Best Hiking Jackets For Cold Weather

[ Solid design by TNF! The Nuketo jacket is perfect for fall evening strolls with the dog, sitting by the campfire or light hikes in the mountains! Fit is true to size, I am 125, 5 '' 6 '' and a small fits perfect. This is your jacket to grab to cut the cold out, yet nice enough to transition out for a night in cooler temps. Stylish fit!

[ I was n't too sure initially how much I 'd love this jacket, but honestly, I 'm sold! I was really impressed with how lightweight and breathable this jacket is. It doesn ’ t feel bulky at all, is easy to throw on over almost anything, and it still does a great job of cutting the wind. I even wore it in warm, pretty humid weather and was surprised that I didn ’ t feel overly hot or weighed down in it. If I had to be hyper critical, it did feel like it runs about one size too big. I compared my exact measurements against Northface's size chart, but it feels a bit large, boxy through the shoulders. I do n't mind this too much though as I 'm usually laying it over something. It moves easily and packs down really well, so it would be great for travel or throwing in a backpack when the weather might change. I think it ’s best for hiking, walking, travel, or everyday use when you want some wind protection without a heavy jacket. Overall, it ’s a really versatile layer that ’s easy to keep with you. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

[ I give this jacket a 10/10. I have had many different jackets and they are not as versatile as this one. I was able to move from cold clinic setting to outdoor soccer setting and still be comfortable. It doesn ’ t feel heavy but keeps you at a good temp. It ’s easily to clean if you have kids like me who often spill things on you. I wore a long sleeve and my scrub top under and it was still great. Able to layer and the fit is true to size. If you ’ re in the need for a comfortable/versatile work/leisure jacket this is the one!

[ I received the North Face Nuketo Synthetic Jacket for free in exchange for my honest review. This jacket is a great addition to any wardrobe, whether that wardrobe is geared towards urban living or the outdoor adventure lifestyle. I tested this jacket during the cooler evenings in Truckee whilst star gazing, and in over air conditioned, absolutely freezing, office meetings rooms. I thought the slightly more boxy/semi- cropped fit of the jacket was super cute and very flattering with a pair of jeans, but also looked great when I wore it with a casual pair of work pants. With that being said, I know cropped/boxy looks better on me because I have a long torso. The insulation was just enough for a 50° evening with a light sweatshirt layer underneath without feeling too tight or restrictive. It fit true to size- I went with an XS and that felt perfect for me. I definitely think this is a great shoulder season jacket based on the amount of insulation it has and the coverage. The jacket also moves really well and I would absolutely grab this and throw it in my shoulder bag or day bag if I needed some extra warmth. It ’s probably not the jacket I would reach for when backpacking because I prefer a hooded jacket and one that packs down a little smaller. Overall, it ’s a very comfy and cozy down jacket that I look forward to wearing more this fall.

[ I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I enjoyed this jacket very much. It ’s comfortable, warm and stylish. I wore it on a high elevation hike on the shoulder of Mt. Rainier and on a beach hike. The beach hike was warm because it ’s August! Once the sun went down it got chilly and my North Face came out! It was cute, comfortable and warm. The mountain hike was much colder but the jacket kept me warm without being too bulky. It allows for easy movement and has spacious pockets including an extra zipper chest pocket. Being summer, I wasn ’ t wearing an abundance of layers so the jacket was great, but it might not accommodate extra clothing underneath. I feel like it ran a tiny bit small for layering. The sleeves were a touch short on me as well. Consider sizing up if you have long arms or live in a cold climate and plan on lots of layers. However, if you ’ re just looking for a cute, stylish puffy to wear around town, it should be perfect as- is. There is a simple elastic band around the wrist, vs a cuff with a snap for gloves like some NF puffers have. Overall, love the look, comfort and warmth! It ’s going to make winter a little more fun!
