Customer Reviews The North Face Hydrenalite™ Down Short Jacket

Love the jacket

This jacket is so light weight and puffy. And the color is perfect, I normally stick to black but it's very different and that's what caught my eye.

Jacket was soft and fits great

I love the how the women's Hydrenalite Down Jacket fits and looks on me on me. The color is spectacular and vibrant. I own several North Face brand jackets and I'm never disappointed

I purchased the navy as I have been searching for a warm navy jacket. I also own this same exact style in white. I am 5 feet tall so this is perfect for me as it is just short enough but not too short. I like the warmth the jacket provides for me. Upon receiving the jacket, I washed it before wearing and I followed the instructions on the label. No issues. This is my fifth The North Face jacket and that should tell you that I am pleased with the quality of my purchases. I do try and make my purchases when the style I want goes on sale. This doesn't always work to my advantage as the size I want may no longer be available. I've read comments where people say the jacket is thin and I'm really not certain what they mean by that as I don't see that as an issue. I make certain to ready carefully the descriptions that accompany each style so that if I am looking for a certain level of warmth, I will make the right selection. I have several jackets from another retailer that has just entered bankruptcy and those jackets are thin! I also make certain to read the measurements so I am aware of how long the jacket will be and if it will work for my frame. Sleeves are perfect as they are often too long for me, but for this style that is not the case. I've read comments about positioning of The North Face logo or the fact that it is not embroidered on the jacket and I don't understand why this is an issue. If you are not into logos, don't make the purchase! You know it is on their products. I don't need to have lots of layers when wearing this jacket and since I am always cold, this really speaks to the quality of the jacket.

The best down jacket ever. The fit it's just right!

This jacket works perfectly for me. I am only 5 ft tall and the length on this jacket is just right for me. It falls just a bit below my natural waistline. As I am always cold in the winter months, it provides great warmth for me. I live in the northeast. I wanted a navy jacket to add to my collection of The North Face jackets and this color navy is perfect. I had previously purchased the jacket in white. (My collection of jackets total 5 and the styles are varied but this is the first duplicate purchase of the same style). I washed the jacket following the instructions as I always wash my clothing purchases before wearing them. No issues with the washing process. I can adjust the bottom of the jacket to make it as loose or as snug as I would like. I guess the only negative, is that because I am short, the "puffiness" of the jacket is probably not the most flattering look for me. That doesn't deter me. I can accessorize with my hats and scarves and look just fine. I have not had any issues with the "quality" of any of my purchases and I would say that I am not really "rough" on my clothing.

Nice lightweight jacket.

I love the length, color and style of this coat! It's not bulky, and as with other North Face products that I have, it's warm and very well designed!

Quality

So comfy and fits perfectly

I love this jacket. Have worn it in black with hood, and so much more appreciate it sans hood, so I am free to wear a hat or not, scarf or not.

Provides fashion looks and great performance for the price. Unique color, high-quality construction for lightweight warmth.

So soft and down filled

Bought it as a Christmas gift for my wife and she loves it

It's a cute outfit, but the down scent is still strong.

It's exactly what I wanted! Just the right amount of thickness. I'm personally not a huge fan of bulky puffer jackets, so when I saw this one I immediately purchased it. Mars Dust is exactly as pictured.

The jacket is beautiful. Unfortunately, it was not as thick as it appears on line, I work near the lake, so I had to return it.

The jacket is beautiful and what she wanted

Purchased for a family member and they loved it! Will definitely buy a few more for Christmas time!

great jacket, keeps you super warm. referred to a friend and she loved it as well! super worth the money

This jacket is very warm; it is one of my favorites.

Love this jacket, it looks better than the picture.

well, it's not very shaping and the coat looks a little better on the model. It's a little thinner in person. I got white and you can just a bit see the feathers. It's really clean on arrival with no smell. It's okay overall.

This jacket is so stylish and warm. I would prefer it to be a little longer, but overall I love it.
