Deceivingly thin

By:
October 1, 2009

So I read the reviews that said this jacket was light weight. I was still SHOCKED at how thin it was. I figured I'd try it out anyway.
I love it!
I got it just before fall in Chicago. It's perfect for running or running errands. I talked about it so much, that my brother and my boyfriend both got the men's jackets (and are just as happy.)
It is not a Chicago Winter coat but it is surprisingly warm.

Lovely The North Face Prolix Jacket

This jacket is an excellent piece to have on your closet. It is super light, easy to pack and nice wind protection. Very fresh, so it works great for hiking trips on windy places, keeps your temperature regulated. It really works! Fits true to size.

This jacket is so warm for being so light weight! I absolutely love it! It's great for 40-50 degree weather. I am 5'1, 145 pounds and ordered a Medium and it's perfect.

Too lightweight

By:
February 28, 2010

This was a little too light weight for what I wanted. I returned it. It would be good as a workout jacket in the gym or for a jog on a spring day.

Nice spring, summer,fall jacket

By:
February 20, 2010

This jacket is perfect to wear under another jacket or by itself. It will be great for when my daughter wants something to keep warm while playing field hockey. It wiill fit nicely under her uniform. The jacket is not restarining and it allows her to move freely which is perfect. I did purchase the Womens XS and is a little big for a 14 year old that is about 85 lbs and hasn't made 5 feet yet but she will grow into it, which will give her many years of use.

Running jacket

By:
December 4, 2009

This jacket does the job for running, and in good weather if you need a light jacket thats slightly windproof. Exactly as described, jacket is equal length all way around, sizing is normal to big I would say. Got this jacket in the sky blue, definitely not going to be hit by a bus anytime soon!
