It's definitely not thigh-length. Large is 32 inches on the hanger. The 35.75 inches must be measured from the chin with the zipper closed.
As all other North Face summit series products it does not disappoint. I have been using North Face since the early 80s in all of my outdoor objectives and The North Face seems to have it figured out, I have ventured out to Patagonia, Mountain Hardware, a few other various brands, but from the basic beanie hat to the highly technical future fleece The North Face continues to lead the pack on being the best of the best. I wouldn’t trust my life to anything else, but North Face and I have been in some very inhospitable places and yet it is a bit pricey, but it’s not situation where you ask yourself, can you afford it but It’s more of a situation where can you afford to be without it?
On first use, less than an hour during a light rain, significant discoloration in multiple places that has lasted for days. Unsure if this affected its waterproof integrity. Not ok for a jacket that cost $350. Would not recommend.
