The North Face  Printed Fanorak Pullover - Women's

I've been wanting an anorak to throw in my pack for hikes. This one looked good in the pictures but didn't work for me. First off, the fabric is super lightweight and silky. Unfortunately, that meant it clung to me with static. Second, it's long and boxy, which I usually like, but since there was NO drawcord or elastic at the hem, it just flapped around and looked big. Finally, while they went out of their way to make it fold into a cute little pouch with an extra zipper pocket on the side, it just created bulk on an otherwise featherweight garment, especially with the waist belt (though that is removable). If the ability to strap it around your waist is what it's all about for you, maybe you'll like it.

I'm a teacher and needed something for when we are outside at recess. I also plan on wearing this jacket during any outdoor activity. I love the pattern and color and look forward to wearing!

I purchased this jacket a size larger than my fit because I know I want to wear a heavy sweater under it. That being said, the sleeves just make it to my wrists, when usually I would have to roll, tuck or fold sleeves on a large sized item. Aside from the short sleeves, the jacket is extremely long, almost like a dress, with no elastic or pull cord at the bottom. I am going to have the jacket altered so that I can scrunch or tighten the bottom so that it sits at my waist, opposed to my knees. The material seems light and durable. I haven't worn it outside yet, so I can't comment on how it performs in different weather conditions.

Love the print, weight, design, just about everything. But would love more if there was petite sizing. It’s somewhat long for vertically challenged gals. Otherwise, many compliments.

I find this pullover to be an excellent addition to my outdoor gear, and I really love the green colourway. It is great at blocking wind, and adds that little extra layer of warmth. I use it over other layers, or as a layer when it is too cold for just a tee but too hot for a jacket. It covers my butt, which in a windbreaker. I live in the subtropics, and I've used it hiking in the windy hills, and camping by the beach. Design improvements I'd make: 1) The pocket is a little bulky when the bumbag straps are in it. Not really an issue in terms of functionality, just something to be improved upon. 2) The straps are heavier and I'm not into the button clasp. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and would purchase this model again. I was deciding between this and a patagonia houdini, but I'm happy I went with this as it has more of a cool factor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this! I wear this hiking and it is perfect!!

I'm disappointed that I wasted $85 on this product. It barely qualifies as water resistant and is certainly not waterproof. It is a decent windbreaker and may work as another layer over my lighter winter puffer jacket.

Really great for blocking out the wind, overall very functional. I gave it 4/5 for fit because it can be a little tight in the shoulders. Especially when wearing a jacket underneath.

This is a cute jacket. I haven't worn it in wet weather yet, so I cannot comment on that part. I love how it packs small into the front pocket! I do wish it had a draw string on the bottom. It seems a little wide/baggy through the body. I'm 5''8" and 123 lbs. and ordered a small. It fits quite well otherwise. I like that it's long enough! It seems a little overpriced to me, but then Northface is usually a little spendy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've worn this kayaking, hiking, and to an amusement park. It's been amazing, especially at the park. It packed up nicely and wore it around my waist. It's so easy to layer and is lightweight. The colors are vibrant and eye-catching. Great purchase. Runs a little big but I like that for layering.
