      Comments about The North Face Windwall 1 Fleece Jacket - Women's:

      I use this for backpacking, hiking, and running around town. It's perfect for a single layer in cool weather and indispensable in windy weather - it really does cut the wind. It won’t suffice for really cold temps (below about 40, depending on how cold-natured you are) but for cool or windy days, it’s perfect. It washes nicely. I have a white one, and it gets filthy in the backcountry, but I've never had the ground-in dirt NOT wash out. No pilling, either. I've never worn it in a downpour, so I won’t say it's completely waterproof (I highly doubt it) but it repels light rain & snow well.

        I'd been wanting to purchase a mid-weight jacket for my spring/summer/fall adventures in the mountains. I fell in love with this jacket in the store, it wasn't what I walked in to buy! But it's washed up wonderfully, fits nicely, and is a wonderful addition to a shell in the rain or snow!

          I have the Denali and it seems a little bulky at times. So I wanted a warm coat without the bulk and this coat was perfect for that. It really does block the chill of the wind!!

            Comments about The North Face Windwall 1 Fleece Jacket - Women's:

            I got my girlfriend one of these with a snowboard jacket for X-mas and she absolutely loved it. I was attracted to the durability and comfort people in forums had described- and she always says she is chilly, so a warm fleece was necessary with the jacket. I have to say I was blown away at how nice it is, her sister has one she had borrowed before - find out it is a couple years old, but still looks great (no pilling and has cleaned well). I liked hers so much, I went and bought myself one and am thinking of getting another, best fleece I've ever owned -period.

            Comments about The North Face Windwall 1 Fleece Jacket - Women's:

            I love this jacket. I just ordered my second windwall - but took the smart route with black this time around. I bought a white one a year and a half ago, and while I love the jacket, it gets dirty fast and started to pill on me in the past couple of months. I wear the jacket everywhere, it's great. It's comfortable, light, and truly does stop wind from getting it. However it does not stop the cold, so I wear a sweater or fleece underneath it and that works fine.

            The only thing I would complain about on this jacket is that there are only 2 pockets. My husband is on his 2nd Men's Windwall and they always have an extra pocket for the men, why not the women? And I'd go for the Windwall 2, but I don't want a permanent hood on my jacket.

            I highly recommend this jacket though - other than just the two pockets - it's awesome for anything and everything.

            Service and delivery comments:

            I ordered the product yesterday, standard shipping with a delivery estimate of 1/6/09. I received notification that it shipped out today, and I should probably have it by Friday since the warehouse is only 2 hours from my current location. REI's shipping gets better every time I submit an order online.

            We had just got a few inches of snow this week and it the wind was pretty fierce. I was running some errands and was pretty chilly. I ran in the house to change into something warmer. This was the first time I put on my new fleece. I instantly got warmer and did not feel the wind hit me like it did before. What a great jacket. Will buy another one. I like it becasue its not as bulky as a Denali but really cuts the wind. You just might want to layer something under it or put a vest over it. Must Buy!!

              I really like this North Face product. Living in SD and Los Angeles, this jacket is great for the warm days and cool nights. Also very light weight so good for runs as well. Zippered jacket pockets a great plus and the lengths of the collar makes this jacket fashionable.

                This jacket is great. I have two already, bought one more for a friend (who loves it too!). I'd like to get the brown one but should I own 3 of the same? I wear multiple times a week, casual cover around town, to & from work, beach in windy days, camping, and best of all, sailing. Keeps the wind out fantastically. Fit is perfect. I'm usually btwn Md & Lg, but the Lg had more room/ease of fit. Washes and wears well, but would recommend light to no dryer action. Drys super quick, so the dryer gets too hot and the outer texture isn't as soft as new. But no real complaints, and I still dry them on extra low. I tried on the WW2, and the fit was very different, longer, and the hood was awkward. I am actually a hoodie fan, but didn't care for that version much.

                    Comments about The North Face Windwall 1 Fleece Jacket - Women's:

                    Love this jacket to layer under a rain shell or wear over a sweater. It's done a great job repelling light rain and light snow. Adds a nice layer of warmth, but truely is only mid-weight for warmth. Took it on it's first week long trip and had some unexpected night time temps just below freezing. It was my outermost layer over 2 long underwear tops and it did a pretty good job considering, but I would bring a heavier weight layer next time.

                    Sleeves are really long on me (5'5" Medium Size Jacket) and I have to roll them up. Otherwise great fitted cut. Not bulky or square. Zipper has been pulling apart at that bottom so I will be taking it back to exchange for another one.

                    Bonus is that despite being fleece it isn't a pet hair magnet. Minimal pet hair attraction compared to most fleece. Washes up well without getting large pills.
