I love this jacket. Alright, so I'm an exceptionally petite person, and I'm always swimming in adult sizes. I decided to try the 'Big Kids'', and I'm not disappointed. It fits well, perhaps, with a little extra room (I could have sized down one size for a more fitted look), but it's comfortable and warm, and the quality is fantastic.

Love the Peak Purple and they didn't have it this year in Women's so I got it in Youth instead. I normally wear the Nuptse in a Women's size Small (with a baggy hoodie) or an XS (with a long sleeve shirt). I got an XL in Youth which fits me great. I could've went with the Large but the sleeves may have been too short. Also for size reference, I wear a Women's XS in the Denali jacket and Osito jacket. Hope the size reference from me helps you if you were also interested in getting a Youth jacket. The only thing different from an adult to youth jacket is that there is no 3rd pocket in the inside of the Youth jacket. Other than that, I love the youth ones. Jacket is extremely warm and I def will be getting more colors.

This is a black puffer jacket. It keeps me very warm in the cold and it's very comfortable. I literally love it so much and it's the best purchase I ever made. I wear it all the time. Definitely worth every dollar spent. It goes with every outfit too and it just looks so fancy!!

I bought this for my teenage daughter, size large. It fits perfectly and has the cool retro puffy look that all kids are wanting right now. The jacket is very warm and versatile. The price was right on as well. I love this jacket option for teens- in fact bought another for my teenage son.
I love my North Face jackets. They are perfect for winters and late fall. They are very comfortable and insulated perfectly. I am thinking about purchasing another one. I really wish they had one in orange for women. Maybe one day soon they will. I will proudly wear my two new jackets. I love them.
My son wore this jacket from October thru the whole winter up until spring (April). Very sturdy jacket he plays in it and not one rip. he loves it's because it always keeps him warm. I would recommend sizing up if you have a growing boy. I will definitely be buying him another next winter. FYI he was 4 going on 5 and I bought a size XS(6).
I love the color of this jacket -- it's so unique. It's very warm, and the pockets are deep. I didn't know that this color was a cushcord fabric; that would've been nice to know since it impacts the waterproofability. The sleeves are a little short in comparison with the width and length, but that makes sense as it's kids size.
I was going to buy a women Nuptse jacket, however, xs in colour black has been out of stock for several months. So I decided to try the Youth one.I am 5'2, around 95lbs. I bought an XL, and it fits me loose with a hoodie(Champion Reverse Weave) underneath. The sleeves are a little bit long for me, and the jacket almost covers my hip. I think the size L would give me a standard fit, but I prefer to fit looser.I compared mine to my friend who has the same jacket in women's. There are a few small differences. The adult one has a zipper pocket inside, and the youth ones don't. The cuffs of the adult version have something like a hook-and-loop fastener. Last, the zipper pulls are slightly different. The youth one is a great deal if you don't mind these differences.
I love the Pink Moss color of this jacket. However, there was an issue with ALL 3 of the jackets I ordered, returned, and re-ordered. All jackets appeared to have these weird dirty dark spots on the jacket. I thought the first two times I was just unlucky and received a damaged jacket twice, but the third time I started to get suspicious. The third time I realized that if you pulled the fabric up a bit, it wasn't actually dirty, but it was sheer such that you could see the puffer padding(?) inside which has some dark spots throughout. So I would never be able to remove the dark spots because they arent stains and I would not be able to get rid of those dark padded areas without taking the whole jacket apart. It's unfortunate because the color itself is really ... MoreI love the Pink Moss color of this jacket. However, there was an issue with ALL 3 of the jackets I ordered, returned, and re-ordered.

Loved this jacket when I got it. The color is exactly as pictured and the quality is really nice: it has zippered pockets and interior hidden pockets. It is a true 2x and, as a result, was a little too big on me. It's nice to see brands incorporate true plus sizing and I reordered the same jacket in a smaller size and different color!
