT aside from that, I love the look and it is nice and warm on the flights. the collar can be pulled up high to cover your neck too.

This pooch is massive. I am always between a LG or XL and could have worn a small in this. The green color is so pretty. Love the cowl neck.

Love the fit and the style, love the slits on the sides. I got so many compliments when I wore it people thought it was lululemon. I wish it was a little warmer or lined with fleece. The arms fit to tight to where you can't wear a long sleeve shirt underneath.

I loved the look/design of the poncho and ordered my usual XS size but it fits more like a S and for a piece that's already loose-fitting and baggy, being too oversized meant that it had to go back. If it came in an XXS/XS, I'd re-purchase it again and wear it all of the time!

Pay close attention to this one. It is a PONCHO. The photo does not accurately show that this item (in M/L) is 28" wide!!!! There is no shape to the garment. Won't order smaller because the sleeves on this one are the perfect length. (Sleeves are NOT as long as those on the model.)
The hem of the burnt olive green is piped in black. However, the sleeves are piped in a couple of shades darker than the actual garment! I find that odd.
The North Face logo on the back shoulder is some sort of sticky label and not embroidered, BUT the garment is beautifully made. Nice top-stitching, really cozy, comfy fabric. It's warm, but you'll definitely need to wear something under it since the body is so huge.
Despite being a tad disappointed in the way the garment is cut (so wide), I am keeping it. The color and the craftsmanship of this contemporary North Face garment will be fun to take on ski trips.

Love this sweatshirt! It has an oversized fit as described, but sizing is appropriate to this style of fit. So comfortable & cute. Get a lot of compliments on it, and I could live in it! The green is much lighter then it appears on line, but it is still a pretty earthy tone.

I love this poncho. I live in athleisure wear, and this is a staple in my wardrobe. It is comfortable and flattering on, and I have a short stature at 5' 2". The reason is doesn't get 5 stars is because it is not something that will keep you warm in the Winter. I wear it under a heavy North Face jacket, because this is not for the cold weather. The fabric also seems to be pilling after washes. But overall, I am very happy with this purchase.
