I've always owned North Face jackets, and I find this one is a big improvement. It has a great cut—I am 5'11", and the sleeves and jacket length are perfect. The hood is also cut very well; it's the best hood I've found on a jacket, although it is not stowable. I am usually a size 6, and I found a M to be perfect, with enough room underneath for lots of layers (fleece, sweaters, etc). Generally this is an impeccably designed, lightweight, well-fitting jacket perfect for most everything—skiing, backpacking/hiking, bad weather. I do wish it had hand pockets, though.

I've had this jacket for over 5 years and I love it to pieces. It has survived an incredible amount of wear and still looks great. It's warmer and more wind-proof that most other fleeces I've found, and I've worn it both on its own as a cool-weather jacket and under a shell in the winter. I'm a size 6 and 5'11" and a medium is a good fit (sleeves are long enough!!).

Light, comfortable, and attractive. Most importantly, no chafing on long runs!! Very happy.

I've been having problems with chafing sport bras lately, especially when I go on long runs. This one is a winner. No abrasive seams, good breathable material, snug fit--no chafing! Fairly attractive, too. Highly recommended.
