A lightweight stretch fleece top, The North Face Aurora Zip Neck Fleece for women is ideal for a wide range of high-aerobic outdoor activities. A warm layer of Malden Polartec 100 Series micro-fleece is placed along the front and back panels provide excellent thermal performance, while Polartec Power Stretch side panels enhance your freedom of movement. The entire garment is stitched together with durable flat locked seams that eliminate bulk while preventing chafing. Wear it alone or as a layer under a breathable, waterproof shell.
Disappointed
When I received this item, I thought an error had occurred and that I had been sent a child-sized fleece rather than an adult XS. I purchased this for my daughter (5'1" and 90 lbs.) who wears XS in Patagonia, Gap, BCBG, Ralph Lauren, etc., as well as other North Face apparel. Additionally, I checked the 'size chart' on the website and chose accordingly. This outerwear would not even extend to her waist, and the sleeves would reach her knees! Now, of course, the item is 'sold out' and can't be reordered. I am very disappointed....
Great Fleece
Great choice...lightweight and comfortable
does it all
I tossed this top on right from the bag as I left for a yoga retreat at the Oregon coast. My first impression was that it was a bit smaller than most tops of its kind, but the arms and torso were a perfect length and it is more flattering to the feminine figure than larger tops. The coast weather is temperamental but top was perfect - light enough to wear while exercising yet warm enough to keep me snuggly. The best part was that I could do poses on the beach and roll around in the damp sand with my dog and the sand just fell off. That doesn't happen with other fleece and wet sand. Definitely a bonus.
