Columbia Reach The Peak Down Hybrid Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 October 8, 2011

I really wanted to like this jacket but had to return it for several reasons. First, I'm 5'7", 140 lbs. and wear a size 8 or 10. I ordered a large. The length on the jacket was fine and it had a nice feminine cut. But it was completely too tight in the chest and my breasts were really compressed with the jacket zipped up (I'm a 36C). Another strange thing about the jacket was that the sleeves were nice and long, but they were also very tight. And I would say I have slender to normal-sized arms. I could not imagine even wearing a thin long-sleeved sweater under this jacket without being really uncomfortable. It's almost like this jacket was made using the sizing of a child and not a woman. However, I did like the style of the jacket. It's very thin and light and doesn't make you look like a big puffball. Also, the side paneling is awesome -- it takes some of the bulk out of the jacket and helps keep you cool under the arms. But unfortunately, the fit is just really weird for us women with curves.

Does anyone know if this duster is machine washable? Also, is the fabric soft (not itchy like wool)? Thanks for your help!

The North Face Aconcagua Down Jacket - Women's

I usually wear a medium, but sized up to a large and I'm really glad that I did. I think this jacket may run a little small. If I were you, I would go with the medium, since you mentioned that you have wider hips (like me) and this jacket does come down over the hips. I think a small would be too snug over the hips.

I'm 5'7 and it hits right about mid hip. I think it's a good length -- not too short but not too long. I wasn't looking for something to cover my entire butt, so if that's the kind of jacket you want, this coat may not be for you. But I really love it!

The North Face Aconcagua Down Jacket - Women's

I just received this jacket in purple and looking at the pictures on the website, the interior lining is black. When I received the jacket, the lining is actually light gray. Does anyone else have the purple jacket and, if so, what color is the lining? If it's available in black, I would prefer that over gray (i.e., makeup is more noticeable). Thanks for your help!

The North Face TKA 100 Fleece Pant - Women's

According to the size chart, I fall right between a medium and a large. Should I size up to a large, or try to fit in a medium? I'm 5'7, 145 lbs. Anyone's suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
