Customer Reviews The North Face City Breeze Rain Jacket

True to the sizing chart. I'm 34A, 5'1" 105lbs and have an athletic build with broader-than-average shoulders. Sizing chart recommended size S and that was perfect. I also had tried the XS, and while the length was better, it was just a bit too snug around the chest if I moved my shoulders back. To play it safe for hiking and casual use in the Seattle area, I stayed with the S so I could add thin layers as needed and still have it be flexible and comfortable. The S is the tiniest bit too big on me compared to the product photos but that's ok. As for functionality: I wore this today in a drizzling and slightly muddy 5mi hike. Mud and rain rolls right off the jacket (it's like magic, no joke).It is also truly midweight and breathable, perfect for my 50-60 degree Fahrenheit hike. It does not feel like a yucky, plastic-y rain jacket. For reference I wore a moisture wicking short sleeve with long sleeve over it, with this jacket on top, and that worked well. Thickness-wise, I think this might be too hot for hiking activity over 70/75 degrees, and too cold for < 40 degrees unless you really layer well, but of course it depends on your comfort level. The reason I love this jacket more than most others I've tried (including a more expensive one from Eddie Bauer) is that in addition to the above, this rain jacket has a very rare adjustable cinch, making the shape a lot more flattering that most raincoats on my petite frame. Also the hood is theperfect fit - it stays on and comes out the perfect amount to keep you dry, but isn't so deep that you can't see through it like the previously mentioned brand. Only minor downsides of this, and hence the 4 of 5 stars: additional chest pocket would be nice. I'd prefer buttons to velcro as that looks better and doesn't get caught on things. Lastly, as another reviewer mentioned, the front zipperis a little hard to use but it's not big enough of an issue that I'd return it. Just gotta jiggle it a bit.

I love this jacket! It has held up in our Pacific Northwest rain. Hood is adjustable, it's lightweight and very comfortable. Looks good too. I am 5'5 and 125 pounds. Bought a medium and it fits perfect. I am able to wear a thicker shirt or even my down vest under it if needed when it's colder out. I highly recommend this raincoat.

It was perfect for my Switzerland trip. The weather in mountain area was hard to predict as it changes so fast from sunny to rainy. I rolled this rain jacket in my backpack in case and it actually saved me any many times whenever the weather suddenly turned raining or chilly. The cream color was beautiful and pretty to wear just for any day as an outer. It didn't have pockets inside and I wish the zipper could be a tiny bit smoother for my taste, but I do think it was overall a very satisfactory purchase.

Nice and long but also stylish . my favorite rain jacket ever and true to size. thanks for another good jacket

Beautiful rain jacket, this is what I want to wear. Happy with it.

Love it

It is a great rain jacket. It keeps you dry no matter how rainy it is.

Perfect!!!

This is the perfect jacket! The fit is great, loose enough to fit a light sweater underneath if I wanted. Totally waterproof and good coverage. Stylish and goes with everything. My only complaint is that it doesn't fold into a packable zipper, which would be so nice for storing/travelling.

Perfect rain jacket - waterproof, velcro and zip front closure, velcro closures around wrists, zippered pockets, cinch waist, bonus made with 100% recycled materials! True to size.

This Jacket is perfect for travel and goes from hikes to dinner still looking great. It has accessible pockets and keeps you both dry and ventilated. It fits true to size and has good quality zippers and snaps.

AWESOME

Great for rain

It's long, so it's good to wear with leggings. It's a bit thick, so it's hot to wear in midsummer. It is windproof and waterproof, and the quality is good. I recommend purchasing this item.

As always, perfect in every way

Extremely happy with this purchase. This rain jacket was exactly what I was looking for - keeps me dry, breathable in the hot weather and stylish.

I really like the length of the rain jacket. I bought a large so I could wear it over sweatshirts etc but I was afraid it might be too big if worn alone but the fit prevents it from looking big and bulky.

This is a great rain jacket. I live in a warm climate. The fabric is great. It's breathable and water repellent and the jacket is flattering. I did size up and I'm glad I did.

This is a great jacket. I took it to Africa for our safari trip. It is lightweight and versatile.

I bought this for Ireland and Scotland, kept me warm and dry! Will definitely purchase this again.

I wear this jacket everywhere and it's perfect for spring. Doesn't get too warm but keeps the rain out, very flattering cut

This is a great light weight rain jacket, it's weightless and I would size up to wear a hoodie underneath. Perfect for spring.

Love this rain coat, I have been looking for a rain coat that didn't have to fit 59 functions for hiking, etc. this rain coat is great for watching youth baseball games, running errands, etc.

I love this jacket! Absolutely love the color.
