I waited so long to get on the North Face bandwagon and Im kicking myself for not doing it sooner. This jacket is my favorite. Its softer than any jacket Ive ever had and it maintains its softness. I lived in Michigan for years and finally got this when I moved to Florida for a trip to Colorado. Let me tell you, this thing is so comfy I continued to wear it in Florida when there was no good reason to lmao. Id be sweating but super comfy so I didn't take it off. Ill tell anyone to get theirselves a couple of these because they're the best piece of winterwear Ive ever had.
