Talkeetna Parka could be Longer in Length

By Aiko Yonamine Ranked #669 - Women's 3-in-1 Jackets February 25, 2008

I initially purchased the W Amplitude Triclimate but decided to go with the W Talkeetna Triclimate thinking that it would be much longer just like it said in the description. Unfortunately, it is only 1 inch longer (after speaking to a NF customer service rep) than the Amplitude Triclimate and indeed roomier as well. I have a petite frame (female 5'2" at 100 lbs) and prefer a slimmer/performance cut jacket. That said, the Talkeetna Triclimate is still a functional jacket; quite warm regardless of the shorter cut. I also like the deeper pockets of the Talkeetna Triclimate. I would've given it 5 stars if it was longer and slimmer or has a more feminine silhouette. The description was misleading. I got really excited thinking it would be much longer. Interestingly enough, it seems that NF make their jackets quite shorter than the other brands. I have owned some Patagonia & Arc Tery'x jackets and have been quite happy with the cuts. Maybe NF will create a parka that fits the description I am looking for for Fall 2008. We'll see!
