Clean Simple Never Goes Out Of Style

Was freezing on a trip to OH (hitting 14-19 degrees) so had to pick this up last minute. Super comfortable, and warm. Id say it runs true to size.

Great Coat

This coat has a Great fit, this coat is a Great color and the coat is warm but not overly heavy.I have three of these coats and my son does as well. I feel all the north face products are of high quality.

Terrible Service

I am extremely dissatisfied with how my order was delivered. I specifically requested that the package be left in the package room. Instead, it was left in the hallway, thrown directly on a dirty floor. The package arrived opened, damaged, and clearly mishandled. The jacket inside is dirty, which is completely unacceptable for a new item I paid full price for. This is not a minor delivery issue — this is negligence. The package was left in the wrong location, without care, and in unacceptable condition.
