I bought this jacket for my girlfriend a few weeks ago. This was her first northface coat, so I wasnt sure what she would like. She gets really cold all the time since she is pretty tiny, so I needed something warm, but lightweight. This was the perfect choice. First, the jacket blocks pretty much all wind, so she never gets cold. Second, its light enough to wear under a shell, but still heavy enough to wear on its own. But, make sure to order a size smaller since it runs a size too big.
This jacket is perfect, except I had to send mine back to get a smaller size. I am usually a Medium and need a Small. I am looking forward to wearing it this fall! North Face is such a quality product!
