Can't believe The North Face has the nerve to charge this much for a poor quality jacket. Inside "lining" shredded apart after minimal use. It would be an insult to donate it to a thrift store or shelter. DON"T buy this product.
The sleeves on this jacket aren’t waterproof at all. It can’t last in a light drizzle for 20 minutes without being soaked through. Really bummed to have spent money on this. I definitely don’t recommend buying this product.
Great quality design and look. The XXL women's jacket runs on the small side. It is smaller than a 1X size in other brands.
The color is a bit darker than I was expecting, but is very nice. It fits as expected and feels very good on! There are zippered pockets and interior pockets as well. I don’t have anything negative to say about it.
Just spent a month in Europe Jan-Feb 2026. Used it almost daily. Used it through some real downpours. It did what it was supposed to do, keep me dry. I liked the internal and external pockets.
I chose this rain jacket because it is ~2" longer than other models. I also love the color. It's a bit smaller across the chest than the REI rain jacket that I purchased about 6 years ago
The jacket fits perfect and very well made. All the details of this North Face is consistent with the high quality it usually has!! Great price and it’s not second hand!!
