TNF Aconcagua Jacet Womens

The North Face Aconcagua Down Jacket - Women's

The North Face Aconcagua Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 January 30, 2010

Wonderful jacket. However, as others mentioned it runs small in the waist and hips. Perhaps it is designed for a taller person to fall at the waist? It also runs too large in the shoulder and back. It should be designed to fit the basic female form; and not so squared off and tapered in the waist and hip area. I am extremely petite, just under 5 feet, 117 lbs; 27 inch waist, and this jacket feels a bit too snug in the waist and hips; and too loose in the shoulders and back; so it tends to ride up when sitting down. Also, TNF should offer the Aconcagua in a longer style to cover the rear. Short jackets are great for sports. However, longer jacekets are better for everydau wear.

Sumptuous jacket. Gorgeous color. However, it is too small in the hips and does not cover the posterior. For $200.00 I expect all that. It should be fitted like the Lily Jacket that is more woman friendly.
However, if you are not at all the "hippy" type;
want a short, light jacket that looks pretty cool, and cost is no object; this is the one for you.

TNF Amplitude TriClimate Jacket

The North Face Amplitude Triclimate Jacket - Women's

The North Face Amplitude Triclimate Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 September 16, 2008

The Amplitude, TriClimate is a great jacket; except the liner does not zip it; it snaps in.Very confusing, since the liner has zipper tracks. I could not understand why I could not figure how to zip it in; until a more enlightened gear head said in a very helpful review on another site that the liner snaps in at collar and cuffs.
Shame on TNF for misleading customers this way. Otherwise this jacket would be fantastic; which is what TNF should aim for in every single product they produce. For the price, if their products are not consistently fantastic, consumers will eventually go elsewhere, after other labels have developed the same cachet.
