Great Northwest city coat
This is the perfect NW coat. I have a previous Northface version of the coat (a raincoat), but the arms are too tight for easy layering. This coat is waterproof , warm and relatively lightweight. I bought it specifically for traveling, but I've been wearing everyday to work since I bought it a month ago and I've been warm and dry in wind, snow, sleet and rain.
Warm & Comfy!
I bought this because it is wind and waterproof, but not too bulky. I was hoping it would keep me warm like my other down NF jackets and it does! It is definitely wind proof! It is true to size and has a great A-line shape, but it comes in a little at the waist to keep a nice feminine shape. This also allows the belt to be tied without creating bulk in the middle. The insulated version does not have a belt buckle and is long enough to tie. The arms are a little bit longer than my other NF jackets, but the zippered sleeve is a nice feature for adjustments. I bought the New Taupe Plaid, which is a nice army green/dark olive color with black plaid (a nice alternative to black and the plaid does not take away from the coat color). I am short (5'1"), so the length hits me at my knees, which is fine as it keeps me warmer. The bottom part of the coat is wide enough to walk comfortably without having to unzip from the bottom or undo the snap that keeps the back slit closed. Overrall, this is a great coat for warmth, protection from the elements, and is really comfortable to wear without the bulk.
