The North Face La Fonda Down Jacket - Women's - 2008
A snap-back powder skirt and water-resistant fabric in The North Face Women’s La Fonda Down Jacket mean you can wear this fashion piece on the slopes and around town. The 600-fill down keeps you from shivering on frigid winter days, and a detachable faux fur trim on the hood adds Eskimo style to this puffy. Internal Lycra cuffs add an extra layer between your jacket, mittens, and wrists, and full Underarm zips come in handy when you venture into the park.
Bottom Line: A stylin’ puffy for the powder and the après-ski pubs.

What is the difference between this jacket and the North Face Tempest Down Jacket?
Flag
They are very similar jackets technically. The tempest is more waterproof than the la fonda. The styling is a bit different (especially pertaining to the pockets) and the tempest has an avalanche locator. The La Fonda is also longer in the torso. Other than that, it just kind of depends which one you think looks better.

i wound up getting this in another color, but it's a fabulous jacket, an environment more than a coat. and very warm in cold and blustery NYC.

Great Jacket. More dressy than your traditional winter coat. Very warm and not bulky. Would buy again in a minute!

The model, the La Fonda, is a couple inches longer in the torso and has a couple more pockets (bicep, double entry front).

Daughter is considering this jacket for downhill skiing. She's is tall but thin and doesn't like jackets that "are too poofy." Any thoughts on this jacket?
Flag
This will work just fine. No "too" poofy, but it is a "little" poofy.
Flag
how do you clean these down jackets? Ifound out that the oil from the feathers get all over thejacket if you dry clean or wash.......

I have had good luck with the Nikwax for Down that Backcountry sells. Just search Nikwax and look for the one for down.
