An all-around jacket.
This jacket fits true-to-size. Therefore, if you normally wear a size small, then go with a size small. Moreover, this jacket would suffice as an all-around and an all-season jacket. A wonderful buy indeed especially if you're tight on the budget. This jacket does indeed protect you from wind and rain. It protected me from the wind and rain that pummelled the East Coast. It also has a very attractive fit for those who does not like the bulky look. You truly cannot go wrong with a North Face product. I have been an avid fan for quite sometime.

I have been searching for a jacket that is 100% windproof, breathable and stylish. I need to wear it when I go running because I live in an area that is very windy and cloudy in the morning. I use it every day when I go running. It's comfortable and very breathable. I would recommend to anyone that needs a wind proof jacket.

Exactly what I was looking for
Bought this for my upcoming trip into the Denali. My husband has the male version and just loves it. It's water repellent, windproof. He uses his even in the Chicago winter, layered with a sweater. It's also great for riding (motorcycles) because of the wind resistance. My only criticism is that the women's runs tight on the waist and large around the arms. I am pear shaped, and the fit is not optimal. I'm not sure it would do to well for layering if you are pear shaped bc of this fit issue. However, I got a great deal on it at Altrec and I'm willing to make it work.

Finally fashion = functionality
This is one of the best jackets I've ever ordered. Where I live I need a heavy duty jacket like this and this continues to provide the comfort and protection I need while outdoors. The North Face is the highest quality soft shell jacket you will find. Stop your search here because this brand is very hard to beat.
