For years, girls in my town wore these everywhere, I always wanted one, but could never afford one. Last weekend my husband and I were at Gander Mtn to look at a new fleece jacket for me. I had planned on buying a Columbia because they are so much cheaper, but of course, having always wanted one I wandered over to the rack that had the North Face fleeces. My husband, knowing how much I've always wanted one and told me to try it on. Here's the thing, I tried on a black one in M, and it fit, okay, seemed kind of small, not snug, just small. So I tried on the L, and it was okay too, this time a little big, would have been great for layering. So I tried on a white one in L, and it was huge. Tried on a white one in M, and it fit similar to the Black L. It seems the sizes vary, I'm not sure if it's in general or from color to color. I ended up getting the White one in M. I wore it on a 20 degree day over just a t-shirt and it was amazing. It's so thin, no bulk, which is great, but so warm! I love this jacket, and though they are expensive, I plan on going back this weekend to buy the black one, and maybe even pick up the pink one after Christmas. I would also like to add, you're paying for quality. I have friends who have had these jackets, wore them everyday through three seasons for three years and still have them. They don't wear out! They're warm, they're water-resistant, they're worth every penny. I don't regret spending so much on a fleece anymore! Highly recommend!!!
