Alteration Buffs Jacket (Unisex)

Dec 23, 2025

More than I expected

Lighter than it looks, and the insulation is excellent.
It can be used without worrying about light rain.

It's mature and stylish

It has a chic atmosphere and looks cool. It's warm, though not as much as the Baltoro. I think I can get through Tokyo winters with this. The black one looked cool, but I wanted a gray down jacket, so I chose gray.

It's warm and the best. The subtle logo is really nice. Although it has become cold, this will be an essential outerwear for this winter.

It's good that the logo is not too prominent and there's less sports feel

175cm/65kg
Average build

The fit is light and seems unlikely to cause shoulder strain.
Just throwing this on over a T-shirt, I feel completely warm even on the coldest winter days in Kanto with strong winds.
The sleeve length was just right.
It's voluminous and cute, so I'm glad I got it at a good price.

A simple piece that can be used for a long time

As a standard model with a city specification, this is just the right piece for everyday use.
It's a simple and refined design, making it easy to incorporate into my commute, and it performs well both on and off the clock.
The logo isn't overly assertive, which leaves a good impression, and I really liked that it can be worn in a more adult-like manner.
The design isn't easily swayed by trends, so it seems like it will last a long time.

Outstanding comfort

As expected from a wind stopper, it's incredibly warm.
The color is also nice, and the North Mark in the same color gives it a sophisticated feel!
I'm grateful I could purchase it at a low price.

Lightweight

I own the Antarctica parka, but it was heavy and difficult to wear around town except for when going to the winter mountains, so I bought this for town use. It's light and good.

GORE-TEX is good, but the soft fabric quality of the wind stopper is exceptional in terms of comfort.

I purchased this for my child's bike commute, and the material doesn't feel overly casual, so I thought it would look cute with a fitted knit long skirt when going out.
The hem is adjustable, making it stylish to wear.

Windproof and warm!

It's windproof, so it keeps the wind out and is warm! I go out wearing just a thin long-sleeve T-shirt without layering too much underneath the jacket!

So warm

It's warm. It's fluffy, but the arms aren't tight, and the length is just right for easy movement. I originally wore a White Label down jacket that had feathers coming out from the seams, so I was curious about this replacement.

Gift

I bought it as a Christmas present for my wife. I have a few jackets, but I didn't have a North Face down jacket, so I plan to give it to her once the Christmas season in December begins. I'm glad I made this purchase; I think she'll be happy with it.

It's still before winter so

Since I haven't really worn it yet, I deducted one star, but I'm satisfied with the price I bought it for. I have a lot of outdoor work in cold areas, so I'm counting on it! The size is a bit larger, but it's a nice fit for layering.

On a business trip to Hokkaido

For work, I will wear it when I go to snowy places. I haven't used it yet, but my two sons really like it, so it seems there will be a fight over it.
In terms of functionality, it has good water resistance and cold protection, making it a must-have item in snowy areas.
It feels a bit heavy, but I feel that it can be covered by its functionality.

I've had my eye on this product for a while and bought it when it went on sale. The design is more subdued than the Baltoro and is easy to use.

It's a nice color for a winter coat.
However, it is quite oversized.
I might have been okay with an M. The design and color are good, though.

Purchased as a gift for my son

I bought it as a present for my son. Many reviews mentioned that it runs large, so I hesitated over whether to get an L, but I boldly purchased my usual XL. It's not excessively large, and since I'll be wearing thicker clothes, I think this size is just right. He was happy with it, so I'm satisfied.

I loved it!

Since it was an outlet, the only color option was chicory coffee, but I was able to buy it at about 30% off!
The color is lovely, with a matte texture and a modest logo in the same color, I'm satisfied with everything.
I would usually choose XS for a perfect fit, but I'm glad I went for an oversized S. The hood also covers me completely, so I feel I can manage snow shoveling in Hokkaido's harsh winter.

It is very warm.

I live in Hokkaido, and I can stay warm even on winter days. The hood part is also warm, and it doesn't hurt my ears. I chose a larger size thinking of sharing it with my son, but if I tighten the sleeves and hem, no wind comes in.

I bought one without a hood last year and liked it, so I purchased one with a hood this year. It might attract debris and be noticeable, but I just use a lint roller when that happens. It's light and warm. I like it. The best size is XS.

It was my first down jacket, and the size was just right, plus it feels comfortable with no weirdness. It's definitely warm as cold-weather gear. I think a slightly more modest logo would be nice.

The texture of the fabric.

Since it was wrinkled from the moment it arrived and the wrinkles never seem to go away. I wore it for the first time today, and it attracts dust easily, making the overall look appear whitish, with dust accumulating in the wrinkles, making it look dirty.
I'm embarrassed to wear it, but I think I'll have to endure it.
I regret purchasing it.
I would like to know if there are any solutions to this problem.

XS was the just right size, but I wanted to wear it loosely, so I went with S. It’s easy to throw on and warm. It has a lot of volume, but the larger fit gives it a cute shape. The silhouette from the back is round.
