This jacket is quite deceiving. I pulled it out of the package and was dumbfounded at how lightweight it is. I thought to myself, didn't I order a winter jacket? I live in the Northeast and it gets FRIGID in the winters. Pair that with a dog that has to be walked every day and night, I needed a warm jacket. Well, I am happy to report that this jacket indeed fits that bill. It is very warm!! I love it! This past weekend when we had the Nor'Easter I paired it with a NorthFace fleece and was actually TOO toasty! This is a great jacket. Love the purple color, it's perfect.

I'm 5'2 tall with 27-28 inch of waist, what size should I take? I'm afraid XS is too small for me..

Hi Sharon, my sister has the same measurements but has a big bust and likes the Medium. I'm 5'2" with a 24" waist and smaller bust and XS fits me fine, with room to layer. I highly recommend you take your bust and hip measurements and compare it to TNF's sizing chart:

It gets to be about -20C sometimes where I live, but the jacket kept me warm, although I think a light sweater inside could help on rougher days. Great fit, super light-weight. Went cross-country skiing with it, was light and comfortable, kept me super warm. Water bounces right off. This is a great jacket. Love how it's a little tighter around the hips to keep the cold from getting in under.
You'll love it too, I think.
Cheers.
Yep it is made in China. Hope that helps.

Hey Nica,
More than likely China, along with the rest of their line.

The jacket is very nice and light but haven't try it in cold weather yet.
Best winter jacket I've ever owned

I live in Seattle where it's cool in the winter and rains constantly, and thus far, this jacket has held up great. It's very light and at first I was skeptical but it's kept me warmer than any other jacket I own, it's been great in the rain, very waterproof, as well as windproof. The only concern I have is making the waterproofing last when it comes to washing. I know I can't dry clean it, but I've experienced other jackets losing their waterproof coating after several machine washes and I'm hoping that won't happen with this jacket.

I got this in the mail today. I love it! Its very lightweight and soft. Feels like it has some down padding in it, but no actual bird feathers.
Just what I was looking for. Has a great cut- with slight tapering in the waist area.
Change me.
