The North Face Greenland Down Jacket - Girls'

Life in the Netherlands is Windy, Wet and Cold. This jacket has performed well this winter but it's not perfect. Cons: Children's jackets have no drawstring on the hood, so in windy conditions it blows right off. They rarely use the hood since it's usually rainy AND windy at the same time. The zip goes all the way up over the chin but my 8 & 6 yrs. old daughters don't like it. Jacket is warm but left them feeling chilled on days below 40 degree F (4C)...winds 15mph+ (24 KpH). Even though label says it can be machine washed on delicate, the down did not hold up in the wash...Machine washing is NOT recommended. Pros: Waterproof factor is excellent but after continual use for 6 months straight I've noticed a little bleeding on the external side of the fabric. Even so, it's still dry on the inside. The Length is good...falls just at the hip. Longer than many jackets but not cumbersome like the knee length jackets. Overall, this jacket can be worn in temps. 50-57F(14C-10C) and 40-49F(9C-4C) comfortably without extra layers. It's too warm for 58F-60F and too cool for the 30-39F(4C-0C) with wind. Waterproof is good. Hood not good. Recommend Dry Cleaning only.

Stylish and warm. My daughter loves it and she is protected from cold and snow. I recommend it, might buy myself one too!

North Face always makes good quality items and this is no different. I bought a medium for my 4 and a half year old. It fits nicely and will last for a few years. It was well worth the money.

I love my jacket! I am 5'2 and petite. This jacket works great for me. Originally I purchased an XL which was too big. I ended up returning it for a L which fits perfectly!

I am a size 4 woman, and this jacket fits great, it's surprisingly long enough and super warm. Would highly recommend!

I am a petite woman and the Girls XL is a perfect fit. Very flattering and comfortable. Fur trim on hood sits a bit low on the forehead but at least will be able to remove if it gets in the way (but I do like that it keeps my face warm!).

Whoever reviewed this jacket as a good fit for petite women, she was right on. I used to pass up The North Face, because the "adult" lines were too large. Jacket attracts dust like no tomorrow, but is sweetly toasty for skiing in subzero and hanging out non-aerobically at ice rinks with all the right pockets. I liked the stylish buckle at the waist, which is why I order this to begin with, was a little disappointed that the buckle was molded plastic, but when I put on my regular skiing jacket for zooming down the slopes, all the stuff in my pockets that weighs it down makes me appreciate shaving off that extra bit of weight with a change of material. The whole package overall is quite, quite functional and styling.

Waterproof, breatheable, warm and stylish. This coat is brilliant in every way. The adjustable belt is great for customizing any person's body shape, and rules out the usual puffiness that most winter jackets have. The optional gray faux fur of the hood is an extra appeal, and will allow you to be warm in the coldest of blizzards. I've found that both rain or snow just disappears when it touches the jacket, so there is no need to worry about inclement weather. The two zip-side pockets are lined with a fleece-like material, which can substitute a pair of gloves. The inside of the jacket has two compartments -- one for your cellphone or MP3 player, and the other a deep zip pocket large enough to hold three wallets! With this, you will never misplace your car keys or valuables again. If you are a petite woman around five feet or so, a girl's Large will fit perfectly. Greenland -- the only winter jacket you will ever need!

This jacket is very warm and very flatering on. It doesn't poof out like some down jackets making you look huge. I bought this jacket for my teen daughter who wears a size 4. We ordered the large girls and it fit great.

My teenage daughter is so happy with this jacket. It is a little longer and very flattering. She gets lots of compliments whenever she wears it- that's unusual for 8th grade!

My daughter needed a warm coat. Being a little picky about what she wears, it's always a challenge to get something she likes. She really likes this one! I must say this is one of the nicest coats I've ever bought her. It's not too "puffy", with excellent free-range of motion for an active child and very warm. An excellent coat with excellent response time and service. Thank you!!

This jacket is really quite warm. I'm a petite 25-year-old, and it was way more economical for me to get a girls large than a women’s XS that would be slightly too big and cost a lot more. I like the faux fur fringe, although when I was skiing it blocked my vision, so I ended up zipping it off. All in all, a toasty and comfortable jacket.

The jacket is lightly filled with down, but it still kept me warm in a snow storm on top of a mountain. The hood kept my head and ears equally protected. I would recommend this jacket to someone who's looking for warmth and style.
