I had been hunting for a down winter jacket that was practical enough to wear skiing or hiking and stylish/streamlined enough to wear around town. I also wanted something essentially waterproof, because here in northern Michigan we get a wide range of interesting winter weather! I FINALLY found what I needed in this North Face Allure jacket. For me, it's the perfect length (not too short, as people have said other North Face coats are), it's warm, the down hood is very functional, and I've worn it in all conditions, from wet snow to dry cold. It just works. Sizing was normal for me-- I'm a size 4-6 and usually wear small tops, and the small fits perfectly. By the way, the soft lining on the collar in the pockets is a great touch.
