The North Face Windwall 1 Fleece Jacket - Women's
The North Face Women's WindWall 1 Jacket expands the boundary of traditional wind-stopping jackets to offer greatly increased breathability, mobility, and comfort. WindWall is a TNF proprietary fleece fabric that provides awesome wind protection, yet allows enough air permeability for aerobic activities. Unlike WindStopper and other wind-blocking materials, which can uncomfortably trap moisture and excess heat, WindWall keeps you dry, warm, and operating at your highest performance level. Perfect for outdoor activities as diverse as backcountry skiing, hiking, or just an evening stroll around town, the WindWall 1 may well help you forget about traditional fleece and wind-blocking jackets altogether.
Bottom Line: Take shelter from the gale in the WindWall.

Perfect for my bike!

I have a really hard time finding warm jackets that I can bike in that don't bunch up and create drafts. This jacket is wonderful: it has a cinch cord at the bottom, no extra bulk, and the sleeves are long enough. I'm super tall and slender, and I got a large. There's room to layer if I so choose, and the large is longer through the hips than the medium. My two sisters and I all have this jacket in different colors and we each love it. Highly recommended for riding/biking to class in the bitter winter winds.
Another Great North Face Jacket!!
By: gg1729758
June 10, 2009
I have purchased several types of North Face jacket in the past few years, both for myself and family.
I purchased this windwall, since I was so pleased with my 1st windwall. The only difference was the color. They are simply great for the golf course. They block the strong winds, without being bulky. I would highly recommend this product. The sleeve length is perfect, especially since I'm 5'10 and the sleeves are plenty long enough when swinging. I also love the lifetime warranty, along with the sale prices. You can afford a few or more North Face when you buy them "on-sale". Thanks Backcountry!!
Is it water resistant in case I get caught in the rain?

This is not a very water resistant jacket. There might be some water resistant nature but not much at all. This is mostly a jacket for wind resistance.

Great Jacket for Spring Golf in Wis.
By: gg1729758
June 4, 2009
I bought this jacket for Spring golf in Wisconsin. It blocks the wind well and is thin enough to be able to swing the golf club freely. I'm 5'll" 138 lbs. and normally wear a size medium in North Face jackets. I did send this one back, however, and exchanged it for a size large. It seemed a bit snug across the bust, while wearing a light sweater under it. I'm happy to say the size large fits well with the sweater, and not too loose without it either.
Like the Windwall Jacket
By: krista1733651

I am really enjoying my windwall jacket from North Face. It is very cozy and takes the bite out of the wind. I'd love to have pants made out of the same material and just cozy up for a nap.
The fit was nothing different than what I typically order. I am 5'7" and didn't have any problems with the arm length or length of the jacket itself. I am not sure what the other reviews are talking about. It is probably 4" below my belly button and about 2" from my jean button. I wasn't expecting anything different. I don't have any problem with the neck either. I actually find the jacket extremely comfortable and usually I have problems because I have broad shoulders.
Hope this helps others.

The jacket is cut for a flattering shape but it definitely still holds plenty of wiggle room for layering underneath. The new shape means that there isn't all that extra fabric around the waist.

My husband and I both own this jacket and love it, so when my daughter, who is working in South Korea, asked for a windblock jacket for riding her scooter, I figured that this would be great for her as well. She is loving it and keeping warm on the other side of the world. For both my daughter and I, the fit is perfect. We are both a bit short, but the jacket is just right.
Love it

I picked this jacket up for my girlfriend and she loves it. the winter white looks great on her too. she is 5'3 and 120 lbs and the small fit her form perfect. it has a nice cut down her sides and keeps her warm on those cold windy days. would buy it again in a second.

TNF Windwall Fleece Jacket - GREAT!
By: Jayla Burley Wolfe
February 2, 2009
I think this was my first BCS purchase a few years ago! And in that time, it's held up for hundreds of running miles. It's in good shape too, and it's everything I want to block wind. It's not soft and fluffy on the inside, but it's a pragmatic, excellent choice to block wind. Mine is pink so it's feminine.
Nope. Just the 2 exterior. This is more of a jacket/shirt, so that's why there's not a pickpocket etc.

Soooo,
By: vanessa_webster6192338605

this jacket is great. I took it on a backpacking trip the first time that I used it and not only was it lightweight, it was effective in blocking wind and keeping me warm during the cooler early morning and early evening hikes. I think that it blocks wind better than retaining warmth, but if you pack along a great warmth layer, you should be fine.
The cut is feminine and flattering. I am 5'3 and 110 and I bought an XS. It fit perfectly, would have been nicer if it was just a tad longer in the torso and arms. Just a little. But it was really no big deal.
weirdness with the neck
By: ms.targaryen2340580
October 7, 2008
I like this jacket, wind-stopping ability is good. The main issue I have with this jacket is the neck. Basically, the neck is too tall. It is kind of loose, but the zipper at the top is stiff enough that it holds the neck up, so that it is constantly poking me in the chin. The zipper is also a little difficult to operate at the top. I will try wearing this a few more times to see if I continue to be annoyed by this.
I have this jacket for my self and my women loves to wear it
I have this jacket for my self and my women loves to wear it so I was thinking about getting her one for Christmas! She is 5' 4" and 115 and was wondering what size most women would perfer? I see some complaints about the small that some women have about her size! Thank you

Great fleece jacket
By: rj2408258
September 9, 2008
I bought this jacket last year and practically lived in it. It's the best fleece jacket that I've ever owned. Definitely worth the price. It does an excellent job of blocking the wind and, although it is lightweight in feel, does a great job of keeping you warm too. I highly recommend this product.
too short!
By: pla2464615

I love this jacket EXCEPT that it's too short. I have a long torso and would have loved a couple more inches.
Can you zip this fleece into a hard shell. (Does have YKK zippers).

I am 5ft 90 lbs and bought the size XS. It fits me much better than the Apex Bionic and is also lighter. The arms are too long but I just fold them 2x at the ends. Yeah, I know ...but I love this jacket so much!
Nice Jacket
By: John Hall

I bought this jacket for my wife and she loves it, she also has a Apex Bonic and loves it to. She said if she could only have one it would be the Apex but the windwall is almost as good. Its the waterproofing of the Apex thats better, so if your looking for a windproof but not waterproof jacket the windwall is the way to go. Also fits true to size.

I'm 5ft 90lbs, and this is the only size XS TNF fleece jacket that fits me! I've tried the Bionic Apex, and it's too big! However Windwall 1 fits nicely with room for a thick sweater underneath. The sleeves are too long and I have to fold them twice, but I don't mind as it's not obvious in the White color.

This is a wonderful jacket. It is very light, yet warm. It's been perfect for the San Francisco weather which is not cold enough for a huge coat, but too cold for a lighter jacket. Plus, the cut is very flattering.

Great jacket!!! When they say windproof, they mean windproof!!! I just walked across campus in 19 degree weather, and was warm enough wearing this fleece without only a long sleeve t-shirt underneath. I don't know how a jacket that is so light can be this warm!!!

good for bicycle riding
By: jhesselb1129983
November 7, 2008
I wore my new jacket while riding my bicycle in cool (58 F), damp, cloudy, windy weather. I found its wind-blocking feature very good, breathe-ability OK, and warmth just right. It's a little short for my taste and the trim fit makes it a poor choice for layering over anything heavier than a T-shirt, without sizing up.

Any photos of the inside of the jacket? What is the material inside? I bought a northface light ski jacket a few years back and I didn't realize it had a netting type material inside - I hate it. That material sticks to any sweater I wear and makes putting the jacket on or taking off too much of a chore. Thanks!! Just curios.

The fit is trim and nice, not too tight. I'm 5'1 and 105 lbs and ordered an xs. There's still room for a light sweater. The front and back are the same length. I personally think it looks better that way.

Does it fade in the wash and dryer, after time?
Does it fade in the wash and dryer, after time?
By: amyawest212263465
June 15, 2008
it won't if you get a tech wash and do not put it in the dryer with any heat. Anything you take out in the sun a lot will slowly fade, because of the suns rays. If you don't have tech wash or want to get tech wash, use woolite or a very mild detergent. Never use powder detergent on technical materials. The powder is abrasive and scrubs the material and clogs the pores. Also put your soap in and let the washer fill all the way up with water, then put your technical pieces in. This will insure none of the detergent gets directly on the garment and won't cause spotting on the clothing.

Is this jacket fuzzy fleece like the Denali jacket or is it more like the material on a ski jacket, or in between like a tightly woven sweatshirt?
By: katydid_002149374
March 31, 2008
I don't own this jacket, but I tried it on once at a store. It has a very tightly woven fabric but slightly stretchy. I'ts kinda fuzzy on the outside like suede, but is a very strong material. Very high quality. The only downside I noticed is the seams on the inside are really scratchy/itchy. You would have to wear a long sleeve underneath! Hope this helps.

This jacket is warm but light. I love it. True to size and name, it is a windwall. Protects me from the downtown winds. I wear it often whether it be to work or just running errands. I loved it so much I bought it in a black and in the moonlight ivory.

By: han2453501
October 30, 2008
I'm 5'1" and about 90lbs - this jacket was really an odd fit. The sleeves were way too long - past my fingertips, yet the jacket seemed to come up shorter than most like it - I'm pretty short too. Someone that's taller might find this jacket really short. I had to return it.
Nice but...
By: sha2682962

I'm actually sending this jacket back. The arms are long and my daughter did not like the netting liner. (Prefers fleece)
