The North Face Women's Alta Vista 2.5L Hooded Jacket, Waterproof, Breathable, Windbreaker

I am a big fan of Northface and own many products of them, so, I was really surprised to find out that this jacket is NOT WATERPROOF! I took a simple city walk yesterday under the rain, which was nothing heavy, and my cellphone got all wet (I had placed it in the inner pocket) and my clothes were damp. I am so upset! I don't recommend this jacket.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for Illinois colder days. My friend had one and I borrowed. Kept wind and rain out. Layer on a sweater and it is cozy warm!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right weight. Right color. Right size. Right cost!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a light coat rain coat for hiking, travel, and everyday use - and this fit my needs better than expected. Extremely packable, light weight, keeps me dry, and comfy!

I bought this jacket a couple weeks ago because I needed a lightweight rain shell. I regret my purchase though because it's not breathable at all, like AT ALL. Even with the pit zips open. It bottles in the heat and sometimes I am dripping sweat when I take it off. It also bunches weirdly at the front when I bend over. This was my first time buying North Face and I was excited to finally spend the money on a good quality shell. I will say, it seems like a durable jacket, but I am super disappointed. Not sure what I'm going to do because I obviously can't return it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the length of this jacket. The extra coverage in the rain is great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this mainly to have folded up in my backpack for when it unexpectedly rains on my bike adventures/commute and/or running in the rain. Anything with ventilation (even rain jackets) is a huge plus for me as I sweat easily. I like how it fit--not too tight and not like I'm wearing a bag. Haven't had it for long, so we'll see how long it will last. The one thing I didn't like, is when I wear a sleeveless shirt under, my sweaty shoulders and arms will kind of stick to the inside of the rain jacket as this jacket does not have the mesh lining.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a coat for cool days of wind and/or rain. It is soft, once washed, love the color, and fits true to size. I'm not sure I would wear it with a sleeveless top as could stick if sweat but perfect with light long sleeve top. I highly recommend it for windy, rainy days and just cool days when you need a little more than light shirt.
