I’m 5’3 and 116 and ordered size S. The neck area came up way too high and covered up my chin when it was zipped up, and looked silly. Other than that, the fit was ok but was a little snug due to the gathered waist. Couldn’t really fit bulkier styles under it. Not sure if size M would have worked or been too big.

I would where this coat to work when it's cold outside, on weekend events and I am going skiing in February and wondered if this North Face Jacket cold serve as a ski coat, and keep me warm up north in Michigan.

The shell and the plush inside felt cheap from the first touch. Given the price I expected a lot better quality especially from tnf. Is a gift for mom so hope it's enough to keep her warm but I doubt it. It's stylish none the less!

I loved the iridescent color and the faux fur on the hood, but the length just hit in the wrong spot. Had to return.

This feels good on. Usually wear a medium but other reviews said this runs small so I ordered a size up & glad I did...fits beautifully. My complaint is with the faux fur on the hood. All the photos show white in it but it is solid black. Thought it would be fluffier too.

I love the look of this jacket, but the sleeves are very short. I love the look of it so much that I am going to have wristbands added at my local tailor, but for the price that should not be necessary. The other downside is this jacket it super noisy when you walk (sounds like plastic fabric rubbing).

I like the length of the jacket that covers my behind. The medium grey color is beautiful. It is a nice warm jacket. However, here is why I returned the jacket. The sleeves are too long and the fur doesn't not stay in place. I understand that it is a removable fur but when it's on, it should be on. They could have added a few buttons or something so the fur does not flip back and forth. Other qualities of the jacket is good, but didn't love enough to keep it. For reference, I am 5'2"/105pounds and XS is my size.

I am not sure if I am going to keep this jacket or not. It is much more lightweight than I had anticipated it being, especially for the price and for the warmness level it claims to be. I am very petite, 5 feet and appx 110 lbs and I went with the small given previous reviewers. I wanted the jacket to be able to fit over a sweater. The S does fit over a sweater and is still fitted enough to not be bulky or baggy.
Overall, the fit of the jacket is nice but I can't get over how lightweight it feels and I'm questioning how wind proof its going to be. I live in NYC and commute outdoors every day so I need something heavy duty. I am entertaining the idea of keeping this jacket for the warmer (30-40 degrees) winter days. Also, since it is so so lightweight, I might keep it just for the sake of having a jacket to wear to workout classes that can also be shoved into a small cubby or locker.

I love the feel and look of this jacket. Warmth rating is perfect for southern Ontario, especially coming through a good cold snap of -20 or below. My biggest issue is that upon wearing it immediately after purchase I noticed tiny bits of down coming thru the exterior. I've owned this jacket 4 weeks now and am still brushing off feathers. This is not acceptable at this price point imo. The exterior pocket zippers do not operate as smoothly as I would expect which makes the pocket opening feel restrictive.
I do love the look and comfort level. This jacket ends right at my hip which is perfect for me. At 5'9" I wouldn't want the sleeves any shorter.
If this jacket stops puffing out down then I will consider it one of the better jackets I've owned.

Sleeve length too short. I am 5’8, athletic build and ordered the medium. I have a NF Thermoball in size small that fits perfectly. For some reason the sleeves on this jacket run very short. Style and warmth are great, super cute fur trim as well. Just be careful on ordering if you have long arms. I will be returning this item.

I love almost everything about this coat. It's comfortable and good quality. Very warm and stylish. My last NF coat the hood was perfect. This one is really shallow and fits weird. You cannot just pull it up over your head because it's too small and tight (FYO my head is not large). The collar also drive sme crazy and I have to pin it down as it's as high as my ears and gets in the way of my earrings.

Did not like the way it cinched in at the waist.

I use this jacket for every day wear in the Minnesota cold weather but it's simply just not warm enough for me, given that our weather temperatures change so much. It's great for blocking the wind & rainy weather though! I love the furry hood! The zipper and pockets are nice and warm. It fits me overall pretty well in the size I ordered which was a Large but the sleeves seem a little shorter than they should be. Otherwise I would recommend this jacket to anyone ordering it.

I ordered 3 jackets and 2 of them came with cuts in the plastic bag and the jacket. It was a bummer to find out they didn't have anymore of these jackets left to replace it. I feel if I'm paying this much for a jacket then there should be some assurance that it won't leave the warehouse destroyed

This coat is ok. It's very light I was expecting it to be a little heavier for the price I paid. But none the less it is cute.

Coat was disappointing. She is a tall, plus sized tween and I was hoping this would work. She has other North Face jackets in this Ladies Medium that fit fine, bit this one was too tapered in the waist. It fit, sort of--but left no room for anything bulkier than a t-shirt underneath. I think she needs a boxier style, less form fitting style. Also, the lining of the jacket and hood has this splatter gold pattern which just wasn't her taste.
As an aside--what's going on Zappos? Got this stuffed in a bag instead of a box, no receipt. I don't return things often, but now I have to search for a bag/box to send it back because the original packaging gets destroyed when you open it AND I'm still getting charged for shipping on top of it. Quite frankly, I purchase from Zappos because of the return policy and ease of returns. If this is how things are going to be, I can shop anywhere because your returns are as much a pain as any other vendor's. Really disappointed.

I had to purchase a larger size so the sleeve length would be long enough. The sleeves are still too short and Dolly Parton could fill out the chest. The hand pocket zippers suck and the CF zipper gets caught regardless of the ribbon backer on the zipper flap. I wish the hood was removable and the fur trim needs an attachment to keep it back. I receive compliments on the color.

Fit finder recommended an XL, but I had to return it for a XXL because it was too tight across the chest. The XXL is loose elsewhere, but fits where I need it. I have other NF jackets in both L and XL, so I was surprised that I needed a XXL.
