I would only buy it on sale. </p> <p>Just like you I've found that I hate wearing a winter jacket. I usually just wear a vest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299389 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 10:49:26 +0000 Greentea 1299389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually prefer Patagonia. We wear all patagonia everything. Even LO. It is excruciatingly cold here so it is worth it to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299381 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 10:43:20 +0000 littlek 1299381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH, LO and I all have the Denali fleece jacket. We like them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299379 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 10:41:06 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1299379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a North Face jacket, but a friend has a fleece jacket and since they have a lifetime warranty, she has gotten it replaced every few years (three times total, for free) because it started to pill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299338 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 10:19:39 +0000 PinkElephant 1299338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried the kids' XL trick and wasn't happy with the result, so you may want to try one on in store before buying online. I typically wear an adult xs and found the kids XL to be a lot wider than that size, which surprised me! It still fits me I guess, but the look is very different/much less tailored than the adult jacket, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299297 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 10:07:52 +0000 mediagirl 1299297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: yes, exactly!

I wear it because I sweat in a thick jacket. I don't wear it because it's "NORTH FACE" lol. it's warm, but if it's going to be freezing/ice/wind/etc, I'd wear a normal jacket. </p> <p>but for regular 30 degree days (i'm in New England), it's fine for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299273 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 10:00:04 +0000 jetsa 1299273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one that my mom got at a resale shop for $20 several years ago and I love it. I've had other brands of fleece and they aren't as warm to me, so I think its something with the brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299270 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 09:58:57 +0000 mediagirl 1299270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love mine but it always catches my stray hairs, which drives me bonkers. I spend more time peeling hair off of it than I do enjoying wearing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299259 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 09:55:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 1299259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have several (I get them for 1/3 of the cost through work) and I think they are worth the money for sure, I've had several items for 5+ years and it has held up great. </p> <p>Colombia has similar items, and actually I've seen Target have some similar pullovers/fleeces as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299243 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 09:43:30 +0000 Mamaof2 1299243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Oh great tip! I can wear kids size XL so I do that too sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299237 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 09:40:26 +0000 Boheme 1299237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been wearing the same one for about 6 years and it looks brand new. I bought it in the largest child size to save money - I think it translates to a women's size medium. I don't remember which one it is, but its nylon and the fuzzy stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299208 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 09:27:09 +0000 PinkElephant 1299208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love them! Hubby and I each have several (including Denalis, which seem to be the classic), and we got LO a hooded fluffy Denali this winter, too! they wear very well/are worth the money in terms of being higher quality than something you'd buy at say...old navy, and you can sometimes save if you shop online ski/outdoor sports sites for last seasons' colors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299188 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 09:15:50 +0000 MrsTiz 1299188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are really warm! I have one but it doesn't ever get that cold here and i'm hot by nature so I don't wear it often because it's so freaking hot!</p> <p>Columbia is similar! Anything fleece, really.<br /> I have a solid black Denali.<br /> <a href="http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/womens-denali-jacket_2.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/womens-denali-jacket_2.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/north-face-jackets-worth-the#post-1299174 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 09:01:24 +0000 Mamaof2 1299174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason as I get older I cant stand wearing winter coats anymore! We live in PA so it gets cold but nothing too bad!</p> <p>I always see people wearing North Face jackets - are they warm? Are they worth the money? Is there something out there similar but cheaper?</p> <p>Also if you own a North Face - which one? </p>
