I own several north face jackets and coat (both down and fleece) and I really like their products. I saw this and it looked like a really stylish alternative to the traditional down north face styles. No reviews posted anywhere so I went ahead and ordered. It is soooo ugly. The black side is very, very, very shiny/wet looking and although the photo makes it look figure-flattering it is dumpy looking on. This one is going straight back!

I own a gazillion pair of Keens. Big fan of the brand. The Zerraport is now my favorite Keen sandal. I have a pair of Newports which are comfy but my feet get hot hot hot. These have a ton of comfort and support but are more open and thus my feet don't overheat. The strapping is genius, not even aware that I have anything on my foot. And the back strap is removable if you want to use it as a slip-on. Great. I take an 8.5 in most street shoes and always a 9 in keen. take a 9 in these same as my other keens.

Got the brown/mint. sooooo cute and comfy - especially for a hefty duty winter snow boot. Lightweight too : ) As with all Keens, order 1/2 size up from your normal or if between two sizes, go to the larger of the two. This is a big winner!

I saw this jacket and had to have it. It is very sleek and figure flattering. Got it in the red lava/shark combo. The contrast stitiching really shows up against the red which makes it fun and funky while the reverse side is a great basic black and equally attractive in its own way - i love the reversible feature. I purchased this for cool to colder fall days as I live in a climate where I have to break out the serious down parka in winter. When things run s/m/l I typically take a medium although sometimes a small (and I'd say I'm usually a size 6-8). I was swimming in the medium and the sleeves were long (I'm 5ft 6in), however I don't intend on wearing bulky layers under this. Since this was the case I went with the small which fit with thin/medium clothing underneath and hugged every curve without being restrictive. I LOVE this jacket.

Wow, I'm in love with these! I'm a size 8.5. I ordered the size 8 and hoped for the best -- perfect fit (so I'd say these run a tad large). I ordered the silver and the brown, not knowing which I would prefer and thinking I'd end up sending one of the colors back. I immediately went head over heels for the silver which is darling and feminine. I like the brown as well, not a stunning as the silver, but I think I may end up keeping them as well simply so I have a dark and light option to go with different outfits. These are light as a feather with super soft straps and really nice cushioning for such a thin sole. The gladiator look is so hot right now and I think these are a very reasonably priced, super duper darling and ultra comfy way to stay on top of this trend!

All in all this is a really nice jacket. I'm a big fan of North Face and own several jackets and vests for various temps and conditions. What I had yet to find, however, was a warm down jacket that was also figure-flattering and didn't make me look like a giant marshmallow. This jacket is it. It is very stylish and has a nice feminine shape. It is warm but not uber-warm (I'll pull out my north face metropolis for the really tough temps as that has a down hood and comes to my knees). But for "typical" cold midwest winters this is quite cozy. The neck comes up really high, which I like, but is a bit stiff but I'm willing to put up with it. Also the down jacket underneath is cute on it's own (also flattering) but more of a lightweight "down sweater" type rather than a hefty duty down jacket. The hood is strictly for rain/snow and doesn't provide any warmth. I got the black which looks great.

This jacket is super. Sooo light, soft and unrestrictive. Nice and warm. Nice fit -- not too puffy. Grab it and go!

Love this coat. So light and unrestrictive that you don't even know you're wearing it. Except for the fact that is is nice and warm. Very sleek and stylish looking -- no marshmallow puffer here. Brownie is a lovely color. Hood is great and not dorky looking. Very happy with this coat!
