I bought this because I wanted a cozy, and durable down jacket. I liked the idea of the stretch down and so far it has proven to be exactly what I was hoping for. I wear it skiing in the resort and touring, It fits well under a shell and I've worn it as my main layer while skiing, the 550 fill down is nice and toasty. The wrist cuffs have a cool cinch so they keep warmth in and the collar is nice and high. The stretch is definitely noticeable when moving the arms. overall I'm stoked. Im about 5 foot and 105 lbs and the XS fits snug.

**UPDATE: I wore this at the climate march today in Denver where is was blizzarding with wet snow/rain and I was AMAZED at how dry it stayed. I was completely dry after 3+ hours standing in the rain, the little moisture that had seeped in dried immediately after stepping into a coffee shop. I am very impressed.

I like the fit and style of North Face products. I only needed one go to jacket for the winter months here in Utah and opted for this one. Glad I did because I love it! The green is almost more subtle than the pictures show and the material is super soft. Pulling both arms forward I can really feel the stretch of the jacket through the shoulder and back area. It's easy to wear this as a stand alone jacket or under a shell. I sized up just a little because I will use it mainly as a solo outer layer so I wanted more room to layer underneath. I'm 5'7" 120lbs with 33" chest and opted for the medium for my ideal fit. I usually go for a medium in North Face unless I want it súper fitted

I bought it as a gift and she seemed to love it so i think its good.

This stretch down jacket is nice, it provides you with plenty of warmth and insulation, and it fits true to size. I ordered the Rabbit Gray and returned just because the color is different in real life than it is in the photos. I was expecting it to be pale pink, but it's much more of a gray in real life. It just washed me out. Still a great quality jacket though!
