Description of The North Face Windwall 2 Fleece Jacket - Men's:
The biting fall wind chills to the bone. Wear The North Face Windwall 2 Jacket and protect yourself. The North Face combined a wind-resistant outer layer and a soft, warm fleece interior for weather protection and luxurious comfort. Since the Windwall 2 Jacket doesn't use a membrane like traditional Windstopper fleeces, it lets out sweat to prevent that clammy feeling, So you're comfortable in a wider range of weather conditions..
Bottom Line: For spring or fall adventures, The North Face Windwall Jacket is a lifesaver.
I bought a Windwall 2 a couple months ago so far it has done well in the cold Boston weather. It certainly blocks out the wind and provides a surprisingly good amount of warmth. You can easily wear it alone and be comfortable down to 45 degrees. It is thin enough to be worn a layer for colder temperatures. Overall I would recommend this jacket. Bear in mind that what the other reviews say about the sizing is correct, it is a little bit short and the sleeves are a little long. For a guy who is 5'6" and 150#, the medium fits great and I really don't mind that the sleeves are a bit long.
I'm a 35 year old, 6'2", 250 male. I normally wear 17" neck, 36/37" sleeve dress shirt and a 38x36 dress pant.
I bought the black, XXL from a different vendor online, and it was too big. I returned it but they didn't have the XL in black so I bought one here. (At a better price I might add!)
This jacket, not fleece, runs fairly large; not grossly large but the body is more generous than other North Face fleece/jackets I've come across, a little on the baggy side.
The sleeve length is at least an inch longer than what I feel comfortable wearing but could be helpful when skiing or working with your arms.
The length of the body is great, sitting at about mid-hip.
I was pleasantly surprised that the material was more of a shell material than fleece because it seems as if it'll outlast any fleece I've owned in the past. (Pilling sucks.)
The logos are where you expect them and are bright white.
Conclusion, Buy a size smaller than you normally wear and you should be fine.
You wont be disappointed.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Great jacket, does what it says it will and looks really good. I'm 6'4" and had no problem with the length, fits perfect. Highly recommend this jacket.
