The North Face Perilune Jacket - Women's - 2010 BCS

After researching and trying on the 3-in-1 jackets offered by northface, I was disappointed by the this hoods that provided no warmth and the fact that the inner jackets didn't have hoods. I decided to make my own. I went with a hooded Denali jacket and started my search for an adequate shell. I live in Colorado and travel to New Jersey so I encounter all sorts of winter weather. After some very helpful online assistance from a backcountry rep, I chose the perilune. The hood provides wind and water protection and fits perfectly over the cozy Denali hood. The jackets zip together and apart very easily which is a must in CO as one day is snowy and freezing and the next could be 60 degrees and sunny. The perilune has vents under the arms and will serve well as a rain jacket as well. I feel I can use this coat every season. I have a smaller frame (5'7, size 4) but got a medium in both. This fits a little loosely but allows for layering without looking too bulky or shapeless. I am very happy with this combo!

My daughter loves her North Face Perilune. Right now, she uses it as a shell with the Denali (we live in Buffalo, NY) and says it keeps her extremely warm. She loves that it's essentially wind and water proof too for long walks on her college campus! My one BIG suggestion if you're using this with items that "attach" into it is to buy this a size bigger than your Denali. A small Perilune was too small to fit comfortably over a small Denali.

Bought this for my gf in green. She loves the green but just FYI the strip that covers the left/right pocket zippers are white. The current photo above is tricky as it blends in with the background. Also the green one we got is NOT two tone as the other jackets (a good thing)

Haven't tested it in rain yet. but doesn't feel insanely waterproof. But we shall see.

Got an XS fits her perfectly (she says, if she wears a sweater underneath. 5' 5", 127lbs. Athletiic type body.

AWESOME JACKET!

I read the previous review before ordering this jacket.Some of them said that it run small. I am 5'2" and 110 pounds. I usually wear a small or X-small. I got an XS. IT fits well. I can use it as a shell with the Denali(XS) and Khumba(XS) .

First off, I won't say the jacket is bad, haven't really put it to test yet. I am assuming that it should do what its supposed to do. The only problem is I am in two minds about keeping it!!
I am 5.5 125 pounds, usually wear a small. I ordered the Medium listening to the previous reviews, about it being snug. However when I tried mine on a few minutes ago, it looks really weird on me. The arms are tooo long, overall looks SO loose on me, the cap is too big, even when I adjust it by the draw-cords, it gets to a point where it interferes with my line of vision. :(

Really wanted to love this jacket. I ordered it for a hiking vacation trip to British Columbia, leaving for it next week. If I send for an exchange, unless I shell out the money for expedited shipping, I am pretty sure I wont receive it on time. What a bummer!

PS: This is lined, and seems like a very good quality jacket though.

I got this jacket to accompany the Lily Thermal Jacket as it wasn't warm enough for the winter winds here in Iowa. The Lily Jacket is stated to be just a snap in jacket, however it zipped into this shell just fine! There is extra zipper track at the neck of the Perilune Jacket as the Lily doesn't fit exactly right but you can't tell and if someone does it doesn't look weird. The fit of the Perilune is great, it's a little bit fitted but yet very comfy!

Bought this jacket for my daughter, but am exchanging it. Nice jacket to wear alone, or as an outer layer, but I think it runs quite small. It fit like a petite small rather than a regular small. I'd order a size up, particularly if you plan to layer under it. Looking forward to receiving the medium and hope it fits.

Love the color, love the fit, I also found the zip in liner, unfortunately Backcountry did not have it, but I found it in teh denim blue and it is even more versatile.

hello! i got this jacket for my daughter and she loved it! thr bad part is she is SUPER skinny and the small jacket was big on her. It woupd be good to have a fleece jacket to zip in if u live in the colder parts like minnesota. Otherwise, its a great shell!

Love the jacket. But when I zipped it to the Denali fleece, it became quite snug. Unfortunately, on other option.
