Great Jacket It Was Easy Good Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually returned the Women's Freedom Jacket (it was too tight under my arms with a heavy sweater on ). But, I traded it in for the Men's Freedom Jacket which was much roomier for me. I am very pleased with it so far as for roominess when wearing a heavy sweater underneath. So far have only worn it in pouring rain & it held up really well. Unfortunately, since I just bought it recently, it hasn't gotten cold enough here in New England to test it in that type of weather. I'm sure it will handle the cold really well as my past jackets from the North Face have done. I'm very pleased with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this coat in boysenberry after Chicago got hit with lots of snow and below zero temperatures. As I was out shoveling, I discovered the designer winter coat I bought from a big department store was NOT waterproof. Unfortunately, I weigh 274, so finding a coat isn't easy. After researching, I decided to try this one even though it is over $300. It fits great (it isn't loose, but it is comfortable and I can sit with it zipped)! It also is not puffy, so there is no added bulk. The sleeves are nice in that they are not too short and I can tighten them at the wrist with the Velcro. I also love the chest pocket--I put my phone in there and can listen to a podcast as I walk my dog. Well worth the money!
I recently got this to pair with my freedom bib, and I absolutely love it! The color is stunning! It has plenty of pockets for storing everything I need, keeps me warm, and even has vents to help you cool off.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wore this jacket to Finnish Lapland in February. I wore 2 other TNF layers and a sweater and this kept me warm in - 22 celsius cold weather with wind. It was perfect.
Perfect for windproof and waterproof environments #Iceland
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket has brilliant insulation and works well in the colder winter months. I've been using it between temperature ranges of 0-10 degrees Celsius and it works very well. Because of the lightweight nature of the jacket it doesn't feel too heavy to wear, walk around in, or even to carry. It is definitely waterproof as I have used it in the rain (not heavy but for drizzle) and has a sleek look. If you're looking for something warm and lightweight that adjusts to the temperature of your body then I would say look no further.
So far this has serves me well! Went snowshoeing in it when it was 10 deg and it was very warm. Also warm shoveling snow. Did not get cold in this jacket. Look forward to snowboarding in it in a few weeks! The longs are a bit longer than usual, but not enough to worry too much about it.
I returned this because it was too small for me around the waste. However, this was a very well made snow type coat, and the moss, aqua, and black colors were beautiful. No larger size was available, or I would have ordered the same jacket in a larger size. I ended up getting an OR uninsulated shell in a Harbor Blue color instead, and I love that one too (I plan to layer that one). Loved both styles.
I fell in love with the beautiful Lite Lilac color and hoped it would look the same as it did on the screen. Yes! The actual color was exactly what I was looking for. The color isn't too light; it's really a nice shade. I'm 5'5" (164 cm), and the size S fit me well. Since it's a ski jacket, the sleeves are long. Surprisingly, it's really light, yet thick enough that I won't feel cold while snowing. It's a perfect, dreamlike jacket for me :D
