The North Face Insulated Varius Guide Jacket - Women's - 2008 BCS

I love this jacket! It's super warm and comfy. I bought it to go on a trip to New Zealand, and I can't wait to take it.

I'm 5'10" and about 140 lbs - and always have troubles finding jackets with long enough arms. Well, I ordered a large and the arms are in fact long enough without the rest of the jacket being too bulky. It's warm and looks great - I've gotten lots of compliments.

I ordered the black one and it looked really nice in picture, but when i got it, it was extremely dirty, as if it has been in the warehouse without a cover for 10 years. The fabric caught dirt really easy and the part I don't like is that this material is so hard that when i put it on, it feels like i'm wearing an armor. It keeps you warm in a chilly spring morning though.

I'm 5'5 around 130 lbs, and I also have a hard time with jackets long enough for my arms as well as my torso (I guess I have a long one?). This jacket is perfect! When you think of insulated, you immediately think bulky and big, this one is surprisingly thin, yet still warm enough for the 20* weather we have in New England today. The big test will be my road trip with hubby and the dogs to Wisconsin for xMas... I'll write to let you know how it went-- but Im thinking it will be wonderful! I thought this jacket would have zip-in capability, so I'm a little bummed it doesnt, but it really is warm enough that I don't think I'll need to. ps: this site offers GREAT pricing on this jacket as well!

I ordered this coat on wed I was in need of a real coat. My old baby phat coat zipper broke so I needed to upgrade.. Im the person who buys a new coat every two years i dont see it happening with this coat. I was tired of being cold with dumb bomber jackets . This coat covers my booty perfect and that's good cause i have a big one lol. I am 5'5" and about 160 pounds. THe sleeves are long enough I have enough space. I think i may have bought a size too big. I got a extra large in fear a Large would be small. XL is big but yet very comfortable. The price was great I think I will buy one more before the sale ends cant beat the prices. Its like buying two coats for the price of one expensive north face coat! The shipping was fast I got to track the order which is good I knew when it was coming. I recommend this coat i dont ski but now i just might go cause i have the perfect attire now lol. Thanks Backcountry!!!
