Why do shoppers love it?
It’s not made for frigid temperatures, but it is designed to keep you warm and protect you from moisture when the temperatures get noticeably cooler. Perfect for fall and spring, and the occasional winter day, this full-zip jacket acts as a middle ground between a sweater and a heavy winter coat — the ideal layering piece.
Made from 93% recycled polyester and elastane, the jacket has a stretchy fleece fabric that moves with your body and doesn’t feel restrictive. The fabric has a water-repellent finish to keep moisture from saturating and permeating it, leaving you nice and dry. The interior of the jacket has a brushed back for extra warmth, as well as a double-layer stand collar to block out wind.
Other features include set-in sleeves, an internal draft flap, and a bonded secure patch chest pocket perfect for storing small, important items. The sleeves have elastic-bound cuffs for a secure but adjustable fit, and the jacket has reverse-coil zipper hand pockets. As with all The North Face clothing, the iconic logo is heat-transferred on the chest pocket and the back-right shoulder. Available in two colors, the jacket has a standard but flattering fit, and it falls right along the hips on most figures.
