It's a very good fit for me. I ordered a large for myself hoping the sleeves would be long enough for my 6'3 build and they were! Only real issue I have is the fact that the discontinued colors prices went up after I bought mine. I told a friend to get one too but now they're unsure if they want to spend the extra money.... oh well, I got mine.

I haven't taken it to the mountain yet, but this fleece is great. I've mainly used it for staying warm in the evening. I love the look and it's crazy soft.

This site is awesome & this is an excellent jacket. They exchanged my jacket for a smaller size even though I already wore it once - without a hitch! I'm extremely satisfied with the jacket and this site.

I got this fleece thinking i would layer it with my north face shell, but its so warm and cool looking I find myself wearing it alone. very soft and very warm, and the sale price makes this fleece the clear winner amongst the north faces liners. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a low priced high quality jacket.

Great jacket for warmer winter days and cool spring/fall/summer. If you are a "warm" person, this is perfect for anything 10 degrees and up. I can slap on a t-shirt and this jacket and feel great! Fit is loose to allow for layering. The perfect fleece.

I've had this jacket for over two years now. I've owned a North Face Denali, and an Apex Bionic. The Khumbu, although cheaper and supposedly less efficient (and less trendy) than the other two, is by far my favorite fleece / softshell so far. No matter what anyone says to me, I'm convinced that this jacket is just as warm as the disgustingly overpriced Denali. The winter of '06 in Maine I wore the Khumbu with a sweatshirt underneath all winter - that was my winter jacket, and it served me wonderfully. Unless you're talking wind chills below zero, this jacket with appropriate layers will stand up to the cold. At around $80, I think it's overpriced (and this is their lowest priced fleece), but you're paying for The North Face logo on the front and back, after all. I'm tall, 6'3, around 200 lbs, and an XL is a perfect fit. It fits loosely, but not too loose, which I love. It feels just right on me. There aren't 300 tassels hanging off twenty different zippers - it's a no nonsense, simple, comfortable fleece. The jacket has also pilled up very little. There are a few occasional pills around the cuffs from time to time. The color (black) has barely faded very little over the past couple yearsl, which I find amazing. My only gripe with the color is that it's way too easy to see the dog hair. I'll probably pick up a different color Khumbu eventually, just to have an extra. I really hope The North Face doesn't discontinue this jacket, or modify it in any way. Also, Backcountry rocks - their sales can't be beat.

Received my Khumbu fleece Jacket and it is awesome. I've been wearing almost everyday and it is a great layer for those below zero degree weather. It is very comfortable and have had many compliments. If you are cold a lot as i am, it's like wearing a warm blanket. The reviews on this site were extremely helpful. The delivery was fast and the price was unbeatable when i compared to other sites. I will definitely be a return customer.

Great jacket! Bought these for both brother and dad - they love them. I had to return dad's for size reasons. Had to wait for the refund for about 1.5 weeks but not bad since they make returns a cinch! Highly recommend your site!

This fleece jacket is very comfortable and warm but don't wear it on a windy day...the wind, depending how strong, will go right through it.

I bought this for my husband. Very nice fleece. Good construction - as with most NF products. Sometimes I feel like I'm paying a little more than necessary - but the consistent quality is worth it.
Cheers.

Preface, I'm a North Face gear junkie and own pants, jackets, sleeping and back packs
The Khumbu fleece is a nice standard fleece, very comfortable and warm - Since purchase I have tested it out in San Francisco, bay area and it was great - It has two outer pockets and two, larger, inner pockets.
My only complaint is that the large is a bit too large, meaning that the arms are bit too long as is the length; I am 6'0 with an athletic build and a bit bummed about the LARGE size - I am pretty sure the Medium may have been a better fit;

I purchased these jackets for my 13 and 14 year old sons for Christmas. They love them and it's now easy to get them to wear a jacket when its cold and windy. Light weight yet warm and a totally cool fashion statement for any age.

I purchased 2 of these jackets as Christmas gifts for my grandsons and was very pleased, not only with the jackets but with the service I received!
The quality was excellent and my grandchildren loved them!
This was my first purchase from you and shortly after I ordered them online, I realized I might have ordered one of the jackets in a smaller size than I should have. I called customer service and was helped by the most courteous young man! I don't remember his name, but he was so helpful!
I wasn't sure if I could change my order after I had submitted it, but he checked on it for me and found that I called in time! He took care of it for me and I received the jackets much sooner than I expected!
I was just very pleased with your service.
I would recommend you to anyone else and will certainly be back for more!
Thank you very much and Happy New Year!

It's a fine jacket but I would rather go with a Denali The first thing you notice with this jacket and the Denali is that the fleece feels totally different. The Denali's Polartec 300 fleece feels so soft and smooth. The Khumbu's Polartec 200 fleece feels "itchy". The jacket is considerably less than the Denali but after just trying it on, I knew that the Denali was a better buy and that I would like that more. So I returned the Khumbu for the Denali. For me to wear a piece of clothing, it must be comfortable not just look good. The Khumbu looks good but I'm not a fan of the Polartec 200. This is just my opinion, you may like the 200 but once you experience the Polartec 300, you won't be going back to anything else.

The Khumbu jacket is perfect for wearing around as an everyday jacket. The style is nice, I got the red and it looks great with jeans or khakis. It's cut generously, so you can wear whatever you want under it. I went to a football game in the mid 40's, just standing around in the bleachers the jacket was plenty warm enough. The nice high collar helps out in that department. The fleece material is great, seems to be more tightly knit then others, it's softer and smoother, I washed it and got no fuzzies left over. The hem cinch cords are nice, it would be great if the sleeves had velcro, but this way it fits well over gloves. I had to wear it as a goalie jersey in soccer one night and it worked well for that too. For the price, it's tough to imagine beating this one.

I bought the Ignition Orange at the end of last season (w/graphite grey) and was l so impressed at it's taming of the cold vermont winter that I had to get another in case one was in the wash. When I saw that my favoite jacket color filo green was being discontinued I had to have one. I just got the jacket and the colors are the best combo of them all. Get this color before there gone, you won't be sorry you did. I am a larger man (52 inch chest) and the length is perfect (below the waist & the fit is perfect).

This jacket is very warm and fairly light. It runs big though so order a size smaller than you usually do. Other than that, it is very warm and will get any job done.

The Khumbu jacket made by The North Face is a fantastic mid layer garment. The fleece is great on its own for cooler temps but not for all out winter weather. The wind penetrates the jacket, but its not a wind stopper fleece so the buyer should not expect performance beyond what it was created for. The cuffs are fleece with nothing to assist in a tighter fit. However, the right size jacket picked will not make this an issue. The collar is high and very soft. The jacket has plenty of room for layering underneath and is a bit over sized, especially in arm length. The jacket is made well, feels great, and is attractive. I returned this item however, because I wanted a wind stopper fleece for Alaska weather. So I bought The North Face Navarre, which turned out to be perfect for my needs. If I had the extra money to spend I would have kept this jacket. Thanks you guys for being so easy to work with!

Fair price. Excellent product. Excellent stitch work. This jacket runs a bit big, which gives plenty of room for layering. Sleeves were long and the cuffs had no means of making them tighter. However, the cuffs were tight enough that the jacket did not swallow up my hands. This is an excellent layering jacket. Comfortable and warm in mild weather conditions. The Khumbu would not keep you warm if the weather drops to the low teens. Wind cuts through the jacket as well, but the jacket is not made to stop it. Good-looking jacket. Excellent product for what its made for but don't expect more from it.

My husband would always grab one of his old multi-colored, striped plaid shirts when we would head out. I seen the Khumbu Fleece Jacket and thought I would surprise him. He loves it! He looks much nicer in it than his old insulated shirts too. The jacket fits nicely and is soft and comfortable. He wears it for work & play. I was worried about the color, but he complemented it the moment he seen it come out of the package (the berry color).

I'll admit, I looked at the price tag and figured I could probably find something adequate for cheaper. Then, I figured, my hubby was worth it. Well, he loves this thing. Loves it. Light enough to not be clunky, warm enough to do the trick. The quality and workmanship is worth every dime. Highly recommend.

This is a solid fleece jacket for the price. Of all the jackets I own this one gets the most use. Let's be clear though,it is not wind proof. The guy sitting in his duck blind wearing this jacket,gimme a break. It's a great jacket to wear around town but not something you wear in the field.

This fleece is a very good piece of equipment for all-weather wear. It's quite warm, but not overly so for temperate conditions. However, if you're considering buying one, you'll probably want to get a shell for it for water/wind-proofing purposes. It's also pretty stylish, for those of you worried about such things.

Good jacket with potential to be great. This site's description says the fleece will not pill. The sleeves on this jacket started pilling the first day I wore it. Because the fleece is very smooth (unlike regular fleece which has a lot of texture) the pilling is very obvious. Otherwise the jacket is very soft, warm and comfortable. However, due to the problem with the Khumbu fleece I exchanged mine for the TKA.

I love the jacket. I am 6'5'', 290lb football player and the jacket fits great with room to move in the shoulders and I can't say that about a lot of XXL's. I gotta give credit to Backcountry, I got this jacket to my door for $90 with 2nd day shipping, its a $99 jacket in the m
