Customer Reviews The North Face Thermoball Eco Jacket

The arms were too short.

Just got a replacement thermoball for my replacement thermoball. This is my second jacket replacement for this purchase. The original purchase was a momentum thermoball that couldn't be fixed due to a faulty zipper. Because the momentum line is no longer available I replaced that jacket w a thermoball jacket. The replacement jacket held up well for a season then the seams around chest started popping. I returned it and it was repaired. Once I got the jacket back upon inspection I immediately noticed the inside seam around the bottom drawstring was snapped and had it repaired again. It sat in the closet all summer, and I wore it only a couple days before the seam on the chest popped again. So here we go with jacket number 3. Hopefully the third time is the charm. It really is a wonderful jacket, I just wish it wasn't doing more traveling than I am.

Described as slim fitting but much too large and puffy around shoulders and arms. Returned.

Product is great ,but fitting is not great,

This was to be my 4th Thermoball jacket and was excited to get a new one. The problem is that the jacket is now cut in the skinny fashion and is way too restrictive in the arms and the torso. Hopefully this is just a fashion cycle that will pass soon.

Does not fit as well as another large NF thermoball coat I purchased last year! I am somewhat disappointed.

Had the coat less than 1 year (late Christmas gift in 2017) and the zipper pull on main zipper popped right off and was lost.

Very lightweight but poor fit(too big) and not warm at all.

I love north face jackets and have been wearing their larges for years (6' 195lbs, lean and athletic). Bought a thermoball in large and it is huge in the body, I could fit a another person in there with me, I look like I'm a sack of potatoes. I went to a store to exchange for a medium but that fits like it's painted onto me. Did their sizing change? I understand I could sinch the waist but it still looks ill fitting. Bummed, it's a nice jacket otherwise. I fear north face is just a brand not cut for my body type anymore?

I have another Northface jacket that's a 2X and it fits and zips perfect. I love the material on this one but its too small to be able to zip it. Very disappointing.

Don't get this jacket for temperatures below 50.

Very Warm and light , but poor breathability

This jacket is leaking feathers on a daily basis.

Received this jacket as a gift. I was looking for a synthetic insulation layer and this seemed perfect. Unfortunately, there are major issues. First, I actually like that the wind can cut through the jacket. If I wanted windproof, I'd pop a shell over this jacket. Very breathable jacket. Dries quickly when wet. It comes in a ton of colors so it feels personal, even when I see this jacket everywhere. Now, the negatives. This jacket has the typical TNF boxy fit. This is cut for tourists (you know the ones) shopping in a mall. Far too much extra material in the stomach area. Additionally, there's something about this jacket that makes it look shabby. Something about the way the material stretches at the baffle stitching and pools at the bottom of each baffle, the jacket looks perpetually soggy. So, it doesn't make the cut as a functional piece in my gear rotation nor does it work as a fashion piece. The concept of this jacket and thermoball excites me. Maybe future updates to the jacket will solve my issues, or maybe I'm just an outlier and everybody else loves it (seems to be that everybody else loves it reading the reviews, but review systems on a first-party website with user provided feedback have their own issues with self-selection, biases, and such). So, high hopes for the future versions but definitely not feeling this jacket right now.

Really wanted my boyfriend to have a nice stylish yet warm jacket for Christmas. Unfortunately, it was too small. He needed a 3XL and they are not available in the stores to try on. So I had to return it.

The jacket is warm, feels soft and light but the sleeve width for the jacket is completely wrong for the fit of the jacket. It needs to be narrower and not so big at the bicep.

Went out searching for a jacket for the winter at Sports Authority and stumbled across this jacket. I was immediately impressed with the texture and warmth and good look of the jacket, bought it on the spot. After I had worn the jacket for no more than 6 hours across 3 days, I noticed the stitching had already started to snag and become loose. Looks nice, feels great, unfortunately poor quality for at least my jacket, hopefully just a fluke.

I so want to like this product. North face has done a fantastic job on the insulation material. Wore just this on a chilly 10F NYC night and I was super warm. But the outer shell is very very poorly built. It started ripping just after 3-4 days. A 15D-1.16OZ shell is no good for a day to day jacket. It just can not sustain day to day wear. I really wish North Face works on the shell.

I had been looking at getting the Patagonia Nano Puff, but then this jacket came out and I decided to go with the Thermoball because it sounded like it would be even better. Not so much. The front zipper was busted and would only unzip half way. The right pocket zipper wouldn't unzip at all. I was able to get the jacket on and the length and arms were a good fit, but the shoulders were a bit wide and large. Overall, it looks nice, but the quality is sub-par. Not what I expected from The North Face. Severely disappointed. I will definitely be taking this back and going with the Nano Puff.

I love North Face Products for my family. Normally my son wears a medium (based on his build). I originally purchased a medium and had to return it because my son's arm length required additional length for his arms. Suggestion: Create a product that accomodates extra long arms -Medium size with longer arm length would be ideal for someone like him. Just a thought. Thank you.

The old thermoball jackets fit great. The new one like the one I purchased are too tight around the middle and the shoulders.

Bought for my Xmas guft

I really wanted to love the jacket it's my first north face product. I really like the fit it fits me perfectly. The only issue I have is the quality of the stitching is very poor I expected a higher standard from them. I own jackets from patigonia and arcteryx I should have just went with a Nano puff or atom lt. It was on sale so I guess you get what you pay for.

The product came dirty from the collar. It looks like it's like dried up sweat or something. Like if someone wore it a lot and then returned it. Very disappointing to be honest.
