Very good

It's thin and light yet warm. It's very convenient to wear quickly when it's chilly.

This is good!

It's really warm. Even when layered, it's thin and excellent. I'm definitely going to buy again next time.

This one is enough!

I was originally looking for a thin parka when I found this product. I bought it in size M, but it's a bit tight, so I want to buy it in size L in a different color next year.

A little small

I usually wear size L, but I bought XL because it is a bit smaller since I wear it as an inner layer.

Got what I wanted

The user of this product is my partner, and they were looking for a mid-layer that is lightweight, dries quickly, and is made from soft material that can pack compactly. Surprisingly, it's hard to find these conditions at clothing stores because they generally don’t last long. North is impressive once again. Moreover, the Summit series is functional wear, so we are very satisfied. I'm using the black one as streetwear.

Just the right warmth

It has breathability, a comfortable level of warmth, and the design is simple and North-like. I was exactly looking for this kind in spring and autumn.

I'm glad I bought it! Satisfied

It's thin, but warm. It's lightweight and compact. It can be used in three seasons from autumn to spring! The blue color I purchased was easy to match with various clothes. The size was a bit tight as the staff mentioned, so while M was doable, I bought L. It’s not too big and feels good to wear. By the way, my usual size is M.

Essential

An item that uses different types of zippers. The full zip is very useful during hikes. I want a full zip that can be used like a balaclava hoodie!

I'm finding it very useful to throw on when it's a bit chilly. I think it will also be useful as mid-layer in the mountains.

I bought it as a mid-layer for snowboarding. It has moderate warmth and breathability specific to fleece. Personally, I prefer grid fleece.

I tried wearing it as an inner layer for trekking during the snowmelt period. It’s very warm. The full zip was also easy to use.

Best buy

I mainly use it for backcountry skiing. I think the full zip, which is easy to take off and put on, is very convenient. It doesn't steam up at all, so I'm not worried about overheating at all.

Feels good against the skin.

The texture feels good and doesn’t stick even when sweating, but overall, the size is large.

Running in sub-zero temperatures

I used it during times when the temperature was below zero. I feel warm just by wearing it indoors. Even if I sweat, I won't get cold if I keep moving. It might be better for sweat management than Patagonia's R1. By the way, when I put my finger in the thumb hole, my shoulders were strained unless I wore size L.

User-friendly

It can be used for a long period from mid-winter (as a mid-layer) to this time (as an outer layer). It feels good to wear, and when not in use, it can be stuffed into a bag.

Perfect for early spring!

I fell in love at first sight with its thin yet solid construction and bought it! I prefer longer sleeves, and I wear it quite loosely in size XL, but I think size L would still have some room. It doesn’t bulk up under a windbreaker, making it just right to wear.

Moderate sweat release is good

I bought one size up with layering in mind. Thanks to the moderate thinness of the fabric, I can continue wearing it comfortably.

Mid-weight full-zip fleece jacket

I usually wear size WM, but after seeing various opinions, I purchased size WL. I was told it fits just right because it has a tight fit. By the way, I'm 172 cm tall, weigh 66 kg, and the M size was a perfect fit for me. It's breathable and not too hot or cold, allowing for comfortable mountain outings.

I plan to wear it as an inner layer for skiing, but it seems likely to be warm since it retains body heat well, so I think it will be useful during the upcoming winter.

As an inner layer for a padded jacket

It's thinner and not as warm as I expected, but I actually like that. It's breathable and perfect as an inner layer for quilted jackets. The design and silhouette are also very good. I use it frequently.

Versatile and easy to adjust

During summer hikes, I wear it at the summit when it's cold, or in autumn and winter, I wear it at home when I feel a bit chilly, or I take it as an outer layer when going outside, without feeling too hot. Just right. The lining feels great.

I purchased it online. Even though it's made of fleece material, it's surprisingly well-constructed. It seems versatile like a shirt. It's warm. Not too hot. Just right. The color is striking. I feel like I can wear it anywhere. I was thinking of wearing it with a black base layer and gray zip hoodie from North for shopping and work today. Thank you for your attention. Let's keep working hard!

Must buy

I purchased it after trying it on at a certain store in advance. The Summit series has its own unique sizing, so it's not the regular size. I'm 175 cm/65 kg and usually wear size L from North. I wear size M in the Summit series. In mid-November, at about 1600 meters in exposed conditions, I was comfortable while hiking, not too hot during activity and didn’t feel cold during breaks. It seems I can make use of it for multi-climbing. I recommend it for active outdoor enthusiasts.

Depends on the usage...

I was looking for a softshell for hiking and bought it because I liked the design. However, compared to the price, the material was thinner than I expected and felt a bit flimsy. I won't use it for hiking, but I will enjoy wearing it as casual wear because of its good design.

I purchased it to wear before and after marathons, during warm-up/cool-down! It's thin and light, but the inner fabric has a texture that makes it feel very warm to wear. I also want to wear it when I go trail running in the future!

Recommended size was not helpful

I bought it as a gift for a climber who is 174 cm tall and weighs 64 kg. His shoulders and chest are somewhat broad. I trusted the recommended size and purchased size M, but when I tried it on, it was too tight. I exchanged it for size L at the cost of shipping. The item is light and seems good for climbing.

Easy to move in

The inside is fluffy and the outside feels soft and nice. It's a fleece that can be worn while trekking. Even though it's thin, it's warm, and the large opening zipper makes it easy to regulate body temperature.

Light

My first impression was that it was light. It’s soft with moderate room. Since it's full zip, it seems good for temperature regulation. I'd like to differentiate its use from the half zip, which is slimmer.

I have a half-zip grid fleece hoodie for harsh winter, but I purchased a full-zip type that is easy to put on and take off when it gets hot during the remaining snow period. It was already useful during this year's GW snow mountain trip.

Convenient to have one

When there's a little bit of cold, I was looking for something I could wear at school and also for accompanying outdoor activities.
The size I usually wear was too tight, so I purchased a size L.
It's light and thin, yet warm.
I'm happy to have found the perfect product for the outdoor learning in October.
