The North Face Helicity Windstopper Down Jacket - Women's

Item #TNF3444 | 83 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Good but not Great...

By Ranked #211 - Women's Down Jackets December 31, 2008

Got my jacket about 2 months ago and have had time to test it in our wonderful winter weather recently (Iowa)... It's warm, has room underneath of it for layers, but it is SHORT (only hits at my hip) and I don't really get the 1/2 hood? The hood doesn't fully cover your head... maybe this is a feature I don't fully understand, but not ideal for trying to stay warm on winter treks. The shortness is what really gets me though, without a longer layer underneath you may experience icy blasts on your midriff. It's a bit bulky- but not too bad. I like it overall... just wish it was about 2-3 inches longer!
