The North Face Khumbu Fleece Jacket - Men's

This fleece is exactly what is it supposed to be - a great midlayer and a descent coat on those mild days. The small fits me great even over a baselayer, and I'm 5'6"(168 cm) 130 lbs(59 kg). The price of these fleece compared to the other TNF fleeces (aka the Denali) makes it even more worth it.

Great alone on cooler days and works excellent under a shell when it gets colder. I'm 6'4" 210 lbs and the extra large fit great, but it is a relaxed fit like the description says.

Greetings,

I bought a this very same jacket way back in 1994, prior to a trip to South America. I still have the original and it has served me well.

However, it was time for a new one, and the one I just got was awsome. The same outstanding quality and product and I hope they don´t discontinue it.

Buy one, and if you treat it right, it will give you years of confort and service. As far as the sizing, it is completely true. No worries there.

P.S. I am not throwing out the old one just yet. I just
bought a new one while I could get it!!! LOL.

This is a great fleece jacket for the price. I'm looking forward to testing it as a midlayer on more blustery days. I ordered a large and it fits like a large should. No surprises or disappointments.

Was looking for a light fleece jacket to use with the North Face Venture jacket, after finding that the NF Denali was just too heavy, and the NF Windwall too warm. After looking at a number of commercial offerings, I pick this Khumbu. It a bit leaner and lighter, so it matches my intended use pretty well- 45F-55F, under a Venture jacket, with wind and rain. By it itself, it is a rather nice jacket for outdoor activities at 50F.

This is a very nice fleece that I received as a present. Soft and warm.
HOWEVER, if you are buying it to layer order down one size.
I'm 6'2" 215lbs with 35" arm length and the XL I own is too big to layer under a shell. I still wear it a lot, but too much material to put under a shell.

Not only does the fleece look fly, but it zips in nicely to my Alliance winter jacket. I'm about 6'1'' and 195 lbs. and an XL is a tad large, but does the trick. Not the warmest layer on its own, but really comfortable.

Well, when i bought my first north face jacket i was very impressed with the quality of the khumbu. It is extremely comfortable and soft and gets the job done to about 40 degrees. Stops wind somewhat, all in all, it does work son!

My daughters bought the Deep water blue khumbu for their dad for
Christmas. He doesn't like to wear a big coat or jacket. This is perfect for him!

Bought this for my daughters boyfriend as a christmas gift. He really likes it and has been wearing it ever since he got it.

I bought 12 of these jackets for my sons, my wife, my daughters-in-law, and me. We all love them. Even when the temp is in the teens, these seem to be all we need. Very warm and yet lightweight. I am 6'2" and about 220 lbs and I wear an X-Large and it fits perfect. I also had to return 4 jackets on 2 different orders and reorder them because I had guessed sizes wrong and had no trouble with getting the credit back on my card. It was very easy ordering from Backcountry.

I gave this jacket as a gift to my son for Christmas (2008) and he loves it. Backcountry was very prompt with shipping. Would buy from them again.

good fleece for 55 degrees or better. It looks basic but feels ok. does not stop wind and it is not a tka fleece but for $60 i'd buy it again.

GREAT PURCHASE! This is a perfect jacket for mild cold weather. We live on the Gulf of Mexico and it can get a little chilly here a couple of months out of the year & this jacket is perfect! I bought this for my husband after purchasing the Windwall 2 and the Denali but had to return them and he finally fell in love with this ONE over the others. Will definitely buy from this company again as now my son wants a Khumbu and the company is GREAT with returns & exchanges.

Popular present for Christmas this year. Both of my sons loved their jackets. Light weight - but very warm.

Perfect fleece for a cool, casual day when you want to stay warm and comfortable without much wind. No pit zips means I don't wear mine when I'm doing something more active for it is warm enough to make you uncomfortable when you begin to sweat. The zip-in capability is useful for days when the elements require a wind- or waterproof shell but you don't want too much bulk. All in all, a solid jacket and well worth the pricetag, especially when you can get discontinued colors for 30% off and still get free shipping from Backcountry.

The jacket is very nice. It just fits a little big so go down a size if you want to layer.

Gave khumba jacket as a gift and receiver loved it.Perfect for the cold MI days and fast shipping. thanks,

Nice jacket but not quite what my husband was looking for. I have one in the woman's size and love it.

Love the jacket, warm and comfortable.

Bought this in black for a college student in Mississippi. Stylish, warm, great fit, and goes with everything. Can be worn under a windbreaker for extra warmth on rainy days.

Great Jacket, Plenty warm enough for us down here in Georgia! Great Service, excellent price and fast shipping!!

It was a gift for my brother and he seems to love it.

This fleece keeps me warm most places I go. Now considering that I'm not in a cold climate all the time, I don't need much more to keep me nice and toasty but when I go snowboarding, using this layer is almost too warm. It can be worn casually or out to dinner. Either way you're stylin' in TNF so you're already set. This beats the Denali hands down.

It's good and warm.

I got the deep water blue for my boyfriend in XL he loves it he also has a grey one he loves just as much! He hates wearing winter coats but we live in Wisconsin so he needs to wear something and these north face fleeces are always just right!

My husband loves this jacket. It was on sale for a great price too! Size was just right.

Great jacket, great service!!!!

I bought this jacket for my boyfriend for Christmas, but i bought it so early i broke down and gave it to him early. He is a very picky person, but he LOVES his jacket. It goes with everything and fits like a glove! Not too heavy but perfect if it is cold out! Was also the right price ;-)

I love this jacket. It provides just the right warmth.

I was extremely pleased with the service from this company. I could not find the size and color anywhere locally and ordered it blindly after a google search. The price was much lower than local stores and FREE SHIPPING! Definitely will order again. The jackets are exactly what I needed for gifts for our moderate climate.

stuff came on time it was just as i had hoped it would be perfect!thanks

This jacket runs BIG! My husband is 5'5 180lbs, and the Apex Pnuematic fits him. However, the size L Khumbu felt like an XXL! This jacket is very casual and feels like the fleece throw blanket I use to keep me warm while watching TV. I'm giving it a one star because I'm looking for a more structured fit that my husband can wear on business casual days at work.

My son loves it!

great fit, color, and quality my boyfriend loves it. Fast shipping

Best value I could find online (and I am a savvy shopper) - great price, great brand, great fit - nothing bad to say.

Very warm, comfortable, fleece jacket and fast shipping.

The jacket cost more than I wanted to spend, but it definitely meets my expectations for being both wind resistant and water repellent and warm without bulk. Plus my teenage sons think it looks very cool. The downside is they want one. Well, it will be something to look forward to after college. I hope it lasts as long as my LL Bean fleece jacket which I've worn for about 20 years. It now needs some help.

My 14 yr. old son wanted the Khumbu jacket for xmas. He loves it. His only issue is that the cats love it too and get it covered with cat hairs... (he HAD to get a black jacket ;^)

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend this Christmas ... and *Surprise* he bought me the women's khumbu fleece! We wear them around together ALL THE TIME ... I know, it's a little cheesy. He looks great in his and it fits him well, and I know mine is very warm. For being one of the least expensive tnf fleeces, I think it is a great product.

I bought this jacket for my husband for christmas and he loves it. Very warm for a light weight jacket.

My husband wears this all the time and says he loves it. Very warm and toasty.

The jacket is great and the shipping was super fast... very easy company to work with! Thanks and kudos =)

GREAT PURCHASE! This is a perfect jacket for mild cold weather. Great delivery Time

Super comfy jacket. I'm 5'8" 145 lbs and size small fits me perfect. I like this even better than my more expensive pumori jacket (and I really like my pumori jacket). Backcountry's service was great again.

This jacket is AWESOME.. The rubix red is a nice dull almost rusty color red. So you don't have to worry about standing out in a crowd. So if you love northface and the only color they have on sale is rubix red don't hesitate.
I loved it when I opened the package!!!

Ok , You asked for this review. I would like to order, in the future, from Back Country! I bought this Khumbu today, from North Face Outlet in Berkley,Ca. $65.99. I probably would have bought a discontinued color,if I saw one for, $47.97.( (NOT a RUBIX RED though) The 200 weight is very comfortable and warm. A draw string at the waist would make it a super item. The review quoting $60.00 and free shipping beats my deal. Coach

i puchased this jacket for my boyfriend for valentines day.
he loves it, i dont think he ever takes it off

I bought this size small jacket for my 17 years old Son for Christmas. It is too big and sticks out on the back on both sides of the shoulders. I'm not sure he will wear it. It was on sale for $60 and no shipping.

My Grandson just loved his jacket and was one of the first to have one in his schjool. GR

I was given this jacket for Christmas (2008) this year and I have been wearing it very often since. The North Face has once again delivered a fine product that keeps the wearer very warm and comfortable. It remains to be seen how this jacket fairs in heavy winter such as skiing; however, it was not really intended for that so I am content to leave it be. If you are debating whether to buy this jacket for yourself or someone else then I would suggest you do. I live in Western North Carolina and the weather can get below freezing and this product still keeps you going and cozy.
