The North Face Alpine Jacket - Women's
Alpine

Ranked #1283 - Women's Ski Jackets

For the price of this jacket, I expected much better quality. The fabric was stiffer with much less fluidity than expected. The snaps on the hood did not fasten, leaving the hood free to flap off the head in the wind; plus the jacket is too tight around the neck, shoulders, arms, bust, and hips; leaving no room for layering for colder weather. I have seen jackets priced cheaper with much better fabric, design, fit, versatility and quality. Word up to North Face: for all that money, some people expect your products to be extraordinary; a name only goes so far.
