Amazing!

December 11, 2008
It is snowing here in my part of Texas today (very rare), so I put on my new NF jacket (over a very thin shirt) and took my puppy outside to see his first snow. I was so toasty warm, it was amazing. Unlike my other (not-as-nice) down jacket, I cannot feel the wind or cold air getting through this jacket at all. As far as fitting goes, I am 5'6.5", 120 lbs, small chested (32 A), and I bought a small. It fits a little larger in the torso than I would like, but the sleeves are JUST right, so I fear an XS would be too short in the sleeves. However, the extra room in the torso is good if I ever want to wear a sweater or anything beneath it, or for women with larger chests. Also, the black is an incredibly beautiful shiny black that I just love - it matches my (black lab) puppy's extremely shiny black coat!
