Zip up The North Face Women’s Scythe Fleece Jacket, and enjoy the high-loft warmth of Polartec Thermal Pro fleece, whether you’re camping at 12,000 feet or meeting the girls out for drinks at sea level. This technical jacket features a performance fit and stretchy side panels for full mobility in the backcountry, and the high warmth-to-weight ratio makes the Scythe ideal for travel or just-in-case situations. Wear it over a T-shirt on cool fall nights or under your shell jacket when you head to the mountains. This fleece packs up in a small ball and fluffs back out in a snap, so you can take it wherever you like.
Bottom Line: Like a high-performance, wearable shag carpet.
Hi - They are not the same fleece - the Osito is a proprietary North Face fleece, where the Scythe is a Polartec fleece. The Scythe also has Power Stretch panels on the sides that give it more of a performance fit and feel. They are both super soft. Hope this helps
I have three of these jackets now and let me tell you...soon it will be four. They are true to size, easy to care for and probably the most comfortable item in my closet. I wear them all the time. I always receive compliments on them too. They are soooo cozy. I highly recommend this jacket!
One of the reasons I bought this jacket was the review that mentioned it had long arms - I actually prefer that so they don't ride up if I lift my arms up over my head. However, I'm not sure why the arms are so long and the torso is relatively short in comparison. It's not that long - and does ride up a little when you lift up your arms. But, i DO like the fit - very sculpted, not boxy, so the short length does not seem to matter as much. I do love the extra furry fleece - it's very thick but not shaggy like the monkey fur type fleece. The eco-green is a great color too. One thing you can't see in the pics is the gray powerstretch panel that goes from waist to underarm all the way down to the wrist. It looks okay though in real life.
I love this jacket because it is so soft, and more fitted. It is my favorite North Face, and I always get complements on it. I have had mine for over a year, and even after washing it looks great. It is warm enough to wear in cold weather, yet breathable enough that when you come indoors you can continue to wear it without overheating. It is not windproof, but I can get by wearing it in 30 degree weather and still be comfortable. It is ideal for fall weather (I live in Wisconsin.)
This jacket is on the shorter side, so if you want a longer torso fit, I would get a bigger size, or a different jacket.
not sure if this is the exact jacket i have, mine is super soft inside and out. not your regular fleece. anyways are these machine washable???? i looked for the care tag and couldnt find one. probably on purchase tag which is long gone.... the po#4500724047 if that helps
I love this jacket, I also have a Denali, and a Apex Summit and this makes me ready for any type of weather. When the Denali is too heavy, this one is just perfect. Light weight yet snuggly warm!
The material is nice and soft, and the styling excellent. But the sleeves are much too long. I look like a gorilla. Buy this if you have long arms or if you like to have the sleeves cover your hands during cold days.
This is a great little jacket. It's warm, soft, and light weight. Great to wear under your snow jacket shell or any coat for that matter. I absolutely love how long the sleeves are. I'm 5'5" 115lbs and the xs fits great. The performance fit is nice and stretchy, moving with your body. Only complaint is that it's a little short.
