Extremely disappointing, not what Northface used to be, a shame.
I am quite disappointed in this Osito jacket. I am giving it 2 stars because the color is ok, and the quick delivery. I already have 5 Northface osito jackets, so I am experienced with the item and am qualified to comment on the quality, or lack thereof. This Osito is very thin, others have said this, I would almost call it flimsy. Yes, it is soft, but not as thick and luxurious feeling as the last one which was called SILKY RASCHEL FLEECE, which I also bought in Vintage White, not that long ago. The color is good, not exactly like the last vintage white jacket, but satisfactory, if only the texture and thickness were the same; sadly they are not. If this were my first North face jacket, I would not order another! As it is, fortunately, this is my 6th Osito jacket, so I don't need any more, . If this is the quality that Northface is producing now, I will not recommend this company to my friends. I do not think this jacket is worth the price. What a shame, that excellent items have to be sacrificed for a company's bottom line nowadays.
UPDATE: After trying it on several times now, I am totally disgusted with it. It puckers on both sides due to how the zipper was put in, extremely poor workmanship, (not tiny puckers, large ones) And over all the front is NOT SMOOTH, no matter how much I stroke it and try to make it lie flat/smooth as the previous jackets did, due to the way it was poorly assembled! I have 5 other jackets which all lie smoothly in the front, but this one just cannot do that because of the uneven way it was assembled. So not only is it flimsy, almost feels like wearing a heavy shirt, it simply will not lie smoothly in the front, and has a dreadfully inferior appearance.
It is not worth more than about $25, if even that, and I still would not pay that. Soooo, I AM RETURNING IT and will not try to buy another Northface jacket.
