The North Face Men's TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip

Comment

This was way softer than I thought it would be. While it does not feel very heavy or thick, it actually kept me very warm even in temperatures that I was expecting to have to wear a bulkier, heavier jacket in. At the same time, I didnt get too hot in situations where it wasnt fridgid outside. It serves best as a windbreaker or stylish pullover for those times when you just dont think your huge puffer jacket that you can hardly move around in is necessary. One of my favorite things about this is how well it fits. I got a medium, and it felt a liiiiiittle more snug than most medium sizes, which was great. I didnt want this to be as baggy as a typical hoodie or something, and it wasnt. Its comfortable without looking slouchy. I had a great experience from the buyer as well. At first, I was disappointed to see it did not have the option of Prime shipping, and ordered it at the same time that I ordered a few items that did have Prime shipping. They all came on the same day, despite being shipped from different locations and with different shipping speeds. Its hard to guarantee that they will be so speedy all the time, but I had an A+ experience this go-around anyway. Im not crazy about how far down the zipper goes - it seems almost like its close to a 1/2 zip, but honestly the picture is fairly accurate. Thats just a personal preference. With it being a pullover, the large zipper does make it easier to get on and off, but I digress. And as with anything of this material, youre likely to notice little pieces of things getting stuck to it. Theres really no working around it, no matter who you buy from. Finding little pieces of lint is definitely worth having the super comfy material, though, in my opinion. Really, those are the only "negatives" I can think of, but those are just things to be aware of. Im still extremely satisfied with my purchase and Id recommend this to anyone.

Very cozy and warm. I ordered a size small, the sleeves are pretty big which is the only reason I am giving it a 4. Im 57 and 155 lbs (female) and is not as fitted as I had hoped. I probably would have ordered an XS if it were available as an option and Im sure it would have fit perfect then. No fault of the maker, just of whats available. Happy with the purchase.

Nicely made, lightweight, warm, and comfortable. Works well as part of a layered combo, or by itself if its not too cold and windy. -------------------------------------------------------------- Update 4/10/16: After several months of use and once a week washing, the microfleece fabric has lost its even appearance and is looking rough and worn. I only wear this around town and never out in the wild or on hikes, etc, so it has never been treated roughly. My old TKA 100 purchased back in 2006 still pretty much has its even appearance and is holding up well after all these years, so I am wondering if I received a counterfeit item, or if TNF garments are being made of cheaper microfleece than in past years. The older shirt was made in Indonesia, and the newer one in Jordan, if that makes any difference. I have included comparison photos. The one on the left is my older top, and the one on the right is the newer one, purchased about 4 months ago.

Very cheap feeling and low quality. Does not feel to be the same fabric that North Face uses for their traditional pullovers. Have you ever felt those cheap blankets they sell at IKEA? This fabric is identical to that. After a week, the threading around the cuff is falling apart as shown in the picture. I hope CS can reach out to me and rectify this issue, then I will edit my review.

Not at all what I expected from North Face. It started to pill even before first washing. Looks and feels cheap. Not at all warm. Looks much better in picture. Very disappointed and would not recommend.
