The North Face Transit Down Jacket - Women's - 2009 BCS

I Absolutely Love my TNF Transit Down Jacket.
My only regret is that I did not purchase it sooner. I looked and looked for a coat that I liked, I searched all over Chicago when I was there in February and did not find anything I liked or that fit.
This coat is wonderful, the fit is perfect, the length is great with the cold South Dakota wind.
I have had many, many compliments on this coat. The best part is that I think I am the only person in town with it, so, it really stands out.
Am thinking of getting another in a different color I like it that much.
Highly Recommend!

I love this jacket! I just received it yesterday and could not be more happy. I have a long torso so the length of this jacket is perfect for me! Comes with a hood that can be removed and also the sleeves get tighter around your wrist which is a feature that I really like!

The transit down jacket is just great. It fits really good without squishing your body or your clothes. It also covers your rear and upper thighs so it keeps you warm. It is light enough to take on trips. I am really happy with this jacket.

I'm 5'9, 130 lbs. with a small frame and a size small fit perfectly. I love the phantom red color; very nice and unique. Very warm coat, nice long sleeve and body length too; I like a little extra length and this jacket is perfect for that. It's a jacket I'm proud to own and enjoy wearing so much!

I wanted a very light weight and warm winter jacket that also coverd my tush. I am happy to say that the Transit style jacket did the job. The color of the jacket is red and it goes with everything. It really is more maroon in color then red. The only thing that I didn't expect was the static cling generated from the jacket. I would highly recommend this stylish and shapely jacket.

I bought this for my girlfriend who goes to school in colorado. she absolutely loves it, and wears it everyday. only problem is that the feathers have begun poking through and shes only had it for two months

I bought this jacket for my 19 year old daughter to wear walking around the cold Michigan campus. She has tried it out for that and REALLY likes it. She's short, so it covers her to her thigh, without being too long. She's a size 6 generally and first ordered a medium, reading that they run small. I'm a 10-12 and it fit me, so I quickly ordered a small so she'd have the right size for Christmas. The small was perfect. I had asked advice from Backcountry on this and they didn't really have good advice on this. I'd just say this jacket runs true to size.

I love my new Transit NF coat! The Phantom Red color is perfect and looks more like a burgundy color that is subtle. I am 5'9" and 128 lbs. and a small fit me (I have a small frame). The arms are long enough (although 1/2 an inch more would not hurt) but adequate. I have a long torso and the coat hits me mid-rear. Although there is plenty of down throughout the jacket, it feels very light on which is great. The only downsides about this jacket is that the Phantom Red color can discolor(if you use moisturizer or wear make-up) around the colar and wrists easily. Also, when it's windy, I felt some air through the sleeves. I would say temps that are 30 to high 50's are perfect for this jacket -- Anything below 30 degrees might require some layering underneath, but that's my preference.

The length on this coat is perfect, just below the butt. The sleeve length is also great for me, as I have longish arms. I have the longer version of this coat for extreme cold, but the Transit is the one I grab the most when I get into the car during the winter.

I am a college student in new england, the winters are long cold and brutal. I love this jacket especially when I am walking around my college campus, it keeps me toasty warm! The length is great and at 5"2 this coat hangs just below my butt. I bought a size small, I probably could have used an xs but i like to layer and the small is not too bulky. I love the fit, feel and Ink blue color of this jacket! You cant go wrong!

Bought this jacket for my daughter. Initially ordered size Large because she has long arms (5’9”). Exchanged the Large for a Medium. The medium fits perfect in the arms and body.

I'm really pleased with this jacket. It kept me nice and warm walking across campus with temps in the low 30's. I got it in Cherry Stain Brown, size small (I'm 5'7'' and 118 lbs), and it fits very well, leaving some room for layering if I choose. I was afraid the arms would be too short, but they're not. The color is beautiful. Also, I was afraid removing the hood would leave the snaps visible, but the collar has a convenient little flap that covers the snaps.

Tried on a Large North Face Jacket (different type) and it just fit. So I ordered an XL to allow for a sweater underneath. It is a little larger than I expected. The sleeves are too long but overall I like the jacket. It is not very flattering to the figure but hopefully it will keep me warm.

I love this transit coat, it is warm and not to bulky does need some layering but that is the way to go so you can take the coat off and still be warm inside. I love the phantom red it goes with everything. The only thing i would have liked would be if the hood had a pocket to be folded into or was removable.I love the length of this coat.

I am 5'6" with an average or longer torso 135lbs. Size medium runs a little bigger than my last years medium north face aconcaqua. Wanted something a little longer to cover my butt and this comes about 2" past bottom of my butt or 32.5" lenght from top of back collar. could easily wear with a couple layers underneath but small might have been to snug. Sure it will be warmer than my shorter one for the cold Chicago winter. It is slightly tapered inward at the waist and is not too puffy. Love the color and think it will wash well like my aconcaqua.

Bought this for my girlfriend and she loves it. Says it's warm and comfy and she wears it all the time, even when it's not really that cold.

This coat is:
flattering (and I'm not thin)
Warm (I run my dogs wearing it in the Indiana winter)
the only coat I will wear when I want comfort in winter

LOVE IT!!! I live in Illinois and recently traveled to ND and this coat kept me warm the whole time!!! It is the best coat I have every had.

There are only two cons: The size maybe runs a little large- I ordered a small and could have used an XS, but I kept the small so that I could put lots of layers/sweater underneath if needed. Also, feathers occasionally pop out;

I already have the Transit Jacket in blue, and I absolutely love the warmth, comfort and style. Hard to take it off. I bought a second one for my daughter in Tanzania Tan color, and we're returning it because the color is a little too gold and shiney for us. We're going to try the Phantom Red one instead. The gold color might be right for some, just not us.

Just got the coat, and love it already. there isn't anything so far that is a negative. perfefct length, good hood, sleeves are a tad bit long, but I'm short and used it. only 5'4" but had to order the large due to larger upper half. will have plenty of room for bulky sweaters. love the phantom red color. can't wait for the cold weather again to give it a test. I don't imagine it will be anything negative.

I bought this jacket just before christmas for a trip to Iowa--I'm from Los Angeles so I was a little worried about the weather. We were there during the big storm that passed through and this coat is worth every cent! I was so warm, all I wore underneath it was a cuddle dud top and a t-shirt. YES it is that warm. Also it is supprisingly unbulky by down coat standards, I didn't look like I was wearing a sleeping bag. Now I'm in Michigan and again this coat is making my trip so much more enjoyable. I liked it so much my sister in North Carolina bought one from backcountry.com and my mom bought one in Boston.
THANK YOU!! Note, I am petite (5'1 and about 120 lbs) I needed an extra small, my mom is 5'2 and about 130 she got a small) If you have small shoulders go for the XS. The ink blue is a beautiful color too.

I was looking for a jacket that covered the top of my pants, and I found it. I love this jacket. It is very warm and very lightweight at the same time. Perfect fit!

The coat doesn't appear to be made with high enough quality. My wife has only had the coat for a few weeks and the feathers are already coming out.

This jacket is very cozy and comfortable to wear. It's very warm and light. I am a college student and it's perfect for wearing to classes.

I never thought I could be so passionate about a jacket, but I love this one. It is magically warm without being bulky or heavy. I'm 5'5" and about 125 pounds and it fits perfectly. I got the long version of this coat, in black, earlier in the year as a gift and I don't how I lived without one before. I live outside of Philly and it was a nasty winter.

I bought this jacket just before Christmas and I really like it. It is very light weight, but very warm (especially today when it was -16 degrees on my way to work). I normally wear smalls in shirts but ordered a medium and it fits pretty well - a little big, but room for big sweatshirts/sweaters. The only thing is that I wish it were a bit longer because it just barely cover my bottom but it said that it would come to about mid-thigh.

I got this jacket for my wife for xmas and she absolutely loves it. We live in NY and this keeps her warm on those freezing windy days.

I was concerned when I received this jacket that it wouldn't be warm enough, as it is so thin and lightweight........but I have been out in below freezing temps, and it is great - warm but not heavy & bulky. Fits well, and good length.

I live in Chicago and by far this is the warmest jacket I have ever worn. The style is great and the color is really nice! I recommend this to any one who loves in the Midwest.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this jacket. The lenghth is perfect as it is a little longer than my waist and it is SO warm! It has eough filler but is not overly warm!

Love the length, warmth, color (cherry stained brown) and the fact that it's washable! I have small children so everything must be washable... Still can't get over value here compared to NF itself! And shipping was super fast! Only wish it was a bit more tapered at the waist.

I love the coat -- needed a warm non wool coat for the weekend

I love the color (black),length, light weight and warm. Shipping was fast and I got lucky to get it at a discounted price. Thank you.

This jacket is great. We recently moved to NE Ohio and this keeps me warm but doesn't restrict any movement. Perfect for the environment.

Just got my jacket today, in Vintage White (small). Looks great and is perfect for cold midwest winters. Runs true to size except for the sleeves. They're pretty long, so I'll have to fold them in. I was surprised by this considering that I tried this jacket on in a nearby store, and the sleeves fit fine.

Ordered this coat along with some others, returned this one for no paticular reason
