While The North Face designers were busy giving the Women's K Jacket around-town style, they decided to add fully seam-taped, waterproof breathable HyVent fabric for rain protection. You never know when you might encounter a total downpour on your way to meet friends for lunch. The North Face used a below-the-hip cut to give you a little extra coverage, and you can remove the K Jacket's hood when there's no threat of rain. Drop your iPod into the internal media pocket, crank up your favorite playlist, and head into town.
Bottom Line: Bring trail-ready rain protection to the city with The North Face K Jacket.
I love this jacket and got so many compliments. I juggled between the small and the medium, I'm 5'3" 113lbs. I finally decided upon the Small because it was a bit more flattering on me. I like how you can zip up on the bottom in case it's too snug when sitting.
What is the length of this jacket? Compared to TNF Grace Hooded Jacket (http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/The-North-Face-Grace-Hooded-Jacket-Womens/TNF1530M.html) ?
I live in NYC & frequently hit the outskirts and nature on the weekends, and this jacket is perfect for both. Keeps me completely dry in a steady rain, and is quite stylish. Totally durable and great for layering (though snug, so size up); I'll wear this one for years.
I have vintage white and it is much paler than the yellowy-white color of an office file folder--but in the same family. Nice color. The one I got doesnt seem tan at all.
I live in northern WV and I bought the North Face Thunder Summit Series down jacket last year and absolutely love it. It's so light weight and very warm. However it doesn't have any wind wall factor, waterproofing, or hood so this fall I bought this K jacket to layer over it when I need some waterproofing or am going to be outside walking and need more wind protection. It's also a good lighter option when I don't need something as warm as the Thunder. It's very cute, stylish and comfortable. I love the pockets' soft lining, the cute belt, and the fact that the bottom will zip up a bit if you need some extra room while sitting or walking. I bought it in a medium and it layers over my Thunder well and still fits nicely without. I am 5'7 1/2" and 135 lbs. I also really like the hood. It is large enough to cover your head well in case of wind and rain and can be tightened around your head so it stays on.
Will the Opus jacket layer well underneath the K Jacket? Will the Darby jacket layer under the K? Is the K sized for layering or should I size up? Is the K jacket lined? Too many questions???
Very happy I bought this jacket. So far its repelled the city wind and rain. The pockets are only a little small but I love them--they lie flat--they're not made of velcro/mesh so they dont catch on clothes and keys--and there are five, YES FIVE of them. The tidy way the hood comes off/on is wonderful. The hood itself is a little odd. Its very deep and theres no way to shorten it. If youve got somethign on your head or a ponytail its no problem. But if you have a little head, the hood will come right over your face. This jacket is shorter from shoulder to waist (Yay!) than other NF jackets I've tried. It also seems slimmer through the bust and hips. I'm 5'2" and I have a medium. The small wouldnt zip over my hips even though Im a size small according to the chart. So....if you think you're a little hippy, consider sizing up. (Even though I have a medium, I still tend to unzip the coat at the bottom when I'm sitting for a while.) PS -The K jacket seems to have a very different fit than the NF Grace.
Do you have womens sizes? I would love a North Face jacket.I take a 2X size. Want black jacket with hood. If not, do you have men's sizes? Maybe, men's size might fit?
This is a cute jacket - but it didn't fit me well so I had to return it. I ordered a medium - I am 5'7", 145 lbs. It was too tight in the hip/butt area. I would have had to wear it with the zipper unzipped from the bottom a few inches. It looked a little odd like that. I thought about getting a larger one - and I would have if backcountry.com had a large in stock. I was a little afraid that the large would be too big on my top half - because the medium fit well on the top half.
I've been wearing this jacket almost every day since I got. It looks good over almost any outfit. It's fitted, but I can still wear a light sweater underneath the jacket to keep warm in the cool spring morning when I'm taking my son to school.
The buttons on the check pockets -- are they snap buttons? or traditional buttons that go through button holes ? (I just would like to know whether the buttons are easily replaceable with simple sewing.)Thanks!
I have a Apex Bionic jacket that I wanted to wear as a base layer, and I live in Virginia Beach where we have all four seasons. Is this jacket warm enough for the mid-Atlantic region during the fall and winter?
My brother's girlfriend owns this jacket, and she wears it on trips to places like Seattle in winter and around LA during the rainy season when it gets down into the 40's. It's not just a shell, but I don't think it's warm enough for a "real" winter. BTW, it's a great looking coat - I've been planning on buying one when they go on sale...someday soon hopefully.
