The North Face Aconcagua 3 Womens Insulated Hoodie - Fawn Grey - S

This is my first North Face product. My husband, who's from Alaska, insisted I find a down jacket so I wouldn't be miserable in the cold when I visited my in-laws. After a lot of research, I decided on this jacket because of price point. All other brands with similar jackets were slightly more expensive, and with the 10% discount I got for being a first time customer, it was a good price. The reviews on sizing had me confused but I decided to get a size M as I tend to be cold and usually layer. The jacket fit perfectly.

For someone who is always cold and needs to bundle up, I wore only one layer under the jacket most days! I had to come to terms that when in Alaska, my tendency to put fashion ahead of comfort had to go out of the window. But with this jacket, I could wear my usual clothes without looking like a clumsy baby penguin with all my layers.

I bought this as a present for my self and from day one of wearing it I've constantly had feathers coming out left right and centre. The quality isn't very good. I wouldn't recommend buying this

The jacket is soft and a beautiful/unique color, but it has feathers inside that keep coming out. I haven?t even washed the jacket yet. People point out that I have a feather left on my shirt after taking off the jacket. Especially on the outside, it has little spots of discoloration where feathers are poking out. I had no intention of returning this jacket, so I didn?t keep any of the tags. I thought for $160 and the Northface brand, that quality would not be a concern. Backcountry could only offer me a store credit if I returned the product. I would recommend a different jacket and a different website.
